India's fastest supercomputer

[jimpack]

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has just built a new supercomputer, one that is said to be the fastest in the country, with a theoretical peak performance of up to 220 TeraFLOPS.

Called SAGA-220 (Supercomputer for Aerospace with GPU Architecture-220 TeraFLOPS), the supercomputer is located in Thiruvananthapuram, at the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), which houses the Satish Dhawan Supercomputing Facility.

A GPU-based supercomputer, SAGA-220 stands for Supercomputer for Aerospace with GPU Architecture-220 TeraFLOPS. It is made up of 400 Nvidia Tesla 2070 workstation GPUs, and 400 Intel Xeon quad-core CPUs. The parts were supplied by Wipro, and utilise a high-speed interconnect between the components.

The total cost of the system was about Rs 14 crore, and, is apparently environmentally green, with a power consumption of about 150KW. According to the team at ISRO, the system is also very scalable, and can be made to achieve up to several PetaFLOPS.

The previous fastest supercomputer in India was Eka, located at the Computational Research Laboratories in Pune, and was powered by Hewlett-Packard sponsored components. It has a theoretical peak performance of 132 teraflops. The latest TOP 500 supercomputer rankings, now peg India at number 15 out of 29 countries in the list, with a combined performance of 333 TeraFLOPS

Good but india atleast needs 1 peta flops perfomance if it wants to be in the list of fastest super computers!!

 

[AhmedTauseef]

wot they going to use it for .. errrrrrrrrr

 

[terex]

used for space exploration and future manned and unmanned mission to moon and mars.its services could also be rendered to scientists working on astronomy,drdo and missiles.it is owned by indian space research organization

Sure you will need that to keep records of people sleeping on roads...
the way number is increasing evey year you will probably need a few of those.

can this computor also use...................................... for understand truth path of Almighty............................................

India actually first need atleast 1 peta raps bread for its every citizen to compete with any advance nation in the world.

India's middle class population to rise, key driver for Asia's rise by 2050

Surojit Gupta, May 5, 2011, 03.04pm IST
NEW DELHI: Nearly 70% of India's population could be middle class within 15 years if the country's economy posts sustained growth, a report by the Manila-based Asian Development has said.
These structural shifts in the pattern of global demand mean that Asia's growth can rely increasingly on the markets of developing Asia rather than those of Europe, Japan or North America, the report said.
If Asian middle class consumers can substitute for those in advanced economies, the Asian countries will become major exporters to each other, emulating Europe. European countries are significant exporters, but largely to each other, with Eurozone exports growing 4.5% a year since 20005, notwithstanding the recent recession. Similarly, all Asian countries could benefit from rapid intra-regional growth without excessive reliance on the consumer markets of Europe or North America.

India is going to develop powerful supercomputer and india has developed

SAGA-220 which is very fast supercomputer.
Now a days super computers are mostly used in business and IBM collaborates with Indian industry to make setup of super computers and mainframes in India
most technologies offer supercomputer services whole over the World.​
