The High Performance Computing (HPC) facility in India has grown from 40 TeraFlops in 2008 to 1 PetaFlops in the year 2013–14. [4] But India still remained at a lower position in terms of HPC infrastructure rankings in the world. [4] Government of India approved 400 crore Rupees in 2017 to build a supercomputer with a computing capacity of 10 ...
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.
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 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 ...
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 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]
XC40 cabinet (front) with 48 blades in groups of 16, each blade containing 4 nodes. The Cray XC40 is a massively parallel multiprocessor supercomputer manufactured by Cray.It consists of Intel Haswell Xeon processors, with optional Nvidia Tesla or Intel Xeon Phi accelerators, connected together by Cray's proprietary "Aries" interconnect, stored in air-cooled or liquid-cooled cabinets.
