Facilities
The Department utilizes a range of up- to-date facilities and equipment for teaching and research purposes. Besides a laboratory with 40 high-end desktop PCs, there is also a High Performance Computing laboratory equipped with 200 powerful CPU- & GPU-based computer servers having 250 TFLOPS processing power and 1.5 PB storage capacity. Moreover, the NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD AI Supercomputer in the
Hong Kong campus and the Tianhe2 Supercomputer in the Guangzhou Fok Ying Tung Research Institute are also available. By making use of these powerful computing facilities, our faculty and students are able to solve computationally intensive problems in their innovative research projects so that they can stay at the forefront of their research fields.
