high-performance computing (HPC) in India.
“This collaboration is intended to spur and support the growth of India’s developer community, with a focus on processor design, system design, firmware, and application development, including contributions to open source initiatives,” IBM said in a statement.
Through the HPC working group, the two plan to address areas like skilling, competency, and ecosystem building in HPC design research across the full technology stack for processor development, it added.
Guidance to startups, support for codevelopment and innovation, and capacity building workshops will be part of the efforts.
The partners will also promote IBM’s Power processor among startups, MSMEs and research and academic organisations for HPC applications. The working group will identify partners for designing and developing competitive indigenous processors based on the IBM Power architecture which can run data-intensive and mission critical workloads, the statement said.
Minister of state for skill development and entrepreneurship and electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar said, “We believe that the future is not only about manufacturing semiconductors but about designing chips and IPs
