High-end computing system launched

India’s high performance computing system “Dhruva-3”, designed for solving mission defence research and development critical applications, was launched here on Saturday.

Avinash Chander, Secretary of the Department of Defence Research Organisation (DRDO) and Director-General inaugurated the system at the Advanced Numerical Research and Analysis Group (Anurag) here, a statement from the organisation said.

“It is a high-end facility, (which is) very useful for the design of aircraft, particularly Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) and other such aircraft where we require analysis of aerodynamics at high speeds and under different conditions,” Chander said, while addressing Anurag scientists during the inauguration.

It is one of the fastest computing facilities in the country and will also play a very good roll in cyber security and information processing, he added.
