two-member team of the Comptroller and Auditor AGeneral (CAG) has come to Lucknow University for the academic audit of the university. LU spokesperson NK Pandey said the team would stay in the university for a week. He said this was the first time an academic audit was being car- ried out as a pilot project in the university on the direction of the Central government with the aim of seeing what improvements can be made in the area of higher edu- cation. “The team is carrying out an audit of the minutes of meetings, what the university has done to improve academics, its strengths and shortcoming and the support from the government,” Pandey said. When asked whether the CAG team members were also interacting with the students, the LU spokesperson said ‘No’. Meanwhile, the inaugural function of the workshop on high performance computation was held recently in the Physics department of Lucknow University. The chief guest was Prof Ravishankar Ramachandran from CDRI. He gave an overall view of the use of HPC and benefits in the investigation of the new smart materials and biomaterials. Prof Neeraj Mishra introduced the concepts of HPC while Prof Anil Mishra shared his experience as UDRC director. The programme was anchored by head of depart- ment, Prof Poonam Tandon, and the vote of thanks was proposed by Prof NK Pandey. The workshop covered HPC mission, services, user account, software installation and many other aspects. It was an opportunity to learn and master the basic function- ing of HPC. The HPC is the ability to process data and per- form complex calculations at high speeds. The new material search process, which is mostly exper- iment based, can be speeded up by searching new materi- als through computer simulations.    !"#$%&  %
