IISc Bangalore installs India's most powerful supercomputers
By MYBRANDBOOK
Indian Institute of Science has installed one of India’s most powerful supercomputers, Param Pravega, one of the largest supercomputers ever installed at an Indian academic institution under the National Supercomputing Mission (NSM).
Param Pravega has a total supercomputing capacity of 3.3 petaflops (1 petaflop equals a quadrillion, or 1015 operations per second) and will be used for research and educational purposes.
Param Pravega was designed by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing and most of the components used to build it have been manufactured and assembled in India using a homegrown software stack developed by C-DAC.
The Param Pravega system at IISc is a mix of diversified nodes, with Intel Xeon Cascade Lake processors for the CPU nodes and NVIDIA Tesla V100 cards on the GPU nodes. The hardware consists of an ATOS BullSequana XH2000 series system.
Faculty members and students have been using this facility to carry out research in various impactful and socially-relevant areas including research on COVID-19 and other infectious diseases, such as modelling viral entry and binding, studying interactions of proteins in bacterial and viral diseases, and designing new molecules with antibacterial and antiviral properties.
Under the NSM, 10 supercomputers have been deployed at IISc, IITs, IISER Pune, JNCASR, NABI-Mohali and C-DAC, with a total computing power of 17 petaflops. About 31,00,000 computational jobs have successfully been carried out by around 2,600 researchers across the country to date.
These systems have helped faculty members and students carry out major R&D activities, including developing platforms for genomics and drug discovery, studying urban environmental issues, establishing flood warning and prediction systems, and optimising telecom networks.
