tataNearly six months after announcing their number four supercomputer “Eka”, the Computational Research Laboratories at Tata Group has leaked details on several pilot projects dedicated to developing commercial applications.   The application areas will span a wide variety of subjects including aerospace and aerodynamics, automotive design, academics, animation and weather forecasting.
