The University of Pune has signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Silicon Graphics Inc. (SGI) for setting up a
high-per-formance computing facility at the university’s proposed center for
modeling and simulation.
The center will train students in the high-performance
computing and serve as basic research facility, with emphasis on modeling and
simulation.
As part of the MoU, the university will acquire from SGI a
high performance computing system. The SGI, as part of the agreement, will also
sponsor a professional chair at the uni-versity, besides establishing a
fellowship fund for two res-earch fellows.
