India plans to make fastest supercomputer
To build supercomputers which will be 61 times faster than existing devices India has drawn a blueprint. The Rs 4,700 crore project of making next generation computers will be completed by 2017.
Sharing the roadmap to manufacture the proposed supercomputers Telecom and IT Minister Kapil Sibal has already sent an official statement to Manmohan Singh, the 13th and current Prime Minister of India.
“In his letter, he has said that C-DAC has developed a proposal with a road-map to develop a petaflop and exaflop range of supercomputers in the country with an outlay of Rs 4,700 crore,” said a government spokesperson.
Indian supercomputer will be 61 times faster than Sequoia, the fastest supercomputer in the world that computes with the speed of 16.32 petaflops.
“The Minister has written that C-DAC developed first supercomputers in the country, the PARAM series. Presently Param Yuva with 54 teraflop computing power is serving many researchers through Garuda Computing Grid,” added the spokesman.
