[Solved] Which of the following is India's fastest and first mult? ›

The correct answer is the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune. Pratyush is India's fastest and first multi-petaflops (PF) supercomputer unveiled at the Pune-based Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM).

As of June 2023, the AIRAWAT supercomputer is the fastest supercomputer in India, having been ranked 75th fastest in the world in the TOP500 supercomputer list. AIRAWAT has been installed at the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) in Pune.

It has the array of computers which can deliver a peak power of 6.8 petaflops. Petaflops is a Unit of computers Computing Speed.

The correct answer is PARAM Siddhi-AI.

The latest supercomputer at IITM,Pune “Pratyush” is a Cray-XC40 LC [Liquid Cooled] System with 3315 nodes running Intel Xeon Broadwell E5-2695 processors with a peak performance of 4,006 TFLOPS and a total system memory of 414TB.

The PARAM 8000 was the first machine in the series and was built from scratch. Vijay P. Bhatkar is best known as the architect of India's national initiative in supercomputing where he led the development of Param supercomputers. He developed the first Indian supercomputer, the PARAM 8000, in 1991.

It was named as TIFRAC (Tata Institute of Fundamental Research Automatic Calculator) by former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. On 21st January 1969, the first electronic digital computer built in India was commissioned at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) by Vikram Sarabhai.

Pratyush is India's fastest and first multi-petaflops (PF) supercomputer unveiled at the Pune-based Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM).

As of May 2022, the fastest supercomputer on the TOP500 supercomputer list is Frontier, in the US, with a LINPACK benchmark score of 1.102 ExaFlop/s, followed by Fugaku. The US has five of the top 10; China has two; Japan, Finland, and France have one each.

Which is the first fastest supercomputer? ›

The correct answer is Frontier. Frontier, a supercomputer built by the USA, outperformed Japan's Fugaku to become the world's fastest supercomputer. Frontier is built for the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and it has reached Linmark benchmark score of 1.1 exaflops.

Supercomputer Developed by Indian Scientists

The chief software developer behind Param was Vijay Pandurang Bhatkar, who developed the first Indian supercomputer, the PARAM 8000, back in 1998. He even built the NPSF or National Param Supercomputing Facility after the PARAM series.

Pratyush and Mihir are two High Performance Computing (HPC) units. They are located at two government institutes, one being 4.0 PetaFlops unit at IITM, Pune and another 2.8 PetaFlops unit at the National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (NCMRWF), Noida. They provide a combined output of 6.8 PetaFlops.

As of December 2023, Frontier is the world's fastest supercomputer. It is based on the Cray EX and is the successor to Summit (OLCF-4). Frontier achieved an Rmax of 1.102 exaFLOPS, which is 1.102 quintillion floating-point operations per second, using AMD CPUs and GPUs.

Param Siddhi is a High Performance Computing-Artificial Intelligence (HPC-AI) supercomputer developed by Department of Science and Technology (DST) under National Supercomputing Mission (NSM) at Centre for Development of Advanced Computing. The supercomputer has Rpeak of 5.267 Petaflops and 4.6 Petaflops Rmax.

Size-wise, an average Human Brain is 1.3 liters in volume, while supercomputers are in the tenths of million liters. Finally, the top 100 most powerful supercomputers have a combined processing power of about 8 Exaflops, equivalent to about eight Human Brains. There's another 8 billion Brains in the world!
