В ядерном центре в Сарове изготовили более 60 суперкомпьютеров

Специалисты из Федерального ядерного центра в Сарове передали российским промышленным предприятиям уже более 60 суперкомпьютеров, сообщил первый заместитель гендиректора Росатома Иван Каменских.

«Сейчас число суперкомпьютеров, поставленных нами в промышленность, превышает шесть десятков», – уточнил Каменских, передает ИТАР-ТАСС.

По его словам, создание суперкомпьютерного комплекса выполнялось в рамках проекта Комиссии при президенте России по модернизации и технологическому развитию экономики России.

В части создания универсальных машин эта программа была успешно выполнена, а по ряду позиций, в том числе и по поставкам этих мобильных комплексов, перевыполнена, подчеркнул Каменских.

    As for the lithography sizing of the processors, Chinese military, US Military, Russian military, etc etc all rely on processors that deal with real time data flow and in heavy EW and EMP environments (what I mentioned before) and believe it or not, but these older processors are more refined in such a case, and are ideal for military use than lets say a 22nm Intel Core i7 processor. As well, due to the lack of DSP cores, it is kind of pointless. Not to mention, you do not need high computing power for a core when the DSP's does majority of the work; the CPU mainly deals with the OS and various readings of the information on board.

    For civilian market, for people who play video games and what not, the Elbrus line of processors may not be quite there yet for such market. The E2K development has shown promising results in terms of flops per mhz and efficiency, but still not quite there of yet the newer Intel/AMD processors. As well, it is no secret that some facilities in Russia deals with 180nm technology to 90nm technology, but there is indeed lithography facilities in Russia that deals with 65nm technology and 45nm technology:

    Technopolis

    Technopolis in Kaliningrad region, can build about 350,000 pieces of 45nm lithography chips per month, although this is for specific chips designed for top-boxes, but who is to say they cannot convert to work for other purposes? For military purposes, Elbrus is developed in Russia. For civilian purposes, it is being developed in Taiwan on 65nm lithography. Now mind you, MCST only recently started to look into the civil market, by working with Kraftway on a monocube motherboard, and it was using a Elbrus 2C+ Processor.

    Now things are changing, where they are working on Elbrus-4C and 4C+ (4C being 4 core and 4C+ being 8 core) with using ECCM DDR3 memory rather than ECCM DDR2 now, as well has having a more refined memory controller. At that, kraftway is working on a proper PCI-E 16x slot for the motherboard so that you could fundamentally put in a powerful GPU in the system, but it is best to wait for the Elbrus-4 processors.

    BTW, I was wrong, it isn't module, but it is Elvees that makes the DSP cores for the processor.

      Finally, MCST is right now working out a DSPless Elbrus 2C as DSP cores are not entirely needed for standard desktop processors. There is talk as to also increasing the speed of the processor.

      Here is some development info on the Elbrus 4C+ processors:

      Demenko novel "The development cycle-accurate models of distributed shared cache switch IP" Elbrus 4C + '"

      Kojin Eugene "Development of the controller processes the query cache in the third level of the microprocessor" Elbbrus-4C + ".

      Varaksin Basil "Development of a system of exchange of the controller for the microprocessor" Elbrus-4C + '"

      (last two are powerpoint files, so it will auto download).

      In my summery, MCST is more than capable of providing a processor for the military and civil market, but more importantly, the military at the moment. Civil market is just starting and with Ministry of Industry pushing the Elbrus-4C line to provide Russia with the opportunity to replace their intel/amd system with Elbrus, this will only get better. The military was the main contributor to the industry, hence why little development from outside. And with the ever so increasing issues of the United States pushing their agenda's, as well as blacklisting competition (T-Platforms was a real competition to IBM/HP/Dell and thus, they were forced into the corner by US, there will be more pressure in Russia for change in development. But, at the time being, these companies need to purchase such processors from abroad, as high development is not yet ready in Russia, as well as they do not have a comparable civilian chip yet. Because, military needs are different than that of the civil. There is a reason why MCST still offers Elbrus-90 cluster systems using the R-1000 processors - it is still needed just in case.

        Oh, I forgot to mention:

        Biggest draw back of the Elbrus processor is that a lot of instruction sets are indeed owned by Intel and SSE4 will not be included till after the copyright law is no longer in effect. So in a windows environment, SSE4 will be missing. Not detrimental if the OS is built around the microprocessor, so in this case, Linux OS, but that may turn off some people using Windows Server for HPC. But most good ones use Linux    

        Biggest benefit of the Elbrus processors is its really low wattage, something like 25w of power consumed. These things would be amazing in a cluster setup, providing relatively high performance for low wattage.
