National Supercomputing Mission: Building India’s Self-Reliant HPC Ecosystem
DescriptionThe National Supercomputing Mission (NSM) is a Government of India initiative with an aim to promote cutting-edge research in science and technology. The main objective of the Mission is to create HPC infrastructure at various academic and research institutions in the country, develop applications for national needs, develop indigenous HPC technologies for self-reliance, and develop human resources to spearhead HPC activities in the nation. The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, are the implementation agencies of the Mission.

To date, 22 large and midsize supercomputing systems with a total compute power of 37+ PF have been created under this program. Ten more systems with a total compute power of 60+ PF are being built with indigenous technologies in the next six months, bringing the cumulative compute power capacity to 100 PF under the Mission. To continue the momentum, an NSM 2.0 proposal with exascale compute power is being worked out with a major focus on self-reliance in supercomputing.
