'''PACE (Processor for Aerodynamic Computations and Evaluation)''',<ref name="GlobalSecurity"/><ref name="achievements"/> developed by ANURAG, is a loosely coupled, message-passing [[Parallel computing|parallel processing]] [[supercomputer]].

PACE was originally designed to cater to the [[Computational Fluid Dynamics]] (CFD) needs in aircraft design. It can also be used for other fields such as [[weather forecasting]], automobile & civil engineering design, and [[Molecular Biology]]. These systems have been built using VME-bus based Pentium processor boards, ATM switches, and Reflective Memory communication hardware. | ||
In 1987, India decided to launch a national initiative in supercomputing to design, develop and deliver a [[supercomputer]] in the [[gigaflop]]s range. Complementary projects were initiated in various labs, ANURAG being one of them. PACE was unveiled by then [[Prime Minister of India|Prime Minister]] [[P.V. Narasimha Rao]] in April 1995.{{citation needed|date=February | In 1987, India decided to launch a national initiative in supercomputing to design, develop and deliver a [[supercomputer]] in the [[gigaflop]]s range.

In late 1998, ANURAG developed the 15 times more powerful '''"Pace Plus 32"''', which can be used to support missile development, as well as other fields. A 128-node '''PACE++''' system, built using Pentium processor-based VME boards was unveiled by Dr. [[A.P.J. Abdul Kalam]] in January 2004. The performance of this system is 50 Gigaflops (sustained performance). It has been installed at the [[Indian Institute of Science]], [[Bangalore]]. At present work is in progress on a parallel processing system based on Linux clusters targeted to deliver 1 [[teraflop]] performance. | In late 1998, ANURAG developed the 15 times more powerful '''"Pace Plus 32"''', which can be used to support missile development, as well as other fields.
