Welcome to TU Super Computing Center
Tribhuvan University Supercomputer (also called TU-High Performance Computer (TU-HPC)) is located at the Information Technology Innovation Center (ITIC), Tribhuvan University in Kirtipur. TU-HPC is operational since January 2022, empowering researchers and students with high-performance computing for scientific discovery.
Get Started
Establishment
The Tribhuvan University (TU) Supercomputer is hosted at the Information Technology Innovation Center (ITIC), Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur. It is also called a TU-High Performance Computer (TU-HPC) operated by Dr. Madhav Prasad Ghimire (Associate Professor, Central Department of Physics, TU). With the initiation from Dr. Ghimire (Tribhuvan University) and the processing from PD Dr. Manuel Richter (IFW-Dresden), a mutual agreement was setup between Tribhuvan University and IFW-Dresden. This was followed by the signing of an equipment loan agreement on 13th May 2021 between the two parties where Prof. Dr. Binil Aryal, Dean, Institute of Science and Technology represents Tribhuvan University and Prof. Dr. Bernd Buchner (Scientific Director) and Juliane Schmidt (Commercial Director) represents IFW-Dresden. This agreement paved the way to establish a supercomputer at Tribhuvan University. Following this, the equipment was received in two-month in the university.
