About C-HUK

C-HUK, established by C-DAC Bengaluru under the Human Resource Development (HRD) initiative of the National Supercomputing Mission (NSM) and the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India, focuses on inclusive skill development in High Performance Computing (HPC) and allied emerging technologies.

Targeting candidates from SC, ST, Women, and EWS categories, C-HUK offers expert-led training in HPC, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Embedded Systems, and Cyber Security. These initiatives aim to build a skilled, diverse, and inclusive tech workforce.

The Centre offers a 6-month Advanced Certificate Course in HPC and 5-day Faculty Development Programmes (FDPs) to strengthen capabilities. These programs are conducted in Bengaluru and the North Eastern region in collaboration with C-DAC’s Centre in North East (CINE).

To maximize reach and flexibility, C-HUK delivers a Blended Learning Programme (BLP) via the IEEE BLP Platform, enabling learners worldwide to access high-quality content in HPC and related domains.

By enhancing awareness and providing tailored opportunities, the project empowers candidates from underrepresented groups with vital technical skills in HPC and emerging areas. Most programs are conducted at C-DAC Bengaluru, with select sessions in the North East.

C-HUK is instrumental in nurturing an inclusive, future-ready HPC ecosystem, contributing to India's broader vision of digital empowerment, technological innovation, and national growth.

PARAM Yuva, a 54 Teraflop supercomputer in 2008 (ranked 69 in November 2008) PARAM Yuva II, a 529 Teraflop supercomputer in 2013 (ranked 69 in June 2013). The Center for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) achieved a significant milestone with PARAM Yuva II being ranked 1st in India, 9th in the Asia Pacific Region and 44th in the world among the most power efficient computer systems with performance of 1,760.20 Mega Flops (MFs) per Watt as per the Green500 list released in November' 2013 at the Supercomputing Conference held at Denver, Colorado, USA.

PARAM Padma

PARAM Padma, 1Teraflop supercomputer in 2002. This was India's first supercomputer to enter the Top500 list of supercomputers of the world (ranked 171 in June 2003). This PARAM supercomputer was launched in 2002 with a storage capacity of 1TB, 248 IBM Power4 1GHz processors, IBM AIX 5.1L Unix OS, and PARAMNet for the main connection.

PARAM 8000

PARAM 8000, India's 1st Giga-scale supercomputer in 1990. PARAM 8000 is the first machine in the PARAM supercomputers series built from scratch in 1991. A prototype of the PARAM 8000 supercomputer came second in the 1990 Zurich supercomputing show, where it was introduced and tested. PARAM 8000 was launched in the market in August 1991 with a 64-node machine, making it India’s first supercomputer. It was a collaboration of C-DAC and the Institute of computer aided design (ICAD), Moscow. PARAM 8000 was successful with its Inmos T800/T805 transputers, distributed memory MIMD (Multiple Instruction, Multiple Data) architectures, and a reconfigurable interconnection network.
