 PARAM Anant
• PARAM Anant is a low-cost
supercomputing solution based on C-
DAC's unique OpenFrame architecture
for scalable and high-performance
computing that incorporates well-known
Cluster of Workstations (COW) and
Massively Parallel Processing (MPP)
concepts.
• The entire system including the
compute nodes, network elements
and the system software are
upgradeable at the system,
component and technology levels
to suit the needs of the users.
• With PARAM Anant,
supercomputing is now accessible
to the education, research and
business communities at an
affordable cost. Mera Bharat Mahan 2
 India's Hi-Tech expertise
• The restrictions imposed by the United
States of America on the transfer of know-
how in frontier areas of Technology
• It was again the refusal of the U.S.
administration to clear the shipment to
India of a Cray X-MP super computer.
• India to build one of the most powerful
super computers in the world.

 India's Hi-Tech expertise
• In fact, the unveiling of the "PARAM-
10,000" super-computer, capable of
performing one trillion mathematical
calculations per second, stands out as
a shining example of how 'restrictions
and denials' could be turned into
impressive scientific gains.

 India's Hi-Tech expertise
• In fact, the "PARAM-10,000", based
on an open-frame architecture, is
considered to be the most powerful
super-computer in Asia, outside
Japan. So far, only U.S.A. and Japan
have built up a proven capability to
build similar types of super-
computers.

 India's Hi-Tech expertise
• For the Pune-based Centre for
Development of Advanced Computing
(C-DAC), which built this super-
computing machine, it was a dream
come true

 India's Hi-Tech expertise
• To be sure, Europe is yet to build its
own super-computer in this category.
• As it is, "PARAM-10,000", has
catapulted India into the ranks of the
elite nations that, already, are in the
rarefied world of tera flop computing
which implies a capability to perform
one trillion calculations per second
