====High Performance Computing (HPC) Lab====
The High Performance Computing (HPC) lab at IIIT-Bh has 12 compute nodes, 1 GPU node, 1 master node, and 1 storage array.

====CLIA Lab====
Sandhan (Indian language Search Engine) is a mission mode project funded by TDIL, Ministry of Communication & Information Technology, government of India. Its objective is to develop a search system for tourism in nine Indian languages viz., Bengali, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Punjabi, Oriya, Assamese & Gujurati. It is a consortium mode project consists of institutes like: IIT Bombay (consortium leader), AU KBC Chennai, AUCE G Chennai, CDAC Pune, CDAC Noida, DAIICT Gandhinagar, Gauhati University, IIIT Bhubaneswar, IIIT Hyderabad, IIT Kharagpur, ISI Kolkata, Jadavpur University. The Sandhan system for five Indian Languages viz: Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Tamil & Telugu is already hosted in the TDIL server for public use and other language will be hosted soon. The system will enable searching the Indian language content and thus address the gap that exists in fulfilling the information need of the huge Indian population not conversant with English - estimated at 10% of the population. The segments expected to be benefited are tourism sector, students and even business sectors.

====Virtual Instrumentation Lab====
*Real Time Speech Processing
*Real Time Image Processing
*Labview-2010,2012(Software Platform)
*Xilinx Mentor Graphics

====Mobile Computing Lab====
