SAGA system leverages NVIDIA GPU

VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE

NVIDIA has announced that the SAGA system is leveraging NVIDIA GPUs to dramatically improve the design and analysis of the delivery vehicles critical to the nation’s space program.

Developed by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), the SAGA supercomputer is used to tackle complex aeronautical problems. Harnessing the power of 640 NVIDIA Tesla GPUs and providing up to 394 teraflops of peak performance, SAGA enables ISRO to accelerate and improve the design and analysis of new and existing satellite launch vehicles by enabling more complex and accurate design simulations.

ISRO Sources claimed, “GPUs enabled us to reduce the time to create, simulate and verify a new launch vehicle design from weeks to days, while improving the overall quality and durability of the design dramatically. This level of supercomputing power has made a huge difference in our space program, by enabling us to continually refine and improve our prediction capabilities.”

Sumit Gupta, Sr. Director, Tesla business, NVIDIA said, “The Indian government has jumped into global supercomputing race in a big way, with its recent $1 billion pledge to build a network of next-generation, petascale-class supercomputers throughout the country. India joins the US, China, Germany, Japan, Russia, and other leading nations who are applying supercomputing resources to solve some of the worlds’ most pressing computational, scientific and engineering problems.”
