WHAT IS ISRO? ISRO stands for Indian Space Research Organisation Located at SriHarikota - Bangalore –Karnataka World 3 rd Ranked space research organization Funded by the Govt.of.India The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) uses a range of high-performance computing systems and specialized hardware for space missions, satellite development, and research. These systems are tailored to handle complex simulations, data processing, and mission-critical operations
Super computers High-Performance Computing (HPC) Clusters: ISRO has supercomputers like "SAGA" (Supercomputer for Aerospace with GPU Architecture), used for weather simulations aerodynamics, satellite image processing, and other computationally intensive tasks. Processor : Multiple nodes with powerful CPUs like AMD EPYC or Intel Xeon processors. GPU : NVIDIA GPUs (Tesla or newer) for acceleration in parallel computing tasks. Memory : Hundreds of terabytes of RAM across nodes to handle vast data processing. Storage: Petabytes of storage, typically high-speed SSDs and network-attached storage (NAS) for efficient data access and storage. Network: High-speed interconnects such as Infiniband or Ethernet (up to 100 Gbps) to ensure fast communication between nodes.
Data Processing Systems for Remote Sensing and Satellite Images CPU: Multi-core processors (Intel or AMD) for handling large datasets. Processor : Multiple nodes with powerful CPUs like AMD EPYC or Intel Xeon processors. GPU : Capable of leveraging CUDA or OpenCL for parallel processing, often used for image processing algorithms. Memory : 32 GB or higher to handle the high volume of satellite data.. Storage: High-capacity SSDs and large-scale NAS for storing raw satellite data and processed images.. Network: High-speed network interfaces for transferring large datasets between servers and storage..
Embedded Systems for Satellites and Spacecraft Radiation-Hardened Processors: Processors like RAD750 or specially designed ASICs to withstand cosmic radiation and extreme temperatures. Low Power Consumption: Components optimized for minimal power usage due to limited power availability in space. Custom OS : Real-time operating systems (RTOS) or custom-built OS to ensure deterministic response times. Memory: Non-volatile memory like MRAM or radiation-hardened flash for reliable data storage.
General Computing Infrastructure CPU: Intel Core i7/i9 or AMD Ryzen 7/9. Memory: 16 GB to 32 GB RAM for multi-tasking. Storage : NVMe SSDs for faster read/write speeds, especially useful when working with large codebases or datasets. Operating Systems: Linux distributions (CentOS, Ubuntu) or Windows, depending on the software used.
Recommendations Since, we are not intelligent than the scientists of ISRO, We highly prefer what they use as at present. Can Upgrade according to the Leveraging of Technologies.
summary The computing systems used by ISRO range from powerful supercomputers and specialized hardware for mission- critical operations to standard workstations and PCs for development and research. The emphasis is on high performance, reliability,and the ability to handle massive datasets. THANK YOU…
