How an insulted third world country snubbed USA by making a supercomputer that stole their business.

[jamahir]

Not wishing to take the shine from CDAC and Tata ( the makers of PARAM and EKA supercomputers, respectively ) but the microprocessors were of British and American design and manufacture, and the buses, memory and other elements were of commercial specification.

This is simple backdoor diplomacy - disallow high-profile transfers of the full Cray supercomputers but allow individual component-level commercial purchase.

Even the Chinese cannot claim any innovation for their supercomputer program.

LOL - where did the processors come from?

If they were designed and fabricated in India then this is something to talk about. If not then time to move on.

You are correct actually. That is my point above.

 

[jamahir]

The only thing right in the title is '3rd world country'

Pakistan is hardly the ideal socialist paradise.

 

[Trango Towers]

By the way when indians are landing on Mars?

They have been there done that....wrote it in the annuals of Hindu might. Now moving on swiftly

SUPARCO got these for your nation.

With no contribution to the public.

Nice painting bro

Even I can build a computer at home. Not a big deal.

Wake me up when India is capable of building an IC chip.

Yes PARAM 8000 was designed and fabricated in India .That basic aspect why it was recognized as Indian super computer .

For ridiculous argument , india didn't make every processor and memory chips inside PARAM8000 , just remember ever CRAY doesn't make processors it uses in its super computers , neither the Chinese made super computers which are currently fastest .

PARAM8000
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PARAM

After being denied Cray supercomputers., India has started a program to develop indigenous supercomputers and supercomputing technologies..hese supercomputers were also capable of assisting in the development of Nuclear Weapons..For the purpose of achieving self-sufficiency in the field, the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) was set up in 1988 by the then Department of Electronics with Dr. Vijay Bhatkar as its Director.. The project was given an initial run of 3 years and an initial funding of ₹ 300,000,000, the same amount of money and time that was usually expended to purchase a supercomputer from the US..In 1990, a prototype was produced and was benchmarked at the 1990 Zurich Supercomputering Show. It surpassed most other systems, placing India second after US..

The final result of the effort was the PARAM 8000, which was installed in 1991

Wake me up when India is capable of building an IC chip.

you can even build atom bomb at home if they give a bag of Uranium .

 

[takeiteasy]

The focus should be on improving Electronics manufacturing specially complex microprocessor architectures. Coding prowess is secondary.

I can name the Chinese and North Korean original of each them .

Thats the point. All this is propaganda is useless.

Chinese & Taiwanese fabricate & build IC Chips. Koreans build the best OLED screens. What can Indians build? Nothing Nada zero.

Assembling some thing is not great skill. Even a toddler could assemble homes using his legos.

 

[cloud4000]

This all happened during the 1980s when India was clearly in the Soviet Union camp. Why would US give India its best supercomputers?

 

[Imran Khan]

do not insult yourself man

Are you slow or what ??

India managed to build super computer in 1991 to aid in research and development in various scientific project whose computing power and speed measured up to CRAY super computers of the time.

And what you are crowing about are Chinese & Taiwanese commercial Chips making companies of 2010s . If indian compamy invests $5B or more , it too would have an IC chip making facility in india .

All ifs and buts.. Nothing but excuses to cover the great failures.

True, It's only purpose is to serve India with mushrooms.

Hope you like them.

I hate Mushrooms.

And honestly, that image is interesting, adding some creativity.

Anyway, you take care. Not interested in nuclear winter in South Asia.
