CANCELED: Building Sovereign Computing Ecosystems: The HPC-AI-Quantum Trinity and India’s Frugal Innovation Model


Moderator: Sithu Dhamodharan Sudarsan (Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC))
Panelists: Sunita Verma (Ministry of Electronics & IT, Govt. of India), Magesh Ethirajan (Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC)), Manish Modani (NVIDIA Corporation)

Abstract: The National Supercomputing Mission (NSM) is a visionary initiative of the Government of India, aimed at enhancing the country’s high performance computing (HPC) ecosystem. Led by MeitY and DST, and executed by C-DAC and IISc, NSM focuses on deploying indigenous supercomputers, developing HPC software solutions, and fostering skilled manpower. With the successful deployment of PARAM supercomputers across academic and research institutions, NSM is accelerating advancements in AI, scientific research, and industrial applications. This session will showcase NSM’s impact, future roadmap, and India’s strategic position in the global HPC landscape.

C-DAC has been at the forefront of India’s supercomputing revolution, driving innovations in HPC through the National Supercomputing Mission. From pioneering the PARAM series to developing indigenous HPC software, AI-HPC frameworks, and RISC-V-based computing, C-DAC has significantly contributed to India’s self-reliance in supercomputing. Its advanced HPC infrastructure powers scientific research, industry applications, and national development initiatives.
