India signs local server-maker to build nodes for home-grown supercomputers
India's ambition to become self-sufficient in hardware has taken a small step forward after the nation's Centre for Development of Advanced Computing contracted a local manufacturer to build the designed-in-India servers for a future supercomputer project.it's been selected to build servers for India's PARAM supercomputers.
Sadly VVDN, CDAC and other relevant Indian government agencies have not offered any information on which PARAM rigs will use the locally manufactured servers. Two PARAM machines were inaugurated in March 2022: the 312-node, 1.67 petaflopCDAC plans to build 24 supers and has deployed 11 to date. VVDN may therefore be very busy in coming months and years.is a 1U or 2U design that can accommodate Intel's Cascade Lake Xeons, a pair of GPUs, and employ DDR4 RAM.
That's a commodity server – not a screamer that puts India or VVDN on the leading edge. Nor are the node counts involved in past Indian HPC efforts notable by global standards. The contract is therefore not likely to advance India's goal of demonstrating it can serve as an alternative source of offshore server manufacturing capacity to anyone spooked by recent supply chain hiccups caused by COVID and geopolitics.
