What is the significance of the supercomputer 'Param'?
PARAM is a series of supercomputers designed and assembled by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) in Pune, India. The latest machine in the series is the PARAM Kanchenjunga.
PARAM Series supercomputers are used to perform a number of scientific and engineering applications. Some of their applications are:
1.Atmospheric Science: PARAM 10000 has been utilized for design and development of weather and climate monitoring. A PARAM 10000 has been installed at the National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (NCMRWF) for the purpose of weather forecasting. CDAC is developing a technology which will be ported on the PARAM series of parallel computers and will offer a solution to long range area weather modeling.
2.Seismic Data Processing: Seismic data processing means large amount of data processing. It includes modelling algorithms. These modelling and migration algorithms have been used by Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd. (ONGC), for processing oil exploration data sets.
3.Computational Fluid Dynamics: India's first supercomputer, PARAM 8000, was used for fluid mechanics and structural analysis. It was further optimized by CDAC and installed at the Institute of Computer Aided Design (ICAD), Moscow. Later versions of PARAM are used for designing new aerodynamically efficient vehicles.
4.Basic Sciences: In the field of Basic Sciences, Materials and Molecular Modelling require very high computing performance. This need is fulfilled by PARAM.
