`The Hindu' in its Chennai edition dated 28-4-2004 carried an article titled `India's fastest academic computer to vie for top spot', and sorry I could not get any online links to the article.
It has been reported that the Dept. of Atomic Energy made a grant of Rs. 3.5 crores to the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai, out of which the Linux cluster that clocked 1.382 teraflops was realised at the cost of only about Rs. 2.5 crores - a fraction of what supercomputers of this pedigree would cost.
AB, you wrote about working on a similar project - is that a connected project?
,----[ Ramanraj K ramanraj@md4.vsnl.net.in ] | AB, you wrote about working on a similar project - is that a connected | project? `---- The super-computer I built was for Lawrence Livermore National Labs (http://www.llnl.gov).
It has 4096 Itanium2 64 bit Processors, 8TB of RAM, Quadrics Interconnect and runs GNU/Linux.
Code named "Thunder", with a performance of 20 trillion floating point operations per second will rank second place on the next TOP500 list of the worlds most powerful supercomputers.
All the software I wrote for Thunder is released under GNU GPL.

Congrat's AB. Perhaps Raman you should have changed the subject to " Feel the Thunder". <g>
(With due apologies to Coco-cola for the punch line & M$ too ,guess they __sure___ can feel the heat now)
