CUDA is a parallel programming toolkit that utilizes GPU (Graphics Programming Unit). Searching a high performance computing platform for material computational research, I stumbled upon CUDA accelerated Molecular Modelling application, and have been longing to have a taste.
Engineering Physics ITB aims to build an eco-friendly hot-spot, obviously nicknamed eco-spot..
The project is part of the HP Technology for Teaching Award. The eco-spot is powered by solar cell to provides the wireless network and electicity for 6 - 8 laptops.

Since 2005, each year I wrote research proposal for ITB. While I’m more than confident that I’m a good researcher, I failed for all the times. Here are the shameless track records …
In August 2007, Eko M. Budi, Eko Nurdiyanto, and Akmal Hamdani submitted their little program called DForge to the Ristek Telkom Award competition. They won the second prize, and some live changing moments.

While most of the people are happy enough with their brand new dual core Pentium notebooks, researchers of computational material are starving for more cores. Why ? Simply because such a fast computers by ordinary standard run their molecular dynamics simulation for at least 3 months (and that if the electricity does not cut off !). So how could they trick the situation ?
jBatik is the software for creating batik Fractal. After 3 months of development, It is ready for beta testing.

Engineering Physics Department has received the HP Technology for Teaching Award 2008. The proposed project is “Integrating HP Mobile Computing Technology for Mixed Energy Instrumentation and Control”. This is a kind of multidisciplinary project that has being a hot topic for many of EP lectures for a long time, yet it remains a dream up until now. Thanks to the grant, it will be realized soon.
