Param Rudra can perform complex calculations and simulations at very high speed.
In a major step towards making India self-reliant in supercomputing technology, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will today hand over three indigenously developed PARAM Rudra supercomputers to the country.
Here's Your 5-Point Cheat Sheet for India's Own Supercomputer
The Param Rudra features the latest hardware and software technologies, with a large portion of its components manufactured and assembled in India.
Param Rudra can process complex calculations and simulations at very high speed. These self-developed and developed supercomputers are excellent examples of India's technological advancement.
Param Rudra is used for research in areas such as weather forecasting, climate modeling, drug discovery, materials science and artificial intelligence. These supercomputers provide researchers with the computational resources needed to tackle challenging problems and make important discoveries.
These supercomputers have been deployed in Pune, Delhi and Kolkata to facilitate cutting-edge scientific research. The Giant Metre Radio Telescope (GMRT) in Pune will use the supercomputer to study Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) and other astronomical phenomena. The Inter University Accelerator Centre (IUAC) in Delhi will enhance research in areas such as material science and atomic physics. The SN Bose Centre in Kolkata will boost cutting-edge research in areas such as physics, cosmology and earth sciences, it added.
These supercomputers are being prepared under India’s National Supercomputing Mission (NSM), which has been set up to provide the country with supercomputing infrastructure to meet the growing computational demands of academia, researchers, SMEs and startups. It is a unique attempt to augment the country’s computing power.
