About US
The Supercomputing Facility for Bioinformatics & Computational Biology (SCFBio), IIT Delhi, was created in July 2002, with funding from the Department of Biotechnology, Department of Science & Technology, Council of Scientific & Industrial Research, and Indian Institute of Technology Delhi.
Under the guidance of Principal Investigator:
Prof. B. Jayaram with the vision

(i) To establish a nodal facility for supercomputing, accessible to the Bioinformatics community

(ii)To develop novel scientific methods and new software for genome analysis, ab initio protein structure prediction and active site directed drug design

The facility is working on all major aspects of Bioinformatics viz. Genome Analysis, Protein Structure Prediction and Drug design.

Infrastructure
The facility has following resources
1. 328 core AMD cluster with solarlis operating system over a Gigabit switch
2. 288 core AMD cluster on linux operating system over a infiniband switch
3. 104 Processor AMD cluster over a Gigabit switch
4. 16 node P4 processor clusters
5. Four Sun Fire V20z Server
6. Sun StorEdge 6120 Array
7. 2 X 40 KVA UPS
8. 10 Mbps dedicated internet connectivity along with 2 Mbps backup link

The aggregate compute power of the facility is over 6 Tflops and the data storage capacity is over 25 Terabytes. Facility is continuously upgrading its resources to provide better services to the people who would like to access its resources

People
The facility has several PhD students and project students/software professionals working on various projects.
Free Supercomputing Access
SCFBio is providing free compute time on the Supercomputer to the scientific community across the nation
Collaborations
Facility has various collaborations with Government, Industrial & Foreign Agencies
Other Activities
Apart from research and development activities, facility is involved in conducting workshops, seminars and providing various short term and long term training in Bioinformatics and Computational biology to students from Universities all across India.
