TIFR, HP partner to implement high performance computing solutions

Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) has partnered with HP to implement high performance computing
(HPC) solutions at its Computational Mathematics Laboratory (CML) in Pune. The project will feature one of the largest supercomputers in India and include the rollout of the largest Itanium Linux cluster. 

This implementation will enhance CML's ability to conduct world-class research in the area of computer science and mathematics. It will allow CML to run various complex algorithms with up to a billion variables. The supercomputer includes 78x 2-way Itanium nodes with a high performance Infiniband backbone. 

TIFR Head (CML), Dr Narendra Karmarkar 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."

"We are happy to partner with TIFR to set up one of the most powerful supercomputers in India," said HP India Sales Enterprise Marketing and Alliances Director, Pallab
Talukdar. "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," he added.
