Metro Area Quantum Access Network

The Metro Area Quantum Access Network (MAQAN) project is a pioneering initiative by MeitY led by Prof. Anil Prabhakar at IIT Madras, C-DAC Bangalore, SETS Chennai, and ERNET Chennai, aimed at establishing a quantum-enabled communication infrastructure within metropolitan areas. Its primary objective is to develop and deploy cutting-edge quantum communication technologies to enhance data transmission and security over short distances. MAQAN seeks to leverage the principles of quantum mechanics to enable secure and efficient communication channels, particularly in densely populated urban environments.

Centre of Excellence in Quantum Technology

The project aims to develop a 4-qubit superconducting quantum processor, with nanofabrication infrastructure and electronics for control and measurement. It is a collaboration between the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), the Raman Research Institute (RRI), and the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), Bengaluru. 

Automatic Analysis of Avian Acoustics under SERB

Security in Cloud computing, has assumed utmost importance in determining the proliferation of this new business model of computing.  While the privacy and information security risks have been addressed and are well-known, the paradigm may bring other long-term risks that are neither widely recognized nor addressed.  Owing to the fine-grained hardware resource multiplexing that forms the base of any Cloud computing stack, a series of attacks that are not intuitive surface in the realm of doing business with Cloud Computing.  The project work involves analysis of some of the attacks that impede the functioning of the critical layers of the Cloud computing stack – namely the Virtualization and the Hypervisor technologies.

Smart Post Kiosk development in collaboration with India Post

The aim of this project is to build a framework to quantify and deliver Quality of Services(QoS) to the functionalities offered by the Grid. The goal is to ensure guaranteed delivery of the QoS parameters to the applications running on the grid infrastructure. The project also includes identification, quantification, measurement and monitoring of the QoS Parameters offered to the grid services.

Early fire detection and safe exit guidance system

The project was conceived with an aim to achieve interoperability between the European Grid for E-Science (EGEE) and the Indian Garuda grid. Interoperation at various layers of middleware – including unified Job submission, data & information access, were included as part of the project deliverables.

An additional effort was carried out to integrate the cancer Grid (caGrid) from the National Cancer Institute of the USA, and the Indian Garuda grid. The aim is to integrate the technology layers of both these grids and allow seamless provisioning of applications & data to the cancer research community in India and the United States of America.

Development of systems and solutions for smart cities using the Internet of Things

This project involved the design and development of a debugger and profiler framework for the grid infrastructure. It facilitated source level debugging of parallel processes and application threads, running on heterogeneous platforms, either individually or collectively. The profiler comprised of displaying performance characteristics of the massively parallel applications running over the grid, thereby helping the developers in fine-tuning their applications. Runtime analysis included a graphical time line display of all the parallel processes, with the corresponding communication overheads and function level break up of the application.

Advanced Research in Ubiquitous Computing

The goal of this activity was to design and implement a Service oriented framework for the Garuda grid. An exhaustive exploration was carried out to realize this, which involved detailed market surveys and studies on various components of the grid infrastructure. As a deliverable of the project, a service oriented architecture framework was proposed and implemented, comprising of a right mix of open source, proprietary and in-house developed components.

Design of an Embedded systems for Passive Optical Network design at India-based Neutrino Observatory(INO)

Garuda Sigma is a complete user friendly installation package with all the required software components to be deployed in Garuda Grid nodes. The objective of this toolkit is to setup basic infrastructure for the GARUDA Grid nodes. This Installation package provides a special and easy method for the distribution, installation and updating the required software on required computer systems/nodes.

An Embedded System for Wireless Sensor Network for soil Co2 monitoring

This project involved the porting of the DIViA – parallel Debugger with Integrated Visualizer and Analyzer, on 64 bit IBM AIX platforms. The activity comprised of replacing the underlying low level source debugger to support the newer 64 bit parallel computing architectures. Multi-thread support was introduced to the profiler, to speed up the MPI call tracing operations.
