The High Performance Computing lab is a multidisciplinary resource that supports data and compute intensive analysis and problem solving. The lab currently has a 16 CPU Linux cluster made up of dual-Xeon compute nodes interconnected by a gigabit switched network and 2 Terabyte of storage. Scalable Rocks Cluster Distribution is installed on the cluster providing compilers, libraries, and other software for high performance computing. Presently, the lab is supporting coursework and research in the areas of parallel algorithms for data mining, efficient message passing protocols, and hardware/software performance benchmarking.

For more information regarding the activities at the Data Mining and High-performance Computing Lab, please contact Dr. Asim Karim (akarim AT lums DOT edu DOT pk), Dr Shahid Masud (smasud AT lums DOT edu DOT pk), or Humaira Kamal (humairak AT lums DOT edu DOT pk).
