India will produce supercomputers by 2017

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

NEW DELHI: India will get an indigenously -- builtsupercomputernext year as part of the government's Rs 4,500-crore programme aimed at taking India into an elite league of nations who have made advancements in the field.

TheCentre for Development of Advanced Computingthat built India's firstsupercomputer, Param, is handling the project, said Ashutosh Sharma, Secretary in theMinistry of Science and Technology.

This is the world's most powerful supercomputer


The government had in March last year approved the plan of theNational Supercomputing Mission, under which 80 supercomputers will be built in the next seven years. "Some of them will be imported and the rest will be built be indigenously. The first one will come up by August 2017," he said.

"We are working on how to control heat. The cost of power to run thesesupercomputersalone will be around Rs 1,000 crore," Sharma said.

The new supercomputers will be kept in different institutes across the country. "A supercomputer can be used for various purposes like climate modeling, weather forecast, discoveries of drugs among others," Sharma said.

Currently, countries like the US Japan,Chinaand the European Union account for a major share of the topsupercomputing machinesin the world.

Frankly not very optimistic about these. Chips are not built in house, architectures of the systems are mostly western and history shows timelines of producing these supercomputers are rarely adhered to. Moreover i have seen supercomputers sit idle in india in some of the IITs for the lack of proper people to operate them and projects to run.

Hopefully this renewed push in supercomputers will solve the mentioned problems.

I think this is going to be atleast 100 time faster than anything exist in world today.

I hope that it will have tremendeous defense application and we shall be able to simulate so many things for which we have to conduct actual tests today.

When these news was first posted in PDF, Some chinese member had written that a huge amount of electricity shall be needed for the computer with such computin capability. Now look 1000 Cr rs electricity is goint to be used. On other hand we will get a computing power like god. All our simulations shall be done on this computer only. A great great news. We shall be able to make complex designs and fluid dynamic studies in minites which would take months otherwise. Imagine if we can fnalize a fifth generation fighter design in six months or an ICBM design in a month???

WoW. that is great. Aprat from defense this can be used in so many constructive ways as well.

But sir, what makes you think so again? If the though process have any claims/source as a reason or is it just wishful thinking? AGAIN?

No sir ,
When this concept was conceived and fund was asked from than prime minister Manmohan singh, the article was posted here. One chinese member had calculated the huge amount of electricity it would require to prove that india may not build such a high capacity computer. Now 1000 crore rupee electricity cost confirms high computing power of this computer.

And yes, you are well comed to point out any wishful thinking when ever you find it. I promise , I will provide you a reference.

Thanks for the link and the well mannered post, i really do appreciate this.

I will wait for more news and details to come before making any claims (for Indian members) or ridiculing the project (for my fellow countrymen)

I had no idea China has the world's fastest supercomputer... Ancient Indians invented computer chips but have built few supercomputers. This is all due to Kangress traitors looting the country for 60 years.

This is the world's most powerful supercomputer
BEIJING: China's Tianhe-2 supercomputer has maintained its position as the world's most powerful system for the sixth consecutive time, according to a biannual Top500 list of supercomputers.

Tianhe-2 or Milky Way 2, with a performance of 33.86 petaflops per second (Pflop/s), was developed by China's National University of Defence Technology and deployed at the National Supercomputer Center in Guangzhou.

It has held the title since June 2013.

The Chinese system is almost twice as fast as the next on the list, Titan of the US Department of Energy, which has a performance of 17. 59 Pflop/s, official media reported.

There has been no change among the ranking of the world's top 5 supercomputers since June 2013 in the latest edition of the closely watched list.

"The top five computers are very powerful and expensive," Jack Dongarra, professor of the University of Tennessee and editor of the report, said in an email to state-run Xinhua news agency.

"It will take perhaps another year before a new system enters the top five."

Among the significant changes to this list from July 2015's list is the sharp decline in the number of systems in the US, now at 201.

"This is down from 231 in July and is the lowest number of systems installed in the US since the list was started in 1993," the report said.

In contrast, China made "a great leap" to 109 systems.

"China received a big boost from Sugon, Lenovo and Inspur," said Dongarra.

"The large number of submissions came from Sugon." According to the Top500 statement, Sugon has overtaken IBM in the system category with 49 systems, while Lenovo, which acquired IBM's x86 server business last year, has 25 systems in the list, up from just three systems on the July 2015 list.

In addition, some systems that were previously listed as IBM are now labeled as both IBM/Lenovo and Lenovo/IBM.

Inspur, the third vendor from China, now has 15 systems on the list.

"China is carving out a bigger share as a manufacturer of high performance computers with multiple Chinese manufacturers becoming more active in this field," the statement said.

Overall, HP leads the list with 156 systems followed by Cray with 69 systems and China's Sugon with 49 systems.

IBM ranks fourth with 45 systems.

Lenovo ranked sixth while Inspur ranked eighth on the list.

The Top500 list is considered one of the most authoritative rankings of the world's supercomputers.

It is compiled on the basis of the machines' performance on the Linpack benchmark by experts from the US and Germany.

And would that indigenously built super computer use indian made processor? or is that super just an assembly of imported parts. I also built my own computer at home, from bought out parts.

Yes, at that time a list of super computers was floating. It is an old news but whatever little i remember, I can recall that it was some 1.32 exa flop power of some US computer. . Ours will have some 100 times more power. This super computer shall be located all across india and will consume some hundreds of MW of power. I will post more details if I find it.

Please read here.

India’s proposed new supercomputer is set to work at 132 exaflops per second as against an 1 exaflops per second machine being built by Cray Incorporated, the iconic American computer company which has projected that its machine would be ready by 2020.


And Please read this also from above posted article of rising superpower.

The chinese super computer is of 33.86 peta flops. Ours will be 132 Exa flop.

This means that our super computer shall be 3898 times faster than the one of china.

I hope I have provided enough information from open sources.

Thanks.

Yes, congrats.
At least 100 times faster than anything existing!

I think the new PARAM chip will give Vietnam a run this year

LOL, Param chip.
