  2. Supercomputing in India - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercomputing_in_India

    In 1987, the Indian government had requested to purchase a Cray X-MP supercomputer; this request was denied by the United States government as the machine could have a dual use in weapons development. [7] After this problem, in the same year, the Government of India decided to promote an indigenous supercomputer development programme.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratyush_and_Mihir

    Pratyush and Mihir are the supercomputers established at Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune and National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecast (NCMRWF), Noida respectively. As of January 2018, Pratyush and Mihir are the fastest supercomputer in India with a maximum speed of 6.8 PetaFlops at a total cost of INR 438.9 Crore. [2]

  4. High-performance computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-performance_computing

    High-performance computing (HPC) as a term arose after the term "supercomputing". [3] HPC is sometimes used as a synonym for supercomputing; but, in other contexts, "supercomputer" is used to refer to a more powerful subset of "high-performance computers", and the term "supercomputing" becomes a subset of "high-performance computing".

    The project was given an initial run of three years and an initial funding of ₹ 30,00,00,000, the cost of a Cray supercomputer. [7] A prototype computer was benchmarked at the 1990 Zurich Super-computing Show. It demonstrated that India had the second most powerful, publicly demonstrated, supercomputer in the world after the United States. [7 ...
