PARAM Shivay supercomputer facility of IIT BHU has helped me a lot in pursuing my research work. The molecular docking studies on the target biological macro molecules especially proteins narrow down the search for suitable ligand molecules that can interact well with the receptor and either stabilize it or modify its activity or function. Molecular dynamics simulation mimics the cell condition and thus validates the in-silico experiments. Such studies save the time, energy, and resources of the researchers for the actual wet-lab experiments. They speed up the drug discovery process and have immense application in the medical field. I am grateful to the PARAM Shivay support team for solving any issues during simulation studies. The helping desk members are always prompt in their actions.

PARAM Shivay has been of immense benefit to my PhD students and researchers in my lab. My research area is deep learning and without the access to PARAM Shivay system, many of the articles that are currently under review would not have seen the light of the day. The PARAM Shivay facility has been one of the best managed facility I have every come across. The helpdesk responds promptly to any query and provide support to the maximum extent possible. I am also grateful for the team for helping with resolving space related issues while using the facility. We owe the deepest gratitude to the entire PARAM Shivay team at CDAC Pune and IITBHU.CDAC Pune has been at the forefront of HPC in the country. They have for many years helped computational scientists all over the county in the active pursuit of research. I cannot imagine conducting high quality research on modern machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies without the activity support provided by the PARAM Shivay team. The facility is outstanding and perhaps even better than some of the commercially available resources that are super expensive! CDAC Pune should be commended for rising up to the challenge and providing a stable and economical solution. The division at Pune is in dire need of a strong support from Govt. of India, and being a regular user of their systems, I would urge for their support in the best possible way. I sincerely hope that CDAC Pune will deploy more such solutions across the country for the benefit of the larger research community.
