Fastest HPC in India Param Yuva – II Customer of Mellanox

Mellanox
Technologies, Ltd announced that India’s Centre
for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) utilizes its
end-to-end FDR 56Gb/s IB solution to provide server and storage
application performance for PARAM Yuva – II, India’s fastest supercomputer.

C-DAC is the premier R&D organization of the Department of Electronics and
Information Technology (DeitY), Ministry of Communications and Information
Technology (MCIT) for carrying out R&D in IT, electronics and associated
areas.

Launched on February 8th, PARAM Yuva – II
provides more than half a petaflop of raw compute power using hybrid compute
technology with compute co-processor and hardware accelerators. C-DAC chose
Mellanox’s interconnect solution due to its performance,
scalability, low power consumption, and efficient data handling.

"C-DAC’s
HPC programs are focused towards creating an eco-system to derive full benefits
from HPC systems to address grand challenge problems and advancing fundamental
science, research and industrial competitiveness," said Dr. Pradeep
Sinha, senior director, HPC at C-DAC. "Utilizing
Mellanox FDR 56Gb/s IB interconnect solutions, the new PARAM Yuva – II cluster
can provide our users with superior application performance to further research
and development."

"Providing
India’s scientists with more computing power to conduct research will lead to
more scientific breakthroughs for the nation and the rest of the world,"
said Marc Sultzbaugh, SVP of WW sales at Mellanox. "Our FDR IB solution provides India’s
scientists with the performance, scalability and efficiency needed to meet the
requirements of research workloads and simulations today and into the future."

The cluster was built in conjunction with Netweb Technologies using
Tyrone-based servers.
