This implementation will enhance CML’s ability to conduct world-class research in the area of computer science and mathematics. It will TIFR has adopted the largest 64-bit Linux Itanium cluster in India for the allow CML to run various complex algorithms with up to a billion variables.

This implementation also represents a growing importance of Linux based Industry Standard Architecture clusters with High Bandwidth interconnect in High Performance Computing. The supercomputer includes 78 x 2-way Itanium nodes with a high performance Infiniband backbone.

Commenting on the partnership, Dr.Narendra Karmarkar, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research head computational mathematics laboratory, said, “These technologies will help us in our research on the fundamental problems in mathematics and optimization techniques. With the implementation of this Itanium cluster, we have reached yet another milestone in technology adoption to help “Scientific Discoveries using world-class algorithmic research in Computational Mathematics.”tie-up with a globally competentcompany like HP in providing supercomputing technology to do high end research in the field of life science and computational biology. With this association we have reached yet another milestone in technology adoption and will continue to be successful and competitive to conduct world class research.”

“We are happy to partner with TIFR—a global leader in research— to set up one of the most powerful supercomputers in India,” said Pallab Talukdar, Director, Enterprise Marketing and Alliances, HP India Sales Pvt. Ltd. “We’re confident that our technologies and this partnership with TIFR will contribute to many breakthroughs in the areas of Computer Science and Mathematics that will have tangible benefits for people both in India and around the world.”
