[C] PARAM Shivay was the first Supercomputer assembled indigenously.

[D] The majority of the components used to build PARAM PORUL have been manufactured and assembled within the country.

Answer: A
Notes:

Explanation: PARAM PORUL is a state-of-the-art Supercomputer at NIT Tiruchirappalli under Phase 2 of the National Supercomputing Mission (NSM).

  • The majority of the components used to build PARAM PORUL have been manufactured and assembled within the country.
  • It is based on Direct Contact Liquid Cooling technology to obtain high-power usage effectiveness and thereby reducing the operational cost.
  • Under NSM, to date 15 supercomputers have been installed across the nation with a computing capacity of 24 petaflops.
  • PARAM Shivay was the first Supercomputer assembled indigenously.
