A team of students of Federal Institute of Science and Technology at Mokkannoor here on Monday claimed to have developed a super computing system called ‘Dakshina cluster series - I’. The system was designed and developed, as part of the Centre for High Performance Computing project initiated by the Computer Science Department.
Dakshina, with Linux operating system, is a platform to deliver excellent performance for users who seek high computer power and resource in a multitasking environment. Dakshina utilises message passing interface for a fault tolerant communication between the computational nodes. It also utilises parallelism technologies like multicore, multithreading and cluster of workstations.
The system is also ideal for fast computation at reduced cost by smaller number of personal computers using gigabyte Ethernet network. The student members include Hareesh Menon, Leo John Thomas, Aneev Davis, Jugnu George, Ebin Thomas, Jeril K Cherian, and Rahul P Soman of Free Software Foundation in the college.
