The comparison here is not with the US, Japan or Europe. Its with BRICS countries.
You can come up with a million excuses. Brazil is not exactly a rich country. Or South Africa.
The end fact is the amount of research (measured above) v/s the country's GDP, population, etc.
Dude, population also mattrs. I compared it with China.
For China, - the number of researchers and facilities.
South Africa- Population of students and more literacy
Russia- Population and their research institutes.
Brazil- Population of students
I am not bringing out excuses. I am telling you the truth. Because I am in research. Many of our papers in conference don't get into proceedings because we can't get registration fees and travel grants to go there.
I don't know why you are involved with a troller in bashing India. I ask you to first research about these subjects. Rather kkeep away from thread if you don't have anything to say about the real situation in India.
At Universities level, which are not a defense or nuke laboratories, a teraflop capability suffices.
And India has it!
PARAM is 500 teraflops capable.
So gone are the days of cray-fish
Dude I know it. You can't do nuclear simulation without super computers. Weather Data processing requires super computers to analyze the data and reach conclusion.
I am talking about regular institutes where there are thousands of students who don't get research facilities. Bulk matters.
If out of 100 students, only 20 get help and 10 publishes, - calculate per capita. (factor in citation/impact factor etc)
If out of 40 students, 20 get help and 10 publishes - you can see the difference.
That is what is wrong with argument people have here. They don't even know the complex nature of determining the efficiency. Few of them are respected members.
