“SERC is now home to India’s first petaflop supercomputing system, which will power the Center’s important computational science initiatives,” said Nick Gorga, Cray’s vice president of sales, Asia Pacific.
The Cray XC40 supercomputer at SERC features Intel Xeon processors, and includes Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors and NVIDIA Tesla GPU accelerators.
