It was developed by the [[Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai|Institute of Mathematical Sciences]] (IMSc) in [[Chennai| Chennai, India]]. In June 2004, Kabru was listed as #264 in the [[TOP500]] list of the world&#039;s most powerful computers.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web |title=TOP500 List - June 2004 |url=https://www.top500.org/list/2004/06/?page=3 |website=TOP500 |accessdate=18 December 2018}}&lt;/ref&gt; It takes its name from a [[Kabru|Himalayan]] peak.<br /> <br /> The idea for Kabru was born when Professor Hari Dass of the Institute began looking for a supercomputer to handle his [[theoretical physics]] research, which dealt primarily with large-scale simulations in the field of the [[lattice gauge theory]].<br /> <br /> The [[Department of Atomic Energy (India)|Department of Atomic Energy]] in India made a grant of Rs 3.5 crore to the Institute to develop Kabru.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> * [https://web.archive.org/web/20071111162356/http://www.expresscomputeronline.com/20040816/coverstory01.shtml https://web.archive.org/web/20071111162356/http://www.expresscomputeronline.com/20040816/coverstory01.shtml]<br /> * [http://www.rediff.com/computer/jul/08c-dac.htm http://www.rediff.com/computer/jul/08c-dac.htm]<br /> <br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:X86 supercomputers]]<br /> <br /> {{Compu-hardware-stub}}</div>
