RIIndia has launched its most advanced Made-in-India supercomputer, named Param Shakti, at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, marking a significant step in strengthening the country’s high-performance computing ecosystem for research and innovation.
Param Shakti is built entirely in India using the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing’s (C-DAC) indigenous RUDRA series of servers and runs on open-source software, including AlmaLinux and a domestically developed system software stack, underscoring India’s push for technological self-reliance under Atmanirbhar Bharat.
The supercomputer delivers a peak performance of 3.1 petaflops, meaning it can process over 3.1 quadrillion calculations per second, and is equipped with advanced power, cooling and data-centre infrastructure to support continuous high-performance workloads.
This powerful system is expected to significantly accelerate cutting-edge research across a wide range of fields — from aerospace engineering and materials science to climate modelling, drug discovery and advanced manufacturing.
