A new supercomputer "PARAM Ganga" with a supercomputing capacity of 1.66 PFLOPS ((Peta Floating-Point Operations Per Second) has been deployed at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee under the National Supercomputing Mission (NSM) to accelerate research and development in multidisciplinary domains of science and engineering.
It is a joint venture of the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).
National Supercomputing Mission was launched in India in 2015 with an objective to establish state-of-the-art facilities to foster advanced research in compute power hungry areas. Under this mission, IIT Roorkee and C-DAC have joined hands to make PARAM Ganga possible. It will provide a big boost to the research activities of IIT Roorkee in many different areas.
