Supercomputing In Pakistan
The High Performance Computing, high performance supercomputing program started in 1984 in Pakistan, mid-to-late 1980s in science and technology, 1980s in Pakistan. Supercomputing is a recent area of Computer science in which Pakistan has made progress, driven in part by the growth of the Information technology in Pakistan, information technology age in the country. Development on the ingenious supercomputer program started in 1980s when the deployment of the Cray supercomputers was initially denied. The fastest supercomputer currently in use in Pakistan is developed and hosted by the Pak-Austria Fachhochschule: Institute of Applied Sciences and Technology (PAF-IAST) in Haripur, which maintains the largest high-performance computing cluster in the country. As of November 2012, there are no supercomputers from Pakistan on the Top500 list. Background The initial interests of Pakistan in the research and development of supercomputing began during the early 1980s, at several high-pow ...

High Performance Computing Cluster
HPCC (High-Performance Computing Cluster), also known as DAS (Data Analytics Supercomputer), is an open source, data-intensive computing system platform developed by LexisNexis Risk Solutions. The HPCC platform incorporates a software architecture implemented on Commodity_computing, commodity computing clusters to provide high-performance, data-parallel processing for applications utilizing big data. The HPCC platform includes system configurations to support both parallel batch data processing (Thor) and high-performance online query applications using indexed data files (Roxie). The HPCC platform also includes a data-centric declarative programming language for parallel data processing called ECL (data-centric programming language), ECL. The public release of HPCC waannouncedin 2011, after ten years of in-house development (according to LexisNexis). It is an alternative to Hadoop and other Big data platforms. System architecture The HPCC system architecture includes tw ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
