 PARAM
Anant is a low-cost supercomputing solution based on C-DAC's
unique OpenFrame architecture for scalable and high-performance
computing that incorporates well-known Cluster of Workstations
(COW) and Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) concepts.
The core supercomputing technologies for the PARAM Anant
are derived from C-DAC's 100GF PARAM
10000 installed at the National
Param Supercomputing Facility located at Pune, India which
is a culmination of over 10 years of C-DAC's expertise
in the development of supercomputers for scientific
and engineering applications.
The entire system including the
compute nodes, network elements and the system software
are upgradeable at the system, component and technology
levels to suit the needs of the users.
With PARAM Anant, supercomputing
is now accessible to the education, research and business
communities at an affordable cost. The distinguishing
features of this supercomputing platform are:
-
Based on off-the-shelf
components
- Supports cluster of microprocessors
(CLUMPS), exploiting shared and distributed memory
- Uses PARAMNet as the high-bandwidth
System Area Network (SAN)
- Switch architecture supports scalability
through multistage networks
- MPI layered over active messages to
exploit the low latency and high bandwidth of SAN
- C-DAC's HPCC software suite for program
development, system management and software engineering
- Wide range of applications/kernels
