In addition to various Indian supercomputers that are already in existence, a new made-in-India Petascale Supercomputer facility has been established at India’s IIT Roorkee. This initiative aims to boost the user community and bring the power of a supercomputer into the hands of engineers and researchers.
Called Param Ganga, the Petascale Supercomputer has been developed under India’s National Supercomputing Mission (NSM) and deployed by the Center for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC).
“IIT Roorkee will carry out advanced research and capacity building using this supercomputing infrastructure developed under NSM. I am happy to see that the critical components of PARAM Ganga, such as motherboards for compute nodes and direct contact liquid cooling data centers, are manufactured in India as per the Government of India initiative of Atmanirbhar Bharat,” said B.V.R Mohan Reddy, the Chairman of the Board of Governors at IIT Roorkee.
