NEW DELHI :
The government’s National Supercomputer Mission (NSM) has deployed a supercomputer system with 1.66 petaFLOPS (PFLOPS) of computing power at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Roorkee.
Designed, developed, and commissioned by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), the supercomputer called PARAM-Ganga has components manufactured and assembled in India, the ministry of electronics and information technology (MeitY) said. The software stack used in the system has been developed by C-DAC.
NSM is a joint mission of MeitY and the Department of Science and Technology, which aims to deploy 24 facilities with a combined computing power of more than 64 petaFLOPS. The computing power of supercomputers is measured in floating-point operations per second or FLOPS. One petaFLOP is equal to 1,000,000,000,000,000 (one quadrillion) FLOPS, or one thousand teraFLOPS.
Modern-day research need heavy simulations, requiring a lot of computing power. C-DAC has so far deployed 11 such systems at Indian Institute of Science (IISCs), IITs, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research in Pune, the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, and the National Agri-Food Biotechnology Institute.
