Reportedly NVIDIA will collaborate with Indian institute of technology, Delhi to establish a research lab to help the country reach its goal of achieving exascale computing by 2017.
The new Exascale Research Lab (ERL), co-developed by NVIDIA and IIT Delhi, will help to upgrade the country’s supercomputing infrastructure and develop an exaflop – or 1,000 petaflops – supercomputer.
“The Exascale Research Lab can potentially help India leapfrog ahead in the supercomputing world,” said Vishal Dhupar, managing director of NVIDIA India. “The lab’s high-performance, energy efficient NVIDIA GPU accelerators will enable Indian researchers to build next-generation supercomputing technologies while maximizing costs and power savings—a critical challenge to overcome for the success of any exascale initiative.”
In 2007, Eka supercomputer had become the fourth fastest supercomputer in the world. Tata group’s Computer Research Laboratories, that built the computer was acquired by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) this year.
IIT Delhi will provide the infrastructure for the Exascale Research Lab, including software and computing systems, and will maintain an active research program on exascale development and GPU computing. In addition to GPU accelerators, NVIDIA will provide access to its supercomputing and scientific application domain expertise and marketing support.
