TCS to Establish Center for Advanced Computing to Develop High Performance Computing Solutions

SANTA CLARA, Calif. and MUMBAI, India, June 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS), a leading IT services, consulting and business solutions organization, today announced that in collaboration with Intel Corporation, it is setting up a Center for Advanced Computing to develop advanced solutions in the areas of High Performance Computing (HPC), High Performance Data Analytics (HPDA), and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The new Center at TCS' Super Computing facility in Pune, India will be enabled by integrating the latest Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors with Intel® Omni-Path Fabric (Intel® OP Fabric), Intel® Optane™ technology, BigDL and additional Intel technologies in the future. The Center will focus on enabling TCS specialists to leverage the most advanced HPC, HPDA, and AI technologies for enterprises and academia to enable breakthroughs and create industry specific solutions across life sciences, genomics, manufacturing, technology, retail, utilities, banking, and the insurance sectors, as well as testing and research in areas that include weather forecasting and disaster monitoring.

Cutting edge solutions, for example, developed at the Center for Advanced Computing will be leveraged for real world applications to address complex computing needs for research initiatives in life sciences, where simulations and molecular structural modeling are becoming increasingly common, and in the finance industry where risk and asset management rely on large computational data analysis. In addition, the center will enable multiple Centers of Excellence within TCS focused on digital technologies and HPC/HPDA. These Centers of Excellence will focus on emerging technology, and develop next generation solutions to address industry specific challenges.

The Center for Advanced Computing will work seamlessly across the Americas, Asia Pacific, PRC, and Europe, supporting global customers, assisting them in leading edge research and creating innovative solutions using HPC, HPDA, and AI. The Center will further strengthen TCS and Intel's existing collaboration beyond the current focus areas in Internet of Things and AI. HPC Cloud Services, Converged HPC Infrastructure and the range of HPC, HPDA, and AI solutions will be focus areas of this Center, and will utilize high performance machine learning and deep learning libraries optimized for the Intel® portfolio of technologies, including the Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors and Intel® Xeon Phi™ processors.
