As of now, C-DAC has deployed 11 such systems at institutes across India under Phase1 and 2 of the NSM with cumulative compute power of over 20 petaflops, said the ministry. Further, a total of 36,00,000 computational jobs have been successfully completed by around 3600 researchers across the nation on the NSM systems to date.
The NSM, which was announced in 2015 aims to build and deploy 24 facilities with a cumulative compute power of more than 64 Petaflops.
The supercomputer infrastructure installed at various Institutes across the country have helped the R&D community to achieve major milestones, objectives and products for scientific and societal applications. C-DAC is building an indigenous supercomputing ecosystem in a phased manner, which is leading to indigenously designed and manufactured supercomputers. It has designed and developed a compute server “Rudra” and high-speed interconnect “Trinetra” which are the major sub-assemblies required for supercomputers.
Some of the large-scale applications which are being developed under the NSM include a platform for genomics and drug discovery, urban modelling, early flood warning and prediction systems for the river basins of India and a high-performance computing software suite for seismic imaging for oil and gas exploration.
