Russia Comes Third in Designing Supercomputers A supercomputer with an efficiency of more than 1 trillion operations
a
second and a hard-disk memory volume of 7680 Gigabyte has been put
into
operation in Russia, said the Prime TASS. The supercomputer put
Russia in
the third position on the list of world countries producing powerful
supercomputers. Russia overtook the European countries with their
leader,
Switzerland, and China, the latter being ahead of Russia as far back
as in
the past year. The information became available on 31 July when
Alexander
Dondukov, the Russian minister of industry, science and technologies
commented upon the inauguration of interdepartmental supercomputer
centre
formed in the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Alexander Dondukov noticed that designing MVS-1000M supercomputers
has been largely supported financially. In the last year only investments
from
different resources, the Ministry of Industry and Sciences as well as
the
Russian Funds for Fundamental Inquiries including, exceeded 150
million
roubles. The cost of the supercomputer system is 5-10 times as low as
that
of common foreign samples.
A supercomputer with an efficiency of 5 teraflops (5 trillion
operations a
second) is planned to be developed in Russia until 2003.
Today the world leaders in designing supercomputers are the USA and
Japan.
A number of computers developed in these countries has efficiency up
to
2-4 trillion operations a second. The Unated States, in particular,
anticipate that the efficiency of supercomputers will increase 3
times
every 18 months. Before the year of 2003 the USA plan to put into
action
supercomputer systems having an efficiency of 30 trillion operations
a
second.
