History

See also: Baroda Group

The university has its origins in the Baroda College, established in 1881 by Baroda State. The main building, which houses the Faculty of Arts, was designed by Robert Fellowes Chisholm in Indo-Saracenic architecture style, in a fusion of Indian and Byzantine arches and domes in brick and polychrome stone. The main dome on the convocation hall was modelled after the great dome of the Gol Gumbaz in Bijapur.

Pratap Singh Gaekwad of Baroda, the last Maharaja of the erstwhile Baroda State, founded the university in 1949 on the wishes of his grandfather, Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III, and settled the Sir Sayajirao Diamond Jubilee and Memorial Trust, which caters to the education and other needs of people of the former Baroda State.

The late A. P. J. Abdul Kalam liked to tell stories with morals. A story he was particularly fond of related to the launch of a satellite by the Indian Space Research Organization in July 1979. Kalam was in charge of the project at ISRO; and when some members expressed reservations about its readiness he overruled them and ordered it to go ahead. The launch failed; instead of going into space, the satellite plunged into the Bay of Bengal. As team leader, Kalam was humiliated by the failure, and terrified by the prospect of announcing it before the press. He was saved from embarrassment by the Chairman of ISRO, Satish Dhawan, who went himself before the television cameras to say that despite this failure he reposed complete faith in the abilities of his team, and was confident their next attempt would succeed.

The following August, Kalam and his team tried once more to launch a satellite into space. This time they succeeded. Dhawan congratulated the team, while asking Kalam to address the press conference. In telling the story in later years, during and after his term as President of India, Kalam would feelingly recall: ‘When the failure occurred, the leader owned it up. When the success came, he gave the credit to his team’.

This month, India’s scientific community is celebrating the birth centenary of Abdul Kalam’s hero. Satish Dhawan was born on 25th September 1920 in Srinagar. The son of a judge, Dhawan was raised and educated in Lahore, where he took degrees successively in physics and mathematics, in literature, and in mechanical engineering. The combination was unusual, if not unique, in the Indian context, bridging the three worlds of science, the humanities, and technology respectively. The Lahore of the 1930s and 1940s was a place which encouraged such experimentation. The city was then a great centre of culture and scholarship, a confluence of the best of the Hindu, the Islamic, the Sikh, and t

The MVAPICH2 implementations over InfiniBand, Omni-Path, iWARP and RoCE have been downloaded and used by more than 3,425 organizations (National/International Laboratories, Research centers, Industry, and Universities) worldwide (in 92 countries). As of Feb '25, more than 1,870,000 downloads have taken place from this project's site.

In addition, it is also being distributed by many network (InfiniBand, iWARP and RoCE) vendors, server vendors, Linux Distributors (RedHat and SuSE), and package installers (Spack and OpenHPC) in their software distributions

This page lists the organizations known to be using MVAPICH2 implementations. If your organization is using any of these MPI implementations and it is not listed here, please send us a note and we will be happy to add it to the list.
