A PARAM 10000 (6.4 Gflops peak performance) has been installed at the Computer Centre, of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi recently, under the Memorandum of Understanding between the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi and the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC). The C-DAC faculty interacted with researchers and familiarized them for the optimum use of the system by conducting a workshop. Research scientists from various departments like Applied Mechanics, Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics and Atmospheric Sciences interacted and had a hands-on session for parallelization strategies. Various capabilities of PARAM 10000 were also demonstrated. Discussions were carried out with the principal investigators of the projects from IIT, Delhi, to finalize the review process of multi disciplinary applications.

Prof. R.S. Sirohi, Director, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, reviewed the process of the PARAM 10000 installation, interactions for scientific applications and coordination with C-DAC. He appreciated the support extended by the Department of Information Technology for such purposes in the area of High Performance Computing.
