 Established
in March 1988, as a Scientific Society of the Department
of Information Technology (formerly, Dept. of Electronics),
Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (formerly,
Ministry of Information Technology), Government of India,
The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC),
is primarily an R & D institution involved in the design,
development and deployment of advanced Information Technology
(IT) based solutions.
In a little over
a decade since inception, C-DAC has developed and supplied
a range of high performance parallel computers, known as
the PARAM
series of supercomputers. C-DAC's development activities
in this area have been mission oriented and driven by its
mission objectives,
both in technology and application developments.
C-DAC, as a result
of its pioneering developments, evolved the Graphics and
Intelligence based Script Technology (GIST),
with a view to extend the benefits of Information Technology
to the vast and diversified multilingual population of India.
Use of the GIST
range of software and hardware products has led to the
proliferation of the use of computers and their applications
in all major Indian languages, with hundreds of thousand
of users countrywide.
Over the years, C-DAC
has diversified its activities to address requirements in
various areas, consequently, our expertise also extends
to other advanced areas of Information Technology, enabling
IT based solutions in areas like Financial
and Capital market simulation and modeling, Network
and Internet Software, Healthcare,
Real Time
Systems, eGovernance,
Data Warehousing, Digital library, Artificial Intelligence
and Natural language processing.
As part of its development
activities C-DAC has been awarded a number of sponsored
R & D projects, by the Department of Information Technology,
Department of Official Language (DOL), Department of Science
and Technology (DST), Department of Scientific and Industrial
Research (DSIR), Department of Culture, Department of Biotechnology
etc.
Driving business
through its R & D, C-DAC has undertaken and executed projects
for a number of organizations in Government, both Centre
and States, and Corporates. These are categorized in the
areas of:
C-DAC's Advanced
Computing Training School (ACTS)

employees of many Multinational and premier Indian IT companies,
and many of them have also become successful entrepreneurs
also.
The diverse courses
offered by ACTS, which are popular and most sought after,
are:
New courses in the
area of Geomatics,
Enterprise
System Management (ESM), Embedded
Systems are also being offered. ACTS also conducts specially
designed courses for Corporate bodies.
The National Multimedia
Resource Centre (NMRC)
of C-DAC is engaged in the development of tools and templates
for fast and convenient designing of multimedia titles and
web content both for professionals and entrepreneurs who
wish to adopt multimedia as their profession.
C-DAC's National
PARAM Supercomputing Facility (NPSF)
located in Pune houses its latest and most powerful PARAM
10000, a 100 Gigaflop peak computing power Supercomputer.
It is being used by C-DAC's own scientific and business
applications development team and researchers and institutions
all over the country.
