COMPANY PROFILE
The Centre for
Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) is an
autonomous Scientific Society under the Ministry of
Communications & Information Technology, Government of
India. Set up over a decade ago, as India's national
initiative for design, development and delivery of high
performance computing (Supercomputer) systems and
solutions based on parallel processing technology, C-DAC
has over the years diversified its activities,
transferring the expertise its acquired and technologies
its developed in the high-end computing to develop and
deploy advanced Information Technology (IT) based
solutions. It has maintained developing strategic
technologies needed in the country in the High
Performance Computing area addressing mission critical
problems in the science and engineering fields.
C-DAC has been operating in a mission mode in order to
develop the technologies in the specified time targeted
manner. C-DAC's third mission has enabled it to set up a
Terascale Supercomputing Facility (CTSF) based on PARAM
Padma technology with both professional Unix and Linux
platforms, which has been installed at its Knowledge
Park in Bangalore to support and develop applications in
science & engineering.
C-DAC's other activity, the language technology mission,
is to create a framework for support to the various
living languages with diverse scripts on standard
computers. C-DAC has innovated its trail blazing
Graphics and Intelligence based Script Technology (GIST)
to achieve this goal. This technology is now extended to
include multimedia and multilingual computing solutions
covering a wide range of applications such as publishing
and printing, word processing, office application suites
with language interfaces for popular third party
softwares on various operating platforms, electronic
mail, Optical Character recognition, machine
translation, language learning, video and television and
multimedia content in Indian Languages.
Building on its foundation in almost all major areas of
Information Technology, C-DAC offers advanced computing
products, solutions and services for several sectors
including Education, Research, Power, Steel, Telecom,
Health Care, Agriculture and Finance. Specific areas of
focus currently are e-Governance, e-Commerce, Digital
Libraries and advanced solutions based on Data
Warehousing / Data mining, Genetic Algorithms, Cyber
Security, Geomatics, Artificial Intelligence, Natural
Language Processing, Real Time Systems and software,
Digital / broad band networks etc.
