Correct option is B
- A Made in India Petascale Supercomputer named "PARAM Ganga" with a 1.66 Petaflop (Peta Floating-Point Operations Per Second) supercomputing capacity has been deployed at IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) Roorkee, Uttarakhand, as of March 7, 2022.
- Chairman of the Board of Governors at IIT Roorkee, B.V.R. Mohan Reddy, officially opened this country's supercomputer facility.
- The National Supercomputing Mission's Phase 2 build strategy included the design and commissioning of PARAM Ganga by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) (NSM).
- This organisation is supported by the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that IIT Roorkee and C-DAC signed for the construction of a supercomputer that includes crucial parts such as motherboards for servers and direct contact liquid cooling data centers, among others.
Characteristics of PARAM Ganga:
- Only in India are its components and software stack produced and assembled.
- It is a brand-new High-Performance Computing (HPC) facility that will quicken research and development (R&D) efforts in interdisciplinary science and engineering fields to address challenging issues of both global and national significance.
- Additionally, it provides computing resources to the IIT Roorkee user community and nearby academic institutions.
