Prime Minister Narendra Modi has launched three new Param Rudra Supercomputers and a High-Performance Computing (HPC) system to enhance India’s research capabilities in various fields. These supercomputers are part of the National Supercomputing Mission (NSM), which aims to make India self-reliant in supercomputing technology.
The Param Rudra supercomputers are installed in Delhi, Pune, and Kolkata, and will support research in material science, atomic physics, cosmic events, physics, cosmology, and earth sciences. With an investment of ₹130 crore, these supercomputers will play a key role in helping researchers make breakthroughs in areas like space science, climate studies, and physics.
This launch is part of a larger effort to enhance India’s technological infrastructure and scientific research. By strengthening its supercomputing capabilities, India aims to meet the growing demand for advanced technology in fields like academia, research, and industries, including startups. The National Supercomputing Mission first gained attention in 2019 with the launch of PARAM Shivay, India’s first home-built supercomputer.
The successful launch of the Param Rudra supercomputers marks a significant step towards achieving India’s goal of becoming a leader in advanced research and technology.
With Param Rudra Supercomputers and HPC system, India takes significant step towards self-reliance in computing and driving innovation in science and tech. https://t.co/ZUlM5EA3yw
