'He was deeply committed to nurturing young talent and encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration.'
With Google announcing the milestone of Willow - a state-of-the-art quantum computing chip that can solve complex problems in under five minutes, a computation so complex it would have taken a supercomputer around 10 septillion (10^25) years to complete - tech experts believe this breakthrough could impact artificial intelligence (AI), particularly by making it more accessible to the masses. However, industry players caution that it may take several years for this innovation to become commercially viable.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said a country can aim for high achievements only if it has a big vision and asserted that technology upgradation should be to empower the poor. Speaking after launching via video link three PARAM Rudra supercomputers, developed indigenously under National Supercomputing Mission, Modi asserted that today's India is carving new opportunities in the infinite sky of possibilities. Modi said his government has taken steps to ensure research in technology benefits the common man.
US technology company NVIDIA and billionaire Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries on Friday announced a partnership to build AI supercomputers in India. "The companies will work together to build AI infrastructure that is over an order of magnitude more powerful than the fastest supercomputer in India today," the firms said in a statement. Days before the announcement, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday.
Scientists claim to have created a new optical device small enough to fit millions on a computer chip which could lead to faster, more powerful information processing and supercomputers.
Blue Gene/L, built by computer giant IBM has been named as the world's most powerful computer, after it reached a peak processing speed of 136.8 teraflops (trillion calculations per second), in testing.
A new Chinese computer system that can make 93 quadrillions calculations per second has claimed the top spot on the list of the world's most powerful supercomputers.
The IBM Roadrunner, located at Los Alamos National Laboratory, is the fastest supercomputer in the world.
China's Tianhe-2 supercomputer, stated to be twice faster than its competitor in US has retained its status as the world's most powerful computer for the third time, according to a report.
French IT firm Atos is planning to hire 15,000 people in the next 12-18 months in India, including climate experts, as it moves towards decarbonisation by 2028, chief operating officer (COO) Nourdine Bihmane said. "India is a strategic market for Atos. "We have been present here for the last 30 years, and we have grown organically since. "People and innovation are our two key drivers to build momentum. "India represents one-third of our total workforce," Bihmane said. Atos has around 40,000 employees in India.
The Indian scientific and research community is keenly watching the battle between arch-rivals and global chipmakers, Intel and AMD, as they launch their high-end server processors which are the lifeblood of high-performance computers.
IMD has decided to increasingly use cutting-edge technology such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in forecasting, both to avoid such glitches and to counter the disruption of normal seasonal patterns as a result of climate change. It has formed various internal sub-groups of senior officials and meteorologists to decide on how best to use AI and ML in predicting cyclone intensity, and in making short-range weather forecasts (those valid for up to three hours) as well as long-range forecasts.
Today's supercomputers eventually turn into tomorrow's ordinary computers.
US-based global tech giants, including IBM, Amazon, Google and Microsoft, have partnered with the White House to "unleash the power of American supercomputing resources" for combating the novel coronavirus, President Donald Trump has said. From volunteering to manufacturing masks and ventilators to ramping up production of essential medical supplies and general items, the country's private sector have joined America's war against coronavirus in a big way, Trump said on Sunday, while launching a new public-private consortium organised by the White House, the department of energy and tech company IBM.
'All El Ninos are not associated with the deficient monsoon.'
Researchers at the University of California in Berkeley, US achieved this feat by using semiconductors.
'Above 2,000 metres the gradient of the Himalayas is very steep and if you build any infrastructure (roads, dams, hydro power projects) in these regions, it will not be able to sustain these events (the onslaught of debris that comes down with great speeds).'
In the mid-1980s, India and the US struggled to arrive at sufficient confidence for Washington to even sell a supercomputer to India for monsoon prospecting. Now, the most sensitive military technologies, data, and intelligence resources are being shared. This would not have happened without that one, big deal that changed the fundamentals of India-US relations, notes Shekhar Gupta.
China's defence scientists have built the world's fastest supercomputer, capable of performing 33.86 quadrillion operations per second, surpassing the US Titan supercomputer.
All successful persons exhibit strong personal power, whether in the material world or in the spiritual one, leading to amazing results and shining in all fields of life.
Government has proposed major investments to upgrade the supercomputing infrastructure and develop a supercomputer.
It is important to approach the belief of people in ancient India's achievements with a sense of proportion, balance and empathy, argues B S Raghavan, the distinguished civil servant.
As per the 'India's Top Supercomputers list for 2011', complied and published by Supercomputer Education and Research Centre of IISc, IBM topped the list with six high performance computing installations across India.
A round up of what's happening in the world of technology, gadgets and gizmos.
Indian Space Research Organisation has built a supercomputer, which is to be India's fastest in terms of theoretical peak performance of 220 TeraFLOPS (220 Trillion Floating Point Operations per second).
Nuclear power is an inescapable reality today. We bring you images of this power from all over the world.
Last year, the researchers had developed the world's best single photon source based on semiconductor quantum dots.
We are not pursuing AI to beat humans at games. We are pursuing AI so that we can empower every person and every institution that people build, said Nadella
On Wednesday, Wipro Infotech in exclusive partnership with California-based ZResearch launched the Wipro Supernova range of supercomputers and superstorage systems in India.
The credit goes to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Sons - the Computational Research Laboratories (CRL). The main people behind the super achievement are N Seetha Rama Krishna (Project Manager), Sunil Sherlekar (Head, Embedded Innovation) and Ashwin Nanda (who heads CRL) besides, of course, Ratan Tata himself and CRL Chairman S Ramadorai, who is also the CEO & MD of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS).
IBM on Wednesday claimed it has built the world's fastest supercomputer, wresting the title from Japanese company NEC.
India may have launched itself on the world's map of raw computing power with the Eka supercomputer from the Tata group, but even the world's fastest supercomputer cannot match the processing speed of your brain. While your computer, on an average, can execute around 100 megaflops (million of calculations per second), it can barely handle dictation.
