Top Supercomputers that India Uses.
                     TOP SUPERCOMPUTERS 
THAT INDIA USES
Supercomputing in India
• In the late 1980s, India began its supercomputer 
programme with the help of some of the best technicians 
at the Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT). 
Some of the supercomputers used in India are listed.
Colour Boson (Cray XC-30)
• This supercomputer is used at the TIFR in Mumbai. With 
a total storage of 1.1 PB, it is being used for research on 
quark-boson, which is one of the mystery particles related 
to formation of the world.
HPC
• HPC is a supercomputer used at IIT Delhi. It is a GPU-
centric high performance system developed by NVIDIA 
along with a team of IIT Delhi based on GPU Tesla 
platform. 
PARAM Ishan
• This is another powerful supercomputer located at IIT 
Guwahati. It was jointly created by IIT-G and CDAC. It is 
being used for R&D in computational chemistry, fluid 
dynamics and much more.
PARAM Kanchenjunga
• Another supercomputer in the PARAM series, this 
supercomputer was built by Pune-based CDAC and the 
Ministry of Communications & IT, at NIT Sikkim. It has the 
latest Intel processors and accelerator technologies.
PARAM Shivay
• This supercomputer was inaugurated in 2019 at the IIT-
BHU, Varanasi and is equipped with the latest Intel 
processors, high memory computer nodes and great 
performance. 
PARAM Yuva II
• PARAM Yuva II is another supercomputer which was built 
to carry out research in space, seismic data analysis, 
aeronautics, pharmaceuticals and bioinformatics.
Virgo
• Virgo was built for IIT Madras which is claimed to be the 
fastest cluster at an educational institute in India. It is 
being used for research in ocean modeling, VLSI, 
spectroscopy and much more.
Sahasrat
• This is a Cray XC40 model supercomputer at the 
Supercomputer Education and Research Centre (SERC) 
at the Indian Institute of Science. The total cost for 
building it was around Rs 82 crores.
