November 18 2020: India has three systems in the Top500 ranking of the world’s supercomputers released  this week:
Rank/ system and location/ cores/Rmax
63/PARAM Siddhi-AI - NVIDIA DGX A100, AMD EPYC 7742 64C 2.25GHz, NVIDIA A100, Mellanox HDR Infiniband, Atos; Center for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC)/41664/4619 TFlops/
78/Pratyush - Cray XC40, Xeon E5-2695v4 18C 2.1GHz, Aries interconnect , Cray/HPE Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology/119,232/3763.9 TFlops
