Technology, mentioned that the signing of 13 MoUs shows the speed that the mission has picked up, and it is a major boost to computing facility. \u201cIn the last 5 years, major changes took place in the mission where the emphasis was given on design and fabrication of hardware and software of the supercomputers in India. It is indeed on the lines of the clarion call of \u2018Atmanirbhar Bharat\u2019 given by\u00a0Prime Minister,\u201d\u00a0he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">\u201cSupercomputing is the key to so many areas like\u00a0Computational Biology, Molecular Dynamics, National Security, Computational Chemistry, Cyber-Physical Systems, Big Data Analytics, Government Information Systems, and so on. Armed with artificial intelligence and machine learning makes it a formidable tool. Progress in this mission will break silos to empower people and make India future-ready and tackle future challenges,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">\u201cOur goal is to develop own indigenous hardware encompassing exascale chip design, design and manufacture of exascale server boards, exascale interconnects and storage including silicon-photonics at C-DAC to achieve complete self-reliance,\u201d said Dr. Hemant Darbari, Director General, C-DAC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">Smt. Jyoti Arora, Special Secretary, and FA, MeitY and Dr. Rajendra Kumar, Additional Secretary, MeitY were also present during the MoU signing with a host of institutes like IISC Bangalore, IIT Kanpur, IIT Roorkee, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Guwahati, IIT Mandi, IIT Gandhinagar, NIT Trichy, NABI Mohali and NSM Nodal Centres for training in HPC &amp; AI at IIT Madras, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Goa, and IIT Palakkad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">The mission envisages empowering our national academic and R&amp;D institutions to spread over the country by installing a vast supercomputing grid comprising of more than 70 high-performance computing facilities. The mission also includes the development of highly professional High-Performance Computing (HPC) aware human resource for meeting the challenges of development of these applications. The mission implementation would bring supercomputing within the reach of the large scientific &amp; technology community in the country and enable the country with a capacity to solve multi-disciplinary grand challenge problems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">The mission is implemented and steered jointly by the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY) at an estimated cost of Rs.4500 crore over a period of seven years to make India one of the world leaders in Supercomputing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"panel-panel panel-col-last\">\n<div class=\"inside\">\n<div class=\"panel-pane pane-custom pane-1\">\n<div class=\"row pre_next s-pre\">\n<div class=\"col-md-2 col-sm-6 col-xs-6\">\n<div class=\"previous\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ddnews.gov.in\/sci-tech\/newly-designed-additive-molecules-may-obviate-need-long-pipelines-transporting-natural-gas\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ddnews.gov.in\/sites\/default\/files\/additive%20molecules.jpg\" alt=\"Newly designed additive molecules may obviate need for long pipelines for transporting natural gas\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"previous_title\">Newly designed additive molecules may obviate need for long pipelines for transporting natural gas<\/p>\n<p class=\"previous_link\"><strong>Previous<\/strong><br \/>\nStory<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-8 mob_hide\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row pre_next s-next\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"top_footer\">\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"menu-block-wrapper menu-block-1 menu-name-menu-footer-menu parent-mlid-0 menu-level-1\">\n<ul class=\"menu\">\n<li class=\"menu__item is-expanded first expanded menu-mlid-508 col-sm-3 col-xs-6\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MoUs with premier academic institutions to boost manufacture &amp; establishment of supercomputing infrastructure in India 13-10-2020 | 1:46 pm Share Now Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Several premier academic institutions in India will soon partner in indigenous assembling and manufacturing to establish\u00a0supercomputing infrastructure in the country and make the facilities available at an affordable [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/udaen.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15405"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/udaen.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/udaen.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/udaen.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/udaen.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15405"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/udaen.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15405\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15406,"href":"https:\/\/udaen.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15405\/revisions\/15406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/udaen.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/udaen.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/udaen.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
