Description
- IPM HPC center is proud to offer various services; the most important being a user-friendly and easy-to-use portal to our own HPC cluster (supercomputer). Other services include an events portal, our website and ….
- Most of these services are a few years old now and were designed with software engineering principles of the time. To improve our quality of service we aim to re-architect our services. Our services’ distributed and modular nature and the lack of need for exceptionally low latencies make them perfect candidates for microservices design patterns.
- Currently few of our services are hosted on a Kubernetes cluster, our goal is to use this cluster to host the rest of our services as well. To take full advantage of Kubernetes it is necessary to re-architect our services as described above.
- As of last year, the IPM HPC center offers self-hosted HPC portal services to other universities and research centers, therefore low effort redeployment of the system is another goal of this project.
Requirements:
Basic knowledge of Web Programming
Basic knowledge of Java
Additional Requirements:
Basic knowledge of database operations
Basic knowledge of application deployment

Description
Most academic documents are written using LaTeX. Since the syntax isn’t easy to remember and it’s hard to visualize the result in real-time, LaTeX editors become very practical tools. The ability to share documents and edit them in real-time is another important requirement for many individuals. Online LaTeX editors are an answer to this need. The most famous one of these editors is Overleaf. Due to sanctions and concerns of some researchers, it’s hard to access overhead and even harder to purchase premium features.
The goal of this project is to provide a service as such, we will modify the open-source version of OverLeaf and add the necessary features to provide it as a service.
To assure the quality of a service it is also important to find a good model of deployment and storage for this application. Towards this goal, we aim to deploy the application on a hibernated cluster.

Description:
The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing, an open-source middleware system, supports volunteer and grid computing. Originally developed to support the SETI@home project, it became generalized as a platform for other distributed applications in areas as diverse as mathematics, linguistics, medicine, molecular biology, climatology, environmental science, and astrophysics, among others. BOINC aims to enable researchers to tap into the enormous processing resources of multiple personal computers around the world
Our purpose is to understand the mechanism of this framework and setup the server side and run our tasks on this framework. This project is high potential for a lot of ideas and makes a great tool too. It should be mentioned that the agent user-side application of BOINC is a cross-platform application that can run on Android phones.

Description:
Hardware accelerators can be designed for a variety of tasks, such as graphics processing, ML, cryptography, and signal processing. The design of a hardware accelerator typically involves selecting and optimizing the appropriate hardware components and developing algorithms and software that can efficiently utilize these components.
Hardware accelerator design is becoming increasingly important as the demand for high-performance computing continues to grow, particularly in areas such as artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and scientific research. By designing specialized hardware components that can handle specific tasks more efficiently than a general-purpose CPU, hardware accelerator design can significantly improve the performance and energy efficiency of computing systems.

Computer arithmetic is the field of study that deals with the design and analysis of algorithms and hardware for performing arithmetic operations in digital computers. It involves the development of algorithms and techniques for performing basic arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and other more complex operations such as exponentiation, logarithms, and trigonometric functions.
Computer arithmetic is essential in many fields of computing, such as scientific computing, engineering, finance, and cryptography. It is also a fundamental component of many computer hardware design and implementation tasks, including the design of arithmetic logic units (ALUs), floating-point units (FPUs), and digital signal processors (DSPs).
Prerequisites:

Python Programming
Description:
Neural network acceleration using GPUs is a process of utilizing the computational power of GPUs to perform the matrix multiplication and other operations required for training and running a neural network. GPUs are suitable for these tasks because they have many cores that can perform calculations in parallel, allowing them to process large amounts of data quickly. By offloading the compute-intensive tasks from the CPU to the GPU, significant speedups can be achieved, reducing training and inference times by orders of magnitude. This technique allows researchers and practitioners to train and deploy more complex models more quickly, which can lead to advances in fields such as computer vision, natural language processing, and robotics.
Specialized software libraries such as CUDA or OpenCL are used to write code that can be executed on the GPU. Input data is loaded onto the GPU memory, and the neural network model parameters are also transferred to the GPU memory. The GPU performs matrix multiplication operations between the input data and model parameters, which are then used to calculate the output values of the neural network. Specialized hardware accelerators such as TPUs and FPGAs are also available for neural network acceleration, but they require specialized hardware and software expertise to use effectively.
