India has now official broke into top ten super computers in the world. For the first time ever, India placed a system in the Top 10. The Computational Research Laboratories, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Sons Ltd. in Pune, India, installed a Hewlett-Packard Cluster Platform 3000 BL460c system. They integrated this system with their own innovative routing technology and achieved 117.9 TFlop/s performance. The twice-yearly TOP500 list of the world's fastest supercomputers, already a closely watched event in the world of high performance computing, is expected to become an even hotter topic of discussion as the latest list shows five new entrants in the Top 10, which includes sites in the United States, Germany, India and Sweden. Fastest Computers 1. USA - BlueGene/L - eServer Blue Gene Solution 2. Germany - JUGENE - Blue Gene/P Solution 3. USA - SGI Altix ICE 8200, Xeon quad core 3.0 GHz 4.

1. India unleashes
4th fastest super
computer.

2. Supercomputing in India
•India's supercomputer program was started in
late 1980s
•Because Cray supercomputers were denied for
import due to an arms embargo imposed on
India,
•As it was a dual use technology and could be
used for developing nuclear weapons.

3. •PARAM 8000 is considered India's
first supercomputer.
•It was indigenously built
in 1990 by Centre for
Development
of Advanced Computing
•And was replicated and installed
at ICAD Moscow in 1991
under Russian collaboration.

7. India unleashes 4th fastest super computer
India has now official broke into top ten
super computers in the world.
For the first time ever, India placed a system
in the Top 10. The Computational Research
Laboratories, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Tata Sons Ltd. in Pune, India, installed a
Hewlett-Packard Cluster Platform 3000
BL460c system. They integrated this system
with their own innovative routing technology
and achieved 117.9 TFlop/s performance.

8. The twice-yearly TOP500 list of the
world's fastest supercomputers, already
a closely watched event in the world of
high performance computing, is
expected to become an even hotter
topic of discussion as the latest list
shows five new entrants in the Top 10,
which includes sites in the United
States, Germany, India and Sweden.

Science(IISc), Bangalore. Additionally, It was later
revealed than India plans to develop a
supercomputer with processing power in the
exaflop range.
•It will be developed by C-DAC within the
subsequent 5 years of approval.

31. •Additionally, it was later revealed that India
plans to develop a supercomputer with
processing power in the exaflop range.
• It will be developed by C-DAC within the
subsequent 5 years of approval.

32. •According to the approved plan of the
Indian Government, a supercomputer grid
will be set up across India’s top educational
and research institutions, consisting of
•more than 70 supercomputers. Of the 70
planned machines, around 20 will be in the
range of 10 petaflops, several others will be
in the 100-500 teraflops range
