Swarajya's video: Supercomputer PARAM ANANTA With 838 TeraFlops Capacity Commissioned At IIT Gandhinagar

A state-of-the-art supercomputer, PARAM ANANTA, with 838 TeraFlops supercomputing capability has been commissioned at IIT Gandhinagar under National Supercomputing Mission (NSM) on Monday (30 May). The supercomputing facility was dedicated to the nation by Sunita Verma, Group Coordinator and Scientist 'G', Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY). PARAM ANANTA supercomputing facility is established under Phase 2 of the NSM, where in majority of the components used to build this system have been manufactured and assembled within the country, along with an indigenous software stack developed by C-DAC, in line with the Make in India initiative, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology said in a release. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between IIT Gandhinagar and Centre for Development in Advanced Computing (C-DAC) on 12 October 2020 to establish this 838 TeraFlops supercomputing facility under NSM. The system is equipped with a mix of CPU nodes, GPU nodes, High memory nodes, high throughput storage and high performance Infiniband interconnect to cater the computing needs of various scientific and engineering applications. PARAM ANANTA system is based on Direct Contact Liquid Cooling technology to obtain a high power usage effectiveness and thereby reducing the operational cost. Subscribe to Swarajya on YouTube.
