C-DAC is advancing India's self-reliance in high performance computing (HPC) by developing the AUM processor, a 96-core dual-chiplet system on chip (SoC), with tested samples expected by early 2027. Under the National Supercomputing Mission, C-DAC has established indigenous HPC technologies, including the RUDRA compute nodes and Trinetra interconnect network.

The organization's framework includes mission mode programmes and sector-specific centres of excellence (CoEs) to drive innovation across fields such as AI, quantum computing, and cybersecurity. A digital CoE for the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways has been established in Mumbai to support digital transformation.

C-DAC also focuses on AI solutions for critical sectors and has developed the VEGA series of processors based on the RISC-V ISA, positioning India to lead in microprocessor design and implementation. The long-term strategy envisions technology as central to national progress towards a 'Viksit Bharat' by 2047.
