PM Modi Dedicates to Nation 3 PARAM Rudra Supercomputers & High-Performance Computing System
Recording of the event in which Prime Minister Narendra Modi dedicated to the nation three PARAM Rudra Supercomputers and High-Performance Computing system. Watch it here.
Honorable Minister of State for Earth Sciences, esteemed guests, it is a great honor and pleasure for me to welcome the Prime Minister today. Under his leadership, the National Supercomputing Mission began in 2015. Initially, most parts of the supercomputers were imported, but now, due to the hard work of scientists at CDAC and other institutions, the PARAM Rudra supercomputers are designed and developed in India. Today, the Prime Minister is inaugurating the first completely indigenous supercomputer. These will be used for astronomical research at the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope in Pune, nuclear science at the Inter-University Accelerator Centre in New Delhi, and various scientific experiments at Bose Center in Kolkata. This initiative embodies the Prime Minister’s vision of ‘Make in India.’ The Earth Sciences Ministry has also established high-performance computing systems at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology in Pune and the National Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasting in Noida for weather and climate studies. I request the Prime Minister to launch the three PARAM Rudra supercomputing systems remotely. Under the Prime Minister’s leadership, the National Supercomputing Mission, executed by CDAC and IISc, is making significant strides. These supercomputers represent the pinnacle of technological innovation, pushing India towards self-reliance in high-performance computing and solving complex scientific problems. They will significantly enhance research across various fields, including agriculture, weather forecasting, and material science. The new HPC systems will provide more accurate weather forecasts, benefiting farmers and emergency services, ultimately protecting lives and supporting a resilient future.Published on: Thursday, September 26, 2024
