India plans fastest supercomputer by 2017

[Abingdonboy]

We are sick of hearing India will plan this and that, all the marvels that China have sucessfully done, India will plan to do. But nothing is happening despite all the Western technological, financial and moral support. India has to focus on its already success, that is be the number one Scatland, be a drug trafficking and money laundering hub, be a fully corrupt country, be a fake country of Bollywood daydreamers.

God damn it. It is utterly,uterlly despicable for attacking a nation who is trying to do better for itself and its people-is this a crime? If all people thought like you we'd still be living in effing caves. No one asked you to open this thread read the post and then spew whatever nonsense came to mind you chose to you could have had the common decency to post somthing constructive. We are always hearing from people like you-India is poor, all Indians are hungry and poverty stricken and yet whenever India does something to combat this we here from you again-India never achieves nothing, India is all talk. For a country that's never achieved anything I'd say India was doing pretty well.

Quit your whinging.

The government has drawn a blueprint for developing the next generation of supercomputers that could be 61 times faster than existing machines. Telecom and IT Minister Kapil Sibal is understood to have written to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh sharing the roadmap to develop "petaflop and exaflop range of supercomputers" at an estimated cost of Rs. 4,700 crore over 5 years.

"In his (Sibal) letter, he has said that C-DAC has developed a proposal with a roadmap to develop a petaflop and exaflop range of supercomputers in the country with an outlay of Rs. 4,700 crore," a government official said.

A petaflop is a measure of a computer s processing speed and can be expressed as a thousand trillion floating point operations per second. Exaflop is one quintillion computer operations per second. Simply put, one exaflop is thousand times faster than one petaflop.

The fastest supercomputer in the world, Sequoia, has registered a top computing speed of 16.32 petaflops which is equivalent of computing of power from over 7.8 lakhs high-end laptops put together. If the Indian government approves building exaflop supercomputers, these will be at least 61 times faster than Sequoia, officials said.

India's top supercomputer at present ranks 58th globally in terms of computing speed. Sibal has cited the past record of Center for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) which was set up in 1987 by then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi after technologically advanced nations denied supply of supercomputer to India in mid-1980s.

"The Minister has written that C-DAC developed first supercomputers in the country, the PARAM series. Presently Param Yuva with 54 teraflop computing power is serving many researchers through Garuda Computing Grid," the official said.

Sibal has proposed that Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DEITY) should be given tasks to coordinate overall supercomputing activities in the country as it has been done in the past.

The proposal made in the letter says that DEITY should be given tasks to set up a National Apex Committee to oversee the implementation of the proposed Supercomputing Mission and C-DAC should establish peta and exascale supercomputing facilities and development activities.

Are you sure you are sick of whatever our business is or are you really sick of that inferiority complex that keeps bubbling up your esophagus every time you see India do something while Pakistan can not think about even participating?

Here's a snippet, Pakistan is a part of the Golden Crescent(Google what it is), so it is your country which is all that you wish our country to be.
BTW, India is also a BRIC nation and the fastest growing nation in the world.
SO enjoy that denial, you have clearly earned it

Just allocate the budget and leave res to scientist and technologist.

Not fastest but ISRO has a project to make a computer equivalent to US ones. Government will produce 80 supercomputers by 2017.
Chip Fabrication and semiconductor plants are under construction or proposed in a number of cities.
Realizing exascale computer is far fetched but India can break into the league of leading ones, Japan, US and China, around top 50, top 20 etc..

research is on at c dac. It will be a flexible architech super computer and shall consume 1/10th of power.

Sure, but there is a pretty big difference between breaking into the Top 50 by 2017, and having the number 1 fastest supercomputer in the world by 2017.

Currently in 2016 India's best supercomputer is not ranked in the Top 100, it's number 110. Pretty big leap to get to number 1 position in the next month.

Current Indian indigenous computers range around 200 Tflops.

And under development one is petaflops. Our technology will be developed gradually but back in 2012 when this news published that India could build an exascale supercomputer in 5 years, I called it a bluff and look.

We need at least a decade to come in neck with China, US or Japan.

Currently in 2016 India's best supercomputer is not ranked in the Top 100, it's number 110. Pretty big leap to get to number 1 position in the next month.

I thought SAGA-220 was ranked 86th.

Congrats!

Where is it

Well done to India.

To be honest, I thought they were just boasting as usual, but they have really come through this time.

India plans fastest supercomputer by 2017 - Hindustan Times

laughable bullshit. India won't have the fastest computer by 2017.

Its already 2017, and India does not have the fastest supercomputer. LOL.

 

[Dungeness]

And I am proud member of the same organization who is gonna do that -> C-DAC !!

Hi, proud member of C-DAC, it is 2018 now, and where is your "World's Fastest Supercomputer"?

It will end up same as other projects Indians taken... Delayed, lost, and not up to expectations.

You knew it and we knew it, but they never seem to have a clue about themselves.

Not fastest but ISRO has a project to make a computer equivalent to US ones. Government will produce 80 supercomputers by 2017.
Chip Fabrication and semiconductor plants are under construction or proposed in a number of cities.

Wonderful News!!!

Internet has got memory, and all countries have got something called national credibility.
