The Centre
for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) is engaged
in the design and development of High
Performance Computing Systems. The 100 Gflops (peak)
Parallel Computer PARAM 10000 is installed at the National
PARAM Supercomputing Facility (NPSF) at Pune and is
being used for multi-disciplinary applications.
Under the sponsorship of
the Ministry of Communications & Information Technology
and endorsement by the Ministry of Human Resources Development,
a 6.4 Gflops (peak) PARAM 10000 computing system is installed
at twelve premier
Indian Institutes.
The processing nodes of
the PARAM 10000 system at these premier institutes are UltraSPARC
II. Each premier institute has identified the projects in
the broad areas of Science and Technology to be carried
by faculty and research students of the Institutes.
C-DAC has also sponsored
projects to all the premier institutes, depending on their
domain expertise. A Review Workshop was held at C-DAC, Pune,
on July 5-6, 2001, which was attended by all the Institutes.
An expert's team and members of the Ministry of Information
Technology reviewed the projects.
C-DAC closely monitors
the operations of PARAM 10000 at these Institutes and the
progress in the projects. C-DAC also interacts with the
contact persons at the premier institutes and explores the
possibilities of having further interactions.
