VISION
“Preparing IT Specialists for Industries, increasing
productivity through R & D and improving quality of life through IT:
this is our vision.
This
newsletter gives the latest activities at TIFAC-CORE in the year 2006 - 2007.
A new INTEL Multicore lab under the INTEL
partnership for encouraging the faculty to do multicore programming work has
been established. Multi-core architectures (also known as
chip-multiprocessors) are becoming main stream processors on the servers,
desktops, and even embedded systems. Students are to be exposed to these
architectures, programming methodology, tools, and optimization techniques.
Intel is supporting in implementing innovative curriculum for parallel
architectures in general and chip-multiprocessing (CMP) in particular under the
initiative "Multi Core University Program".
Embedded system lab - project demo
An industry - relevant curriculum on Multi
Core to include topics such as Multicore programming and concepts, Introduction
to Duo Core Architecture & Intel compilers, V-Tune Basics, Intel Math Kernel
Library, Threading Concepts, programming with Open MP programming with
P-Threads, Threading Methodology etc is adopted in the formal curriculum.
Embedded systems lab is being expended to
carry out live projects from Industries with additional infrastructure such as

7.10 A for
vision ICE & V Desktop for ARM7 SBC, Keil version
2/3 software, & RTX51, ARTX kernel for ARM, Real
view software development kit for ARM.
Workstations to carry out Image processing projects
and embedded systems projects have been added.
Under Indo US
e-learning project TIFAC CORE has signed MOU with
ISRO for making available the online classes of
professors visiting from US Universities. With
high-end servers and required storage, along with
streaming audio and video, the new Sun Lab facility
once fully established will be a virtual classroom
for students. The facility has the network
storage capacity for the archives of the digital
classes planned. TIFAC CORE is adding scalable
blade servers for catering to the additional IT
demands in SASTRA.
