This presentation provides an overview of high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure and ecosystem development in India under the National Supercomputing Mission (NSM). NSM aims to strengthen national HPC capabilities through large-scale deployment of compute systems across academic and research institutions, development of application software for national needs, advancement of indigenous HPC technologies, and human resource capacity building. The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, are the implementing agencies.
The talk will present the current status of HPC facilities available to the research community. Under NSM, 39 large and mid-sized supercomputing systems with over 67 petaflops (PF) of compute capacity have been deployed, with nine additional systems (55+ PF) under implementation, reaching a cumulative capacity of approximately 120 PF. To continue the momentum, an NSM 2.0 is being planned to achieve exascale computing with a major focus on self-reliance in supercomputing.
