The Indian government has approved a seven-year supercomputing program worth $730 million (http://*********************/forum/images/smilies/rupee2.png 4,500-crore) intended to restore the nation’s status as a world-class computing power.

The prime mandate of the National Supercomputing Mission, first revealed last October, is the construction of a vast supercomputing grid connecting academic and R&D institutions and select departments and ministries. The National Supercomputing grid will be comprised of more than 70 geographically-distributed high-performance computing centers linked over a high-speed network, the National Knowledge Network (NKN).

According to an official press statement from India’s Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, the mission involves both capacity and capability machines. Earlier reports stated that the first order of business would be raising India’s supercomputing ranking by standing up three petascale supercomputers, some 40-times faster than the country’s current fastest.

Once title-holder to the world’s fourth-fastest supercomputer (“Eka”) in 2007, India has not kept up its supercomputing investment. Its current top system, a 719-teraflops IBM/Lenovo iDataPlex installed at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, has slid from 36th to 71st position since it making its TOP500 debut in 2013. And the nation’s second-fastest number-cruncher, the 388-teraflops PARAM Yuva II, has gone from 131 to 69 in the same timeframe.

The nation’s first petascale systems would “boost high-performance computing for India several fold,” according to K VijayRaghavan, secretary, science and technology department. The large-scale cyberinfrastructure will support applications of national relevance, including grand challenge problems, advanced research and development and home-grown Indian technologies.

“The Mission implementation would bring supercomputing within the reach of the large Scientific & Technology community in the country,” remarked the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs. “Currently, in the top Supercomputing machines in the world, a major share is taken from advanced countries such as the US, Japan, China and the European Union (EU). The mission envisages India to be in the select league of such nations. To provide continuity in maintaining a lead in supercomputing, the Mission also includes advanced R&D. This will create requisite expertise to build state-of-the-art next generation supercomputing. The Mission supports the government’s vision of “Digital India” and “Make in India” initiatives.”

The program will be jointly managed by the Department of Science and Technology and Department of Electronics and Information Technology and implemented through two of India’s primary science organizations: the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore.
 
All this is irrelevant.

What has Modi done for the Minorities ? What has Modi done to ensure the christian are not scared and do not wet their pants ?
 
@jamahir again i invite you here to burst the bubble :coffee:

thank you.

these institutions like cdac, iis, iit, iiit, drdo etc should rather be designing microprocessor and operating system than be putting together a room full of western computers and giving them sanskrit names.

supercomputers are a obsolete way of computing but which in modern times have become a means of nationalistic self-glorification among china, india and usa.

if the method of computing ( problem construction, os design, processor design, language etc ) are radically simplified, it wouldn't really need a room-full of computers... i myself have been working on processor design which is innovative and much simplified... sophistication is simplification and not over-complication.

what became of drdo's announcement in 2010 about them writing a "hack-proof, crash-proof" operating system?? what became of the "india microprocessor program" announced by the min. of info. tech in 2009?? until 2011, every year 300,000 computer science "graduates" came out of indian colleges... and computing has been there in india for about 40 years... yet no processor and operating system... shameful... as long as india follows the indian way of education and research, no processor or os will come out of india... such things take a different thinking.

Are these running on Libyan socialist jamahirya OS with latest gadiffi CPU?

please read above post.

please read above post.

Please tell us more about your processor?
 
Please tell us more about your processor?

well, i have actually mentioned it quite a few times but...

it is clock-less in execution of instructions, less than 25 instructions, risc, very wide instructions ( 160 bit ), no floating point operations, asynchoronous i/o etc.

it is designed to be used within a portable computer ( also being designed ) which is universal and meant to replace desktops, servers, embedded systems, cell phone, tablet etc.

a new operating system specific to this processor and computer will be written.

a socialist processor, socialist portable computer. :enjoy:

There are various mission specific processors and micro controllers that are designed and being designed.

Regarding super computers, India needs massive computing power in the field of space, weather forecasting, Data mining etc..etc...

like i meant in my previous post, "mission specific processors and micro-controllers" are a wasteful and capitalist of thinking... they must be replaced with a single universal computing system... since a computer is a crucial subsystem in most machines, a universal computer is easily achieved.


why is "supercomputer" needed here??

weather forecasting,

this is a wasteful field, mostly like astrology.

Data mining etc..etc...

mostly used in forwarding consumerism and capitalism... if one is talking about security needs then decentralized government computer easily achieves this than having a building full of machines.

interrupts? single core?
