The Bhabha Atomic Research Centre has developed a supercomputer, which is more than 6000 times faster than the first developed by the organisation in December 1991.

The 'Anupam' supercomputer, according to H K Kaura, head of computer division, is also about three times faster than the 64-node supercomputer developed in July 2002.

"The significant feature of the supercomputer is that the system also has self-correcting monitor with features such as, detecting and isolating faulty nodes, stopping the execution in the runaway nodes and monitoring the operation of various of her services," Kaura said.

So far BARC has developed 16 different models of the 'Anupam' series of parallel supercomputers using a variety of processors, Kaura said.
