Yak India's Fastest Supercomputer Pratyush Launched

The Union Minister for Science as well as Technology Harsh Vardhan today launched India's fastest as well as kickoff "multi-petaflops" supercomputer 'Pratyush' at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) inwards Pune. While inaugurating the facility, the government minister said that it would travel India's pose out ane HPC facility inwards damage of peak capacity as well as performance. After launching, he dedicated this supercomputer to the nation.

"Pratyush", pregnant the sun, tin cease deliver a peak ability of 6.8 petaflops (a stair out of a computer's processing speed). In lodge to deliver a ability peak of 6.8 petaflops, the supercomputer extracts 4 petaflops from IITM (Pune) as well as the remaining 2.8 petaflops from the National Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast (NCMRWF) situated at Noida.

Pratyush is expected to add together significantly to the nation's capacity inwards conditions forecasting as well as climate monitoring as well as takes Bharat to the 4th seat - exclusively behind the UK, Japan, as well as the USA inwards damage of dedicated high powered computing resources for conditions as well as climate monitoring.

Pratyush is a utilisation of the efforts made past times Ministry of footing Sciences to grow ‘High Performance Computing’ (HPC) in the country. Presently, Bharat stands at a lower seat inwards damage of HPC infrastructure rankings inwards the world. With the introduction of Pratyush, Bharat hopes to movement from the introduce 368th seat to hit a position inwards the transcend xxx in the Top500 listing of HPC facilities inwards the world. 

With this, Bharat volition likewise travel placed at the 4th seat afterward Japan, UK, as well as USA for dedicated HPC resources for weather/climate community.
