Abstract: While appraising the current technological scenario in HPC R&D in India, this study seeks to map the trends in HPC. As premier institutes are regarded as the harbingers of pioneering technological solutions, a systematic interaction with key professors and researchers would throw light on pivotal issues germane to this study. A number of research groups and projects were identified across the Indian Institutes of Technology and Science, University of Hyderabad and Pune University. In view of various qualitative and subjective issues involved, an eclectic approach comprising Delphi, ethnographic methodologies and scenario planning is adopted. A blend of purposive and snowball sampling was done and 30 professors were interviewed. Their responses were elicited and an attempt was made to explore the possibility of striking alliances between industry and academic institutes, thus implicitly depicts a wealth and intellectual property creation model for the R&D function. Finally, abridged information on grids is presented.
