PARAM ANANTA, a state-of the art Supercomputer dedicated to the nation under National Supercomputing Mission (NSM) – a joint initiative of Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) & Department of Science and Technology (DST) was commissioned at IIT Gandhinagar on 30 May 2022.
Param Anant Supercomputing Facility has been set up under Phase 2 of NSM, where most of the components used to make this system are manufactured and assembled within the country, along with an indigenous software stack developed by C-DAC With, in line with the Make in India initiative.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between IIT Gandhinagar & Center for Development in Advanced Computing (C-DAC) on 12 October 2020 to set up this 838 Teraflops supercomputing facility under National Supercomputing Mission (NSM).
The system is equipped with a mix of CPU nodes, GPU nodes, high memory nodes, high throughput storage & high performance Infiniband interconnects to meet the computing needs of various scientific & engineering applications.
