About NSM Infrastructure:
The NSM’s infrastructure development is structured into three progressive phases,
Phase I: The initial phase concentrated on establishing a foundational supercomputing infrastructure by deploying ______ supercomputers across select institutions.
Phase II: The second phase advanced towards greater self-reliance by initiating indigenous manufacturing of supercomputers.
Phase III: The third and ongoing phase targets full indigenization of supercomputing capabilities. This phase also envisions the deployment of advanced supercomputers at multiple academic and research institutions and the creation of a national-level High-Performance Computing (HPC) facility.
