Campus

IIIT Hyderabad’s 66-acre campus, located on Gachibowli road (aka Old Bombay Highway) is centrally located and well connected by all means of transport. The institute is surrounded by many academic and research institutions – Hyderabad Central University, Indian School of Business (ISB), TCS-CMC, Indian Immunologicals and Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Development Banking (JNIDB), and is just minutes away from the bustling HiTech City Center and Lingampally.

On campus facilities include State Bank of India branch, ATM machine, stationary shop and canteens. The campus is efficiently guarded by 24-hour security at the hostels, main gate and all academic and administrative buildings. There’s just one entry and exit point so safety and security are never compromised. Evenings on campus are a pleasant sight with well-lit streets and common areas surrounded by mature trees and lush greenery.

Labs & Workspaces

The Institute has well-equipped, air-conditioned computer laboratories with the latest hardware and software allocated to students batch-wise. The average PC-to-student ratio is 1:2. All computers are part of an intranet (1Gbps backbone), which connects all buildings including the hostels round the clock. Researchers have 24-hour access to the computational facilities. The students administer their own computer systems. Research centers provide specialized, high-end equipment as needed in research and development projects.

New workspaces have been set up for students where they can work in a quiet space. These spaces have been designed and built with modern facilities such as ergonomic chairs and desks, discussion rooms, white boards, etc and can accommodate up to 200 students at any given time.

In addition, there are two new Teaching Labs equipped with state-of-the-art teaching aids including projectors, TV screens and theatre-style seating that can accommodate up to 100 students at any given time.

In order to deliver sustainable and reliable computing resources and services to meet research demands of IIITH’s highly computational research community, the institute has a High-Performance Computing (HPC) service that provides campus researchers with cutting-edge computing infrastructure, enabling them to address scientific, application and engineering problems and solve challenges in the areas of Computer Vision, Machine/Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing, Bioinformatics as well as investigate chemical and biological processes such as protein folding.

The HPC cluster facility, named, “Ada” after Ada Lovelace, the first ever computer programmer, consists of 92 nodes, each equipped with dual Intel Xeon E5-2640 v4 processor, 128 GB RAM, four Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti / RTX 2080 Ti GPUs and two scratch disks (2 TB SATA and 960 GB SSD SATA). The cluster has a total of 3680 CPU cores, 1472512 GPU cores and 11776 GB RAM. The aggregate theoretical peak performance is 70.66 TFLOPS.

Abacus is the first HPC cluster facility of IIITH, with a total of 59 HP SL230s compute nodes. Each node is equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 processors, 48 to 96 GB RAM and 2 TB scratch disk. The nodes are interconnected through Gigabit and 4X QDR Infiniband. The cluster provides about 14 TFLOPS of peak computing power.

In this lab, students have access to state-of-the-art equipment for polymer research such as spin-coater, ultrasonicator, vacuum chamber, centrifuge, precision pipettes, microscope, magnetic stirrer, and precision weighing scale. Areas of research include fabrication of dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) for soft robotics applications, development of polymer-based conductive inks, and development of novel flexible sensor systems.

Product Labs, the market relevant product engineering arm of technology transfer office (TTO) curates and brings relevant market/business insights to the institute, defines products based on market potential, enables market/licensing readiness of Institute research and identifies “Go To Market” owner and collaborates with partnering corporates/Investors.

Embedded Systems and IoT Lab is equipped with ARM Processor kits, ATMEGA32 boards, Altera FPGA Boards, Zed boards, TI Mixed Signal System Development kit

Optical and  RF Lab consists of optical sensors, ring lasers, modulators and optical signal processing devices.

IIITH HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING (HPC) DATA CENTER

In order to deliver sustainable and reliable computing resources and services to meet research demands of IIITH’s highly computational research community, the institute has made a significant investment in developing a High-Performance Computing service. This facility will provide campus researchers with cutting-edge, state-of-the-art computing infrastructure enabling them to address scientific, application and engineering problems and solve challenges in the areas of Computer Vision, Machine/Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing, Bioinformatics as well as investigate chemical and biological processes such as protein folding.

Recently built HPC cluster facility has been named, “Ada”, after Ada Lovelace, the first ever computer programmer. Ada cluster consists of 92 nodes, each equipped with dual Intel Xeon E5-2640 v4 processor, 128 GB RAM, four Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti / RTX 2080 Ti GPUs and two scratch disks (2 TB SATA and 960 GB SSD SATA).

Library

The Library has a large collection of reference books, text books, technical reports, standards, literature books and CD-ROMS. It is managed by a fully integrated multi-user Library Management Software that automates cataloguing and circulation services  along with a Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) facility.

A digital library is also maintained to archive useful software, books and tutorials. Students can download any permitted software from this resource. Numerous textbooks and reference books are available in the digital format as well. Many lectures have also been recorded and are available online for students to use. Most courses maintain an intranet site containing lecture slides and other course material.

The library also has a new reading room and stack area-cum-reading space where students can bring their own books to study.
