The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC ) is an Indian autonomous scientific society, operating under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology .[2]
History
[ edit ]
C-DAC was created in November 1987,[3] [4] [3] US Government refused to sell India a Cray supercomputer due to concerns about India using it to develop nuclear weapons .[5] [6] [7]
Dr Vijay Bhatkar was hired as the director of C-DACT.[7] ₹ 30,00,00,000, the cost of a Cray supercomputer.[7]
A prototype computer was benchmarked at the 1990 Zurich Super-computing Show. It demonstrated that India had the second most powerful, publicly demonstrated, supercomputer in the world after the United States.[7] [8]
The final result of the effort was the PARAM 8000 , released in 1991.[9]
The National Centre for Software Technology (NCST), Electronic Research and Development Centre (ER&DC ) and CEDTI were merged into C-DAC in 2003.[10] [11]
