HPC & Super-computing

India runs world-class supercomputing hardware. The software stack on top is imported. AdiOS is the sovereign layer that closes the gap.

Not a competitor to PARAM / NSM / AIRAWAT. The missing OS layer above them. (ADR-078)

01 · The Gap

India built the supercomputers. The software runs on imports.

C-DAC operates PARAM Siddhi, Pratyush, Mihir, and the National Supercomputing Mission cluster. AIRAWAT runs 700 PFLOPS of GPU compute. The hardware sovereignty story is well underway. The software stack — schedulers, MPI runtimes, AI inference, observability — is overwhelmingly RHEL-based, Slurm-licensed, OneAPI / CUDA-bound, and Spectrum LSF / xCAT for management. There is no Indian-owned operating-system layer above the metal.

TODAY (imported stack)
  • RHEL / SUSE Linux distributions
  • Slurm / IBM Spectrum LSF schedulers
  • NVIDIA CUDA / Intel oneAPI
  • OpenMPI / MPICH (US-led projects)
  • NetApp / IBM ESS storage stacks
  • No sovereignty enforcement at OS layer
WITH AdiOS (sovereign layer)
  • 100% Rust runtime + scheduler bindings
  • adios-jobs: Slurm/PBS submit + queue mgmt
  • adios-mpi: idiomatic Rust MPI bindings
  • adios-siliconbridge: NVIDIA + Apple Metal + CPU abstraction
  • Sovereignty gate & DPDP enforcement at every job submit
  • Air-gapped deployment by default invariant
02

Sovereign software, layered above C-DAC hardware.

AdiOS does not replace PARAM-OS or override C-DAC's hardware management. It sits one layer up — providing the sovereign job orchestration, MPI runtime, GPU abstraction, and sentinel-enforced governance that classified and regulated workloads need.

adios-mpi

Rust-native MPI bindings. Type-safe collective operations. Compatible with OpenMPI / MPICH at the wire level. Source-auditable.

adios-jobs

Submit, monitor, and gate batch jobs against Slurm and PBS. Sovereignty gate enforced at every sbatch equivalent. DID-tagged actor on every job.

adios-siliconbridge

Hardware abstraction across NVIDIA H100/L40S, Apple M-series Metal, x86_64, aarch64, riscv64. One codepath, multiple silicon.

adios-scale + adios-fabric

Autoscaler + service-mesh health monitoring. Same primitives that scale a 3-node BFSI cluster scale a 1,000-node HPC partition.

adios-sentinel

Universal Policy Ring (Invariant #2) — every job-submit, every dataset access, every cross-tenant call passes through Sentinel before execution.

adios-meridian

Offline-first CRDT (Invariant #3). Air-gapped HPC partitions sync results back to control planes opportunistically. 592 tests.

03 · Hardware

Tested across three sovereign hardware tracks.

AdiOS form factors include an HPC manifest covering GPU clusters, CPU-only HPC, and hybrid configurations. adios-formfactor ships 10 manifests today — HPC is one of them, alongside Server, Edge, FTD, Citizen, SME, Gateway, Kiosk, Mobile, and IoT.

PARAM Siddhi
5.27 PFLOPS · ranked #75 globally (peak)
AIRAWAT
~700 PFLOPS GPU · IndiaAI mission
NSM Phase 3
Exascale target 2025-2027 · ₹4,500 Cr

The software-stack decision for NSM Phase 3 is still in flight. AdiOS is positioned to compete BEFORE that selection locks in another decade of imported tooling.

04 · Funding Path

Direct procurement · not a venture round.

HPC software is bought, not subscribed. AdiOS targets four direct-procurement pathways that exist today.

MeitY IndiaAI Mission

₹10,372 Cr deployed. AIRAWAT operates on imported software. Sovereign software stack pilot is the asks. Contact: [email protected]

C-DAC MoU track

C-DAC operates PARAM, NSM, AIRAWAT — HQ in Pune (close to Hyderabad). MoU for sovereign-software collaboration is the natural channel. AdiOS provides the software story they currently lack.

NSM Phase 3 (Exascale, 2025-2027)

₹4,500 Cr. Software-stack decision pending. Window is open BEFORE imported stack is selected for the next decade.

DRDO classified HPC + iDEX

Air-gapped requirement matches AdiOS Platform Invariant #3. AdiOS Defence module already exists (66 tests). Path: iDEX (Defence Innovation) program.
