In TOP 500 list of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, China’s Tianhe-2 supercomputer or Milky Way 2 has maintained its position as the world’s most powerful system for the sixth consecutive time.
Features of Tianhe -2
Titan, a Cray XK7 system installed at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory and previously the No. 1 system, is now ranked No. 2. Titan achieved 17.59 petaflop/s on the Linpack benchmark. (Linpack benchmark: It is a yardstick to measure the performance of supercomputer. This focus on linear equation solving power of supercomputer)
India’s Supercomputers in List
India has made a minor improvement from nine supercomputers in the list released last year to 11 in the list. National Supercomputing Mission with an outlay of Rs.4,500 crore launched over a period of seven years. The mission aims to set up a grid connecting 70 supercomputers located in research and development institutions, universities and the 1 million core cloud using the National Knowledge Network. The mission also aims to catalyze the government’s Digital India vision by making available huge data storage space and linking systems.
Some of the institutes with supercomputers that made it to the top 500 list are the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Centre for Development of Advanced Computing, Centre for Scientific and Industrial Research and Indian Space Research Organisation.
SahasraT (SERC - Cray XC40): This is the fastest supercomputer of India. It is ranked 95th in this year’s list. Its theoretical peak is 1244.2 teraflop/s. This is developed by Indian Institute of Science.
Aaditya : Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune, has a machine with a theoretical peak of 790.7 teraflop/s, called Aaditya, which is used for climate research and operational forecasting. It ranked 118th among the world's top 500 supercomputers November 2015 list.
