The Boeing Company is partnering with Computational Research Laboratory (CRL), a subsidiary of the Tata Group, to test and validate one of the world’s fastest supercomputers, the Indian made Eka System.

As part of the collaboration, Boeing has shared information with CRL on the processes needed to conduct numerical simulations on high lift aerodynamics. Boeing will also provide CRL with wind tunnel and flight test data for comparison purposes.

"The Boeing-Tata partnership is strong and growing. This collaboration with Tata is another example of the mutually beneficial partnerships that Boeing is developing in India," said Ian Thomas, president of Boeing India. "Through such high value interactions, Indian industry is entering Boeing's global aerospace supply chain."

"In keeping with our pioneering tradition, the Tata Group has set up Computation Research Laboratories to achieve a position of global leadership in high-performance computing. CRL is delighted to partner with Boeing to provide design and simulation support to accelerate Boeing's research ideas to market", said S. Ramadorai, Chairman, CRL
