CDAC Patna has achieved a significant milestone by developing Bihar's first supercomputer, 'Param Budh.' This advanced AI-enabled computer was built at a cost of ₹4.5 crore. Param Budh will facilitate research in various important fields such as health, education, agriculture, science, and technology, making complex tasks simpler and more efficient.
Param Budh: A New Identity for Bihar in the Field of Computing
Bihar has taken a giant leap in the field of computer development with the creation of its first supercomputer, 'Param Budh,' by CDAC Patna. Equipped with the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI), this supercomputer is now fully ready to provide its services and will be officially launched soon.
The Role of Param Budh in Health, Education, and Agriculture
Param Budh will play a crucial role in enhancing research across various sectors. It will be particularly valuable in processing and analyzing large volumes of data in the fields of health, education, and agriculture. In agriculture, it will be instrumental in studying crop diseases and their treatments, while in health, it will aid in the study of drug effects and disease impact over time.
Technical Features of Param Budh
Param Budh was developed at a cost of ₹4.5 crore. Unlike other supercomputers, it features a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), which distinguishes it from others. With the help of GPU, Param Budh can efficiently handle multiple tasks simultaneously without errors.
Benefits of Param Budh
- Significant contribution to town planning, sewage system development, and promoting science-based agriculture.
- Assistance in implementing health services, smart policing, and controlling cybercrime.
- Support for streamlined traffic route planning using graphic maps.
- Enhancing the efficiency and speed of government services such as registration, mutation, and the implementation of the Right to Public Services Act.
The Road Ahead
Param Budh has already undergone successful testing at IIT BHU, the Indian Army, and other important locations. Developed by CDAC Patna, this supercomputer will play a vital role in giving Bihar a new identity in the realm of technological advancement.
