During early 1980's USA restricted the share of the knowledge about super computer this forced the INDIAN scientist to develop the indigenous super computer PARAM for the scientific purpose.
PARAM super computer was designed by the center for development of advanced computing(C-DAC) in pune,INDIA.The PARAM 10000 was the first TFLOPS computer.
The major applications of PARAM 10000 are in long-range weather forecasting, remote sensing, drug design and molecular modelling. PARAMs in the future may well be used for India's space programme. Plans to use it for oil and gas exploration are also on the line.
The PARAM is used in almost all major scientific research institutes in India. It has also been exported to countries like Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and South Korea.
Hardware Resources:
Configuration : 54 Nos. of 4-Way SMP nodes and 1 No. of 32-Way SMP node.
No. of Processors : 248 (Power 4@1GHz).
Aggregate Memory : 0.5 TeraBytes (@ 8GB per node and 64GB per large SMP node).
Internal Storage : 4.5 TeraBytes (@ 72GB per node and 576GB per large SMP node).
Operating System : AIX 5L .
Aggregate Peak Computing Power : 1005 GFs (~1 TF).
The PARAM development shows that we are not inferior to any country in the world in any fields.Proud to be INDIAN!!!
