India has 6 supercomputers in top 500 list
In the recently published bi-annual Top 500 supercomputer list, India has a total of 6 supercomputers, down from the 8 that made it to the last time. The "EKA" cluster at the Computational Research Laboratories at Pune, leads the list for India at 18th place. "EKA" topped it at 4th place globally during 2007, but lost out to the wave of new supercomputers build by the US, Germany, China and other countries.
HP and IBM still hold the major vendor share, with a whooping 80% between them. The RoadRunner cluster still holds on to its number 1 spot, but is closely followed by the Jaguar Cray cluster. With more emphasis on lower power consumption, greener cooling solutions, and more efficient processors and interconnects, we can only expect a slew of better clusters in the years to come.

Most of the supercomputers would have had our own expertise hand
