India’s fastest supercomputer ‘Pratyush’ established at Pune’s IITM

[sinait]

There is this comment on Indian media.

@Anonymous: Chips are from Intel, router terminals are from Cisco, Juniper. casing is from china.. welcome to made in India.

It's not even about the delay, which we know is a norm in India, there is no way India can come up with this 132.8 exaflops supercomputer by 2020, and it doesn't matter how confident you are.

The real problem is why in the world so many of your countrymen would even believe the "super-supercomputer by 2017" story? Are you guys really this ignorant?

If a Swamiji can become a Chief Minister. I am not surprised at their ignorance.

He's made the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh by the BJP.

India’s supercomputing prowess moved up several notches Monday after it unveiled Pratyush, an array of computers that can deliver a peak power of 6.8 petaflops. One petaflop is a million billion floating point operations per second and is a reflection of the computing capacity of a system.

The machines will be installed at two government institutes: 4.0 petaflops HPC facility at IITM, Pune; and 2.8 petaflops facility at the National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecast, Noida.
So much for its 6.8 petaflops.
Its really a 4.0 petaflops machine after all.
Indian Supa Powa Twisting and Fabricating.
.
I got this from Youtube.
The latest supercomputer at IITM,Pune “Pratyush” is a Cray-XC40 LC [Liquid Cooled] System with 3312 nodes running Intel Xeon Broadwell E5-2695 processors with a peak performance of 4,006 TFLOPS and a total system memory of 414TB. The system is composed of 18 Compute cabinets and uses Cray’s Aries.

So what happens? They lose electricity for a whole week?

 

[Android18]

its ranking will be in 30s
its india's fastest and not the world 's by any stretch of imagination
it will be used for the monsoon model prediction

It would be on 22 spot as per latest 500 rankings. If it was listed. But it may fall in top 10 when you are talking about HPC's dedicated for weather forecasting.

Wonder why India only bought the Pratyush (AKA Cray XC40) 4.0 petaflops and NOT 6.8 petaflops.
Should have bought the Cray XC50 and earn a respectable joint No 3 rank on the Top 500 2017 November.
Pratyush++ Supa Computa.

So its as per normal, Assembled in India.

[Trango Towers]

Indians should stick with warp drive since vedic times. Those stuff are unprovable. With their debating skills, they can convince the world that Mr Spock studied at Nalanda university and learned warp drive from an Indian guru.

What he didn't.....oh man.

So India just assemble a computer based on specification and call it made in India.

Simpler than that, Cray XC40 comes in cabinets, just add them together to increase throughput and petaflops.
Cray XC40 are modular by the cabinet.
Pratyush have I guess around 18 XC40 cabinets joined by superfast networking to achieve 4.0 petaflops.
Just add more cabinets to increase petaflops.
I think maybe no need for screw driver.

Are you claiming the top supercomputers in China are made in China?

One thread they boast about their own supercomputers (intel cpu, and US made graphics cards). In other thread they mock Indian supercomputers for using the US made components.

There is a big difference between using some or all US components and buying Cray XC40 supercomputer off the shelf. Only customization being how many cabinets of Cray XC40 compute nodes required and connected through Cray made Aries networking interconnects.

In the past, the Chinese did build, yes build, their supercomputers with some or all US components but increasingly now using 100% indigenous parts. Cray XC40 is off the shelf supercomputer.

http://pratyush.tropmet.res.in/iitm/compute-info/
PRATYUSH is running on 3315 Intel Xeon Broadwell E5-2695 v4 2.1GHz 18C CPU on its login and compute nodes. It has 2 CPUs per node with a total of 36 cores per node. Each compute node contains 128GB DDR4 .

The system has 16 accelerator nodes powered with Intel KNL 7210 processors , 96 GB DDR4 per node with a total Peak Performance of 42.56 TFLOPS.

XC40 compute nodes are connected using Cray Aries Network On Chip. The four nodes in a blade communicates through the Aries Chip.

Sixteen blade in a chassis are connected through the Aries chip onto a backplane. Each Cabinet consists of three chassis and two cabinets forms a group. All six chassis in a group are connected in all-to-all manner using electrical cables with data transfer rate of 14Gbps. All four groups of the Cray system are connected using optical cables with a data transfer of 12.5 Gbps.

The system runs Cray Linux Environment(CLE) which is Cray’s customised version of the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12.2

CLE consists of two components: CLE and Compute Node Linux (CNL). The service nodes, external login nodes, and post-processing nodes of Cray XC40 run a full-featured version of Linux.

Edit:
Btw I am not claiming anything for China, just stating the facts.
If you read my past post, its rare I ever claimed anything for China, only for Singapore.
I do look out for Indian braggarts though, which don't include you.
Article did not claim its made in India, only insinuated by Indian fanboys, but did give misleading power of 6.8 petaflops for 2 machines, instead of just 4.0 petaflops for the more powerful m/c.
The XC40 can easily exceed these values by adding more compute nodes, i.e more $$.

6.8 petaflops, worlds fourth fastest

Either u are a dumbass rss or a shameless rss member to believe and spit this kind of lie and shit

Are you dumb or you knowingly sounding stupid...I said 4 the fastest weather forecasting super computer of world...

 

[Chinese-Dragon]

Yes, the number 1 fastest supercomputer in the world uses Chinese domestic ShenWei microprocessors.

But you knew that, right? And those Chinese smartphones which are utterly dominating the Indian smartphone market, take a look inside and see where their Kirin microprocessors came from?

You might as well say its the fastest supercomputer of the world for counting shitholes.
Of course it will be the only one in the world doing that.
Indians don't understand why people get turned off when they resort to antics to brag about their achievement where there is nothing to be proud of.
For example why try to mislead by saying its 6.8 petaflops when its only 4 petaflops.
The XC40 can easily do 14 petaflops by adding more compute notes and accelerators.

Not mention India RSS and their media brag about 132 Exa flop by 2017

they basically are a joke
