Pune, Dec 1, 2000

A PARAM 10000 with a 6.4 Gflops peak computing power was installed at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Mumbai recently. This installation was a part of the ongoing joint collaborative program sponsored by the Department of Information Technology and will be used by researchers and faculty members of the Institute in the broad areas of science and technology. At least eight typical applications are being identified and the Principal Investigators with their team attended the workshop conducted by C-DAC during November 30 - December 02, 2000 at the site. The workshop was attended by a large number of prospective users and a close interaction with them through hands-on sessions was initiated.

Prof. Tarun Kant, Head, Civil Engineering Department, Prof. Kannan Moudgalya, Chemical Engineering Department and Prof. Dipan K. Ghosh, Head, Computer Centre, IIT Mumbai, organized the interaction.

This is the seventh of the twelve Premier Institutes identified under this project, which will be equipped with PARAM 10000. The other premier institutes are IIT-Delhi, IIT-Kanpur, IIT-Chennai, IIT-Kharagpur and Karnataka Regional Engineering College, Surathkal.
