News item dated January 2018: India unveils its fastest Supercomputer.

India unveiled its fastest Supercomputer 'Pratyush,' an array of computers that can deliver a peak power of 6.8 petaflops. One petaflop is a million billion floating point operations per second and reflects the computing power of a computer. According to an official statement by the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pratyush is deemed to be the third fastest supercomputer in the world which is fully dedicated to weather and climate research. It will also make an Indian supercomputer jump from the position of 300s to the 30s in the Top 500 list, a respected international tracker of the world's fastest supercomputers.

The machines will be installed at two government institutes: A 2.8 petaflops power facility called 'Mihir' at the National Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast, Noida and a 4.0 petaflops HPC facility at IITM, Pune. With the new Supercomputer, it would be possible, for the first time, to map regions in India at a resolution of 3 km and the globe at 12 km.

Including Pratyush and Mihir, India now has five supercomputers in the list of Top 500 most powerful supercomputers in the world. Three of these facilities are dedicated to running simulations and models for weather prediction at different national labs, while the fourth belongs to the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and the fifth to a software company.
