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.
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]
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".
Share of processor families in TOP500 supercomputers by year [needs update]. As of June 2022, all supercomputers on TOP500 are 64-bit supercomputers, mostly based on CPUs with the x86-64 instruction set architecture, 384 of which are Intel EMT64-based and 101 of which are AMD AMD64-based, with the latter including the top eight supercomputers. 15 other supercomputers are all based on RISC ...
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 ...
The U.S. supercomputer Frontier was crowned the world’s speediest this year, but some computer scientists say China‘s Tianhe-3 may be as fast. WSJ unpacks the tech and design of the machines ...
HPE Frontier at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility is the world's first exascale supercomputer. Exascale computing refers to computing systems capable of calculating at least 10 18 IEEE 754 Double Precision (64-bit) operations (multiplications and/or additions) per second (exa FLOPS)"; [1] it is a measure of supercomputer performance.
The Cray XC50 is a massively parallel multiprocessor supercomputer manufactured by Cray. [1] The machine can support Intel Xeon processors, as well as Cavium ThunderX2 processors, Xeon Phi processors and NVIDIA Tesla P100 GPUs. [2] The processors are connected by Cray's proprietary "Aries" interconnect, in a dragonfly network topology. [1]
