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.
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:
|
- High Performance Computing & Communication for scientific and business applications
