Centre for Development of Advanced
Computing (C-DAC) arranged two days Technology
Conclave TechConclave2019 started from today at Pune.
In TechConclave2019 the emerging areas of Advanced Computing with
major thrust on Exascale Computing, Microprocessor and Quantum Computing, AI
& Language Computing, IoE and Dependable and Secure Computing and Next
Generation Applied Computing. 2-day Technology
Conclave at Innovation Park, Panchawati Rd, Mansarovar, Panchawati,
Pashan, Pune. On various subjects lectures took place between 8.30 a.m. to 8.30 p.m. and Exhibition
Timings (in Hrs.): 10.45 – 12.15; 14.45-20.00
C-DAC (Centre for Development of
Advanced Computing) has become synonymous with supercomputers. CDAC means- any
computing environment which makes use of advanced tools, high
computational speeds and efficiency to support researchers in different fields
such as scientific R & D, weather forecasting, missile simulation, space
science, pharmaceutical research and much more to come and research is
continuous process.
The
inaugural function of the event took place at the hands of Dr. Vijay P Bhatkar
(Chairman, C-DAC Technical Advisory Committee), Dr. Hemant Darbari (Director
General, C-DAC), Col. Asheet Kumar Nath (Retd.) (Executive Director, C-DAC
Pune).
On this occasion Padma bhushan Dr.Vijay
Bhatkar renowned Indian computer scientist, IT leader and educationalist. Shared
his knowledge,”Exascale Computers will definitely
help India to scale new heights in technology and other fields. He highlighted
that the future of high-performance computing lies in Exascale Computing. From
ancient times like 1000 of years India is been agro based economy , we were
predominantly called agricultural country , today we see with rise of Information
technology we are called as agroknowledge based economy , I am happy to share
that from agricultural economy to Knowledge based economy C-DAC has played
vital role in this transformation. Income from IT sector were 8 to 9% of GDP
because of this transformation in technology we are reaching to 18 to 20 % of
GDP.
Dr. Hemant
Darbari Director General- C-DAC said ,” C-DAC has attained a vantage position in
the area of ICTE through its applied pioneering research in the last three
decades in various domains in the ever-vibrant global landscape, which includes
high impact initiatives such as National Supercomputing Mission (NSM), Mission
for Developing Digitally Inclusive and Smart Community (DISC) with focus on
Agriculture, Health and Education, Language Technology Applications including
Machine Translation, Cross–Lingual Information Access, Speech Technology,
Professional Electronics Technologies like Microcontroller & DSP, Strategic
Electronics, Wireless & Broadband and Agriculture & Medical Electronics,
Cyber Security and Cyber Forensics including End System Security, SCADA &
Network Security, Cryptanalysis, Steganography and Computer & Cloud
Forensics applications and major Bio-Informatics applications including Cancer
Research using Artificial Intelligence are a few to mention.
Some
other tenacious endeavors translated into high impact initiatives are National
Supercomputing Mission, Centre for Excellence in Cyber Forensics, Health
Information Solutions, MANTRA-RajyaSabha and National Virtual Library of India
(NVLI). PARAM Shavak-‘Supercomputing-in-a-box’ has proved to be a revolutionary
game-changer in creation of HPC culture in academia and scientific community
alike; e-Sign – Online Digital Signing Service has been adopted by various
Government and private agencies, Mobile Seva has integrated more than 4000
Government departments; PANOROMA has enabled GIS based visualization and
forecast for maritime sector; roll out of citizen centric eservices for
Election Commission of India; transparent automated process for EPFO and
development of indigenous microprocessor through the Microprocessor Development
Program (MDP) and implementation of trailblazing National Emergency Response
System have evoked unprecedented response across the country.
Col.
Asheet Kumar Nath (Retd.) (Executive Director, C-DAC Pune) said at the event,”
C DAC is having huge reservoir of qualified manpower spanning across vast
spectrum of multidisciplinary areas which is devoted to the development of
products and technologies addressing our country’s governance , defense and
industrial concerns. These areas being often non monopolistic products have to
be developed in competition with international commercial players incorporating
better technical specifications at lower costs and higher reliability.”
