CENTER FOR DEVELOPMENT OF ADVANCE COMPUTING

CDAC Pune





Founded in March 1988, as a Scientific Society of the Department of Information Technology, Ministry of Communications and InformationTechnology, Government of India, the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), is mainly an R & D institution involved in the design, development and deployment of advanced Information Technology (IT) based solutions. Over a decade since inception, C-DAC has developed and supplied a variety of high performance similar computers, called as the PARAM series of supercomputers. C-DAC's development functions in this area have been task oriented and determined by its mission goals, both in technology and application developments. C-DAC, as an impact of its initiating developments, developed the Graphics and Intelligence based Script Technology, with a sight to expand the benefits of InformationTechnology to the vast and varied multilingualpopulation of India. Apply of the GIST variety of software and hardware products has led to the propagation of the use of computers and their applications in all main Indian languages, with hundreds of thousand of users nationwide.
Over the years, C-DAC has diversified its activities to address requirements in various areas, therefore, their expertise also extends to other advanced areas of Information Technology, enabling IT based solutions in areas like financial and capital market simulation and modeling, network and internet software, healthcare, real time systems, eGovernance, data warehousing, digital library, artificial intelligence and natural language processing.As a part of its development activities C-DAC has been rewarded a number of sponsored R & D projects, by the Department of InformationTechnology, Department of Official Language (DOL), Department of Science and Technology (DST), Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR), Department of Culture, Department of Biotechnology etc. As part of the authorization given to C-DAC to generate manpower to address the growing demand for trained human recourses extremely fast moving sector of InformationTechnology, C-DAC established its Advanced Computing Training School (ACTS).
