AI Supercomputer AIRAWAT puts India among top supercomputing league

by admin

The AI Supercomputer ‘AIRAWAT’, installed at C-DAC, Pune has been ranked 75th in the world. The ranking was declared in the 61st edition of Top 500 Global Supercomputing List announced om 23 May 2023, at the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC 2023) in Germany. It puts India on top of AI Supercomputing nations worldwide. AI Research Analytics and Knowledge Dissemination Platform (AIRAWAT) is installed under the National Program on AI by Government of India.

AIRAWAT will empower the Academia, Research Labs, Scientific Community, Industry and Start-Ups to develop indigenous AI enabled products/solutions especially for solving India specific grand challenges complex real-life problems. This AI infrastructure will enable to achieve the vision envisaged under National Program on AI (NPAI).

Currently being the fastest Supercomputer in the country, it is designed and architected to be on a scalable infrastructure to act as a common computational cloud platform connecting all Centres of Research Excellence in AI, Indian Centres for Transformational AI, Academic, Research Labs, Scientific Community, Industry and Start-ups. We have initiated the process of on-boarding start-ups and MSMEs working in AI domains in the country.

AI Research Analytics and Knowledge Dissemination Platform (AIRAWAT) proof of concept (POC) of 200 AI Petaflops Mixed Precision peak compute capacity is currently funded by inistry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY) and implemented by C-DAC, Pune. The AIRAWAT PoC of 200 AI Petaflops integrated with PARAM Siddhi – AI of 210 AI Petaflops gives a total peak compute of 410 AI Petaflops Mixed Precision and sustained compute capacity of 8.5 Petaflops (Rmax) Double Precision. The peak compute capacity (Double Precision, Rpeak) is 13 Petaflops.

AIRAWAT is aligned with the central government’s vision to enable technology and Artificial Intelligence for the welfare of common people contributing to socio-economic growth of the nation. It may be noted that MeitY has already envisioned roadmap for scaling AIRAWAT to 1,000 AI Petaflops Mixed Precision compute capacity to cater to the current AI computational needs.
