Date: – 28th February, 2016
Venue: Savitribai Phule Pune University,Pune
Participants: MCA I Year Students
National Science Day is celebrated in India on 28 February each year. Indian students present their innovative ideas in the field of science and technology on this day.
Introduction of a session:
- A visit to Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune, was arranged on the occasion of National Science Day. At SPPU, National science day is celebrated as one of the main science festivals in India every year during which students of the schools and colleges demonstrate various science projects and national and state science institutions demonstrate their latest researches. The celebration also includes public speeches, radio-TV talk shows, science movies, science exhibitions based on themes and concepts, watching the night sky, live projects, research demonstration, debates, quiz competitions, lectures, science model exhibitions and many more activities.
- At C-DAC, they showed the demonstration of PARAM Yuva – II: India's Fastest Supercomputer & explained : The working of the super computer is based on the hybrid computer technology by making use of hardware accelerators and coprocessors. The interconnection of this fastest computer is comprised of Infiniband FDR System Area Network and PARAMNet-III which is sure to offer a remarkable efficiency. The storage capacity of the system is about 200 Terabytes which enables users to store a lot of data. Even parallel computing is made possible by the inclusion of required software.
The activity was beneficial for the students as they listened to the following topics:
- Computational Genomics and proteomics: Methods to Applications
- Next Generation Sequencing: Technologies and Analysis
- Computational Drug Design and Repurposing
- BIGDATA to Knowledge
- Molecular Simulations: Biophysics to Function
Co-Ordinators : Prof.Mandeep Kaur , Prof.Madhuja Deshpande.
No. of Participants: 22 students.
