LAST CLASS OF 2011!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!! Today was the last class of 2011. In fact I didn't realize about this when I came for the class in the morning. We had a totally different day in HPC. During the last two weeks we were getting trained in various subjects which are surely going to be useful in HPC.We went through the basics of discrete math, electronics, micro processors, digital electronics, computation and we had three assignments. To be very frank I had the most engaged two weeks. I was truly enjoying my days. I have the satisfaction of utilizing the semester break for something really useful. I had not been a technical person , in the sense that I will accept everything in its way. After attending the HPC classes, I have developed a quest for gaining  a technical reason for all I come across!!!. This change in me is giving a driving force.....

                                 Eventhough our group is known as HPC group nobody were aware about what actually was CHPC. It was today Sir gave us some basic idea about High Performance Computer. I was thrilled and surprised to know these facts. I cannot stop myself from appreciating Mahesh SIr for his splendid effort!!!! There were so many racks in which many cpu's were placed. These were the workstations. There were two maters which were totally different from the workstations. They divide the tasks among the workstation. Sir took us to the server room and explained about it not in detail because it is quite difficult. We use an Intel XEON processor for the super computer.

                                    The basic concept in CHPC is to parallising. Parallise means to divide the tasks in different nodes. parallising graetly depend on the dependancy.

                                                     x=y+z
                                                      c=x+2
 
cannot be paralllosed because the two equations  are dependent. K computers developed by fujistu, japan is the largest super computer in the world today. SIr showed us two videos about the facebbok data center and google data center. We could realise the difficulties encountered while designing a super computer. It is truly a commandable effort.

                                             Multi processor's and Multicores. Multi processor's have different processor's and in multi cores a single chip has many cores.

                                               We had an unexpected gift from Mahesh sir. A CHRISTMAS CAKE. We celebrated christmas in FISAT for the first time. Unni Kartha sir and Justin sir joined our celebrations.

                                              In the afternoon session we had some chit chats. Sir asked us to give feedback about the classes.  We all had just one comment to make that the classes were really worthy and we had so much of fun in FISAT. Sir gave us some works to be done in the holidays. That is a suspense. I'll be updating that in my blogs in the days to follow.


                                                                      HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
