Under National Supercomputing Mission (NSM), so far, 37 supercomputers, with a combined capacity of
about 39 Petaflops (PF) have been designed, built and commissioned. These supercomputers are located in
academic institutions universities, and R&D labs across the country, the details are given in Annexure. 10
more supercomputers are presently being commissioned, including National Facility with India's largest
HPC & AI set-up with a capacity of 20 PF.
Various indigenous supercomputing sub-components, including Servers, High speed interconnect, System
Software Stack, Direct-to-Chip Liquid Cooling (DCLC) technologies have been developed for self-
reliance. With this, indigenous supercomputing ecosystem of design and manufacturing of these
components has been developed with industry partners.
These indigenous PARAM Rudra supercomputers are built using indigenous software stack and Rudra
series of servers designed, developed and manufactured in the country. These Rudra series of servers have
been designed by Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) for HPC and AI using
Processors and Accelerators from chip vendors like Intel, AMD and NVIDIA and are being manufactured
by Indian Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) vendors, M/s VVDN Technologies and M/s Kaynes
Technologies. So far, 6000 Rudra servers are deployed in PARAM Rudra Supercomputers and additional
1500 Servers are being manufactured.
In continuation of NSM, as part of NSM 2.0 roadmap is being developed for next generation
supercomputing ecosystem.
Under NSM 2.0, it is also being contemplated to develop India’s own processor/hardware with industry
partners.
