Telangana in talks with CDAC to set up 20 petaflops compute capacity in Hyderabad

The Telangana government is requesting the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) to set up 20 petaflops (20 quadrillion flops, or 20,000 teraflops) of compute capacity in Hyderabad’s proposed artificial intelligence (AI) city under the National Supercomputing Mission (NSM).

Petaflop is a term used to describe the speed of supercomputers where ‘flop’ stands for ‘floating point operations per second’.
