The Parallel Distributed Systems Laboratory, located in LW-836, is
comprised of a heterogeneous computing environment which includes a Multi-Core
Cluster, Intel Xeon and Xeon Phi Coprocessors, Dozer (64 cores) and 25 Linux-based PCs and many other equipments. These systems are used
by faculty, staff and students at Department of Computer Science & Engineering for teaching and studying related courses
and for research project's lab members (refer
Eligibilty for Lab Access )

Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors have been designed by Intel Corporation as a supplement to the Intel Xeon processor family. These computing accelerators feature the MIC (Many Integrated Core) architecture, which enables fast and energy-efficient execution of High Performance Computing (HPC) applications utilizing massive thread parallelism, vector arithmetics and streamlined memory access. The term “Many Integrated Core” serves to distinguish the Intel Xeon Phi product family from the “Multi-Core” family of Intel Xeon processors.
