TERI Acquires Wipro's Supercomputer

Wipro’s supercomputer has been acquired by the Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), a premier institute working on climate change issues, to address the gaps and develop a better understanding of climate variability and climate change, at different spatial and temporal scales. 

Thanks to the acquisition of Wipro’s (News - Alert) supercomputer, TERI will now not only become one of the leading centers of excellence on climate modeling in the Indian subcontinent but also develop as a hub for regional and global data, training, and capacity building.

“Climate modeling at TERI envisions addressing key environmental challenges from global to local levels, by providing plausible scientific knowledge on climate change issues with the help of next generation climate models,” said Dr. R. K Pachauri,director general, TERI, in a statement.

“Wipro’s supercomputer will help in fine-tuning the complexities attached in predicting the climate patterns so that they can be used for climate change projections and regional impact assessment studies”, said Dr. Pachauri.

 “A successful development policy can be formulated only if the uncertainties in climate impact assessments can be minimized, or at least quantified. I am happy that TERI has acquired Wipro’s supercomputer to perform the new generation Earth’s climate system simulations,” said Azim Premji, chairman of Wipro Limited.TMCnet in January reported that Wipro Technologies has launched a strategic retail solution, ENCORE (Enhanced Commerce Retail Ecosystem).

This new solution from Wipro is believed to offer retailers a new tool that will help them to compete in the increasingly rewarding online retail marketplace.

Without the need for substantial investments in time and infrastructure, this new solution from Wipro allows the retailers unparalleled visibility into their e-commerce enterprise. The features provided with ENCORE include social media integration, e-mobility, personalization, seamless cross channel experience, recommendations, referral tracking and much more.
