We can when necessary - the domestic supercomputer KS-computer APK-1

In October of this year, the head of the military department A. Serdyukov visited VNIIEF (the nuclear federal center). The head of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation visited the scientific and methodical center of VNIIEF, the institute of mathematical and theoretical physics. The head of the municipality was introduced to the main activities carried out by VNIIEF.
Anatoly Serdyukov noted that he fully agrees with the direction of work, and foresees the use of future developments in the armed forces.
One of the VNIIEF areas of work is the design and creation of highly parallel high-performance supercomputers for use in the Russian armed forces. These computers have a high reliability of operation at constant round-the-clock work, are provided with warranty support and upgrades to maintain high-quality computer equipment at the advanced level of development of electronic computing equipment, and software updates.
Work in this direction has already given a positive result - a full-fledged computing center has been created at the enterprise of the Ministry of Defense. The center was created using the latest technology in the field of computers and proprietary software and programs optimized for high-speed computers.

KS-computer APK-1.
According to the presidential program “Development of Supercomputers and Grid Technologies”, VNIIEF has developed a high-class teraflop software hardware complex.
The KS-1 computer is designed as a compact universal multiprocessor KS-Computer. It is equipped with software and application software manufactured by RFNC-VNIIEF.
"KS-COMPUTER 1" is intended for solving problems of three-dimensional modeling and simulation. This will reduce the time of engineering and design calculations in the design and creation of new technical projects at enterprises, factories, design bureaus and research institutes in the high-tech field and will increase the accuracy of these calculations.
Domestic developers managed to create a unique computer. Practically, APK-1 is a designer’s dream to calculate modern projects.
The small dimensions of the 1 KS-COMPUTER, make it possible to install it in any workplace, just the usual supercomputers in overall dimensions look like a small separate room. The 1 KS-COMPUTER does not require additional systems, such as a cooling system, nor special technical personnel. We can say that it is practically a slightly larger personal computer. The advantages of KS-1 computers include reduced noise performance and low power consumption. So APK-1 consumes about 1.8 KW, which is much less than the consumption of foreign analogues and previous supercomputers.
The program complex provides an opportunity to develop, configure and execute applications executed in such machine languages ​​as “Fortran-90”, “С ++” and “С”, which are used by OMP and MPI tools. Implemented the ability to use software solutions in parallel, sequential one and a lot of user mode.
1 KS-COMPUTER is provided with a cluster MIMD-architecture with assigned memory, a high-performance interprocess communication system, supports the x86 architecture.
The basis of the supercomputer "KS-COMPUTER 1" multi-core microprocessors of the company AMD united in a high-speed network using the technology InfiniBand QDR.
The system between processor data exchanges with direct switching is based on the proprietary version of the software developed by RFNC-VNIIEF.
The system uses “Gigabit Ethernet” technology for internal and network use.

The main characteristics of the KS-computer APK-1:
- length 650 mm;
- width 325 mm;
- height 752 mm;
- performance 1.1 TFlops;
- Linux operating system;
- 220 B power supply;
- frequency 50 Hz;
- cooling system - liquid;
- Monitor 24-inch LCD;
- Blu-ray drive;
- card reader;
- keyboard and mouse.
- Estimated price 1.45 million rubles.

Additional Information.
A similar foreign-made computer solution costs at least twice as much.
In 2010, 1.1 was allocated a billion rubles for this program. In the 2011 year - 1.5 billion rubles.
Last year, 15 of these supercomputers transferred 11 to domestic design bureaus, enterprises and factories, participating in the program “Development of Supercomputers and GRID Technologies”. 50 percent of the cost of cars paid by the state.
RFNC-VNIIEF also assembled 6 KS-Computer APK-1 for sale on a commercial basis.
The program is designed for the production of 52 "KS-COMPUTER." Most of which will be sold on a commercial basis.
The estimated interest of domestic enterprises around 100 Tflops.
It is planned to release this year "KS-COMPUTER" performance 3 TFlops, created a prototype.
A supercomputer was also built with performance in 1 Pflops, which is announced in March next year. A number of enterprises have already remotely connected to this computer, remote testing tests are being conducted.
Future plans are the creation of a mega-computer with a performance up to 2015 Pflops by 15.

Not that the Chinese did not run past?

[Zynaps]

if a Chinese were running, then the processor would not be AMD, but Loongson, which was the American MIPS RISC processor.

but the Chinese, although backed up by an abandoned decent processor, do all further development, improvement and production on their own.

[aktanir]

I really hope that this is actually not crap level windows 2. And then, in fact, our glasses are able to rub our heads ...

[Anatoly]

Finally, a very significant shift! Software, our craftsmen at the world level keep. It remains only to develop a decent OS.

[PSih2097]

for a processor that has 4 cores (Core 2 Quad) and operates at a frequency of 3.5 GHz, the theoretical performance limit is 4x4x3.5 = 56 gigaflops, and for a processor that has 2 cores (Core 2 Duo) and runs at a frequency of 3 GHz - 2x4x3 = 24 gigaflops.

[snek]

Processors are still not ours. And how is it even possible that we have assembled a computer from imported components that are half the price of analogues?

[Nick]

Yes, with the element base we have a clear lag. And the fact that our computer is half the price is very likely. First of all, not due to the increase in "Iron", but due to more efficient software, resource allocation technology, well, in general, non-linear solutions.

[snek]

After reading the article, I rummaged at the cost of supercomputers (by the way, the performance of 1 teraflops is already the lowest limit for a super console), so there is cheaper in terms of dollar / unit computing power. Now re-search the vadula - if it is interesting through Wikipedia (preferably English), look at modern supercomputers and then follow the links to sources.

[dred]

The news is very good, especially the price.

[Denis]

And it was impossible to call a computer easier?

[azgard13]

it's all good but the issue with the production of its iron is still open

[snek]

If you really do not disdain "someone else's iron", then it is better then this:

Simple, original, cheap

[Alexey Prikazchikov]

Nobody does a chip except 90nm for us, and the system there is three-way and the architecture is different so it’s vryatli from imported components, here's the news about our processor who cares http://sdelanounas.ru/blogs/11064/

[snek]

Quote: Alexey Prikazchikov

Chips 90nm except us no one does

Well, yes, now - 32-28nm for processors with a switch to 22nm in the near future

Quote: Alexey Prikazchikov

vryatli he imported components

Quote for the article:
"The basis of the supercomputer" KS-computer 1 "multi-core microprocessors from AMD united into a high-speed network by means of" InfiniBand QDR "technology". AMD is not really our office.
here's another: "Blu-ray drive" (we don't make them)
There are very big doubts about RAM
YES the same monitor, sure not ours. Maybe a mouse with a keyboard, and that is not a fact.

[datur]

snek, all the production of components is concentrated in Asia, so that American computers also consist of them. 21st century do you understand

[snek]

Not really. Intel is building a factory in Arizona - it is planned to invest 5 billion dollars in it. AMD processors in Dresden rivets.

[Alexey Prikazchikov]

You at least got familiar with the question to start doing them in Zelenograd http://sdelanounas.ru/blogs/11254/

[snek]

I followed your link .. read it ... I did not find anything that somehow contradicted my words. The computer considered here or its elements are not mentioned there. In the comments there you can find more confirmation. Quote: "I suppose by the words" hardware-assembly shop "I mean that they can take microcircuits with the specified dimensions and nail them to the printed circuit board (although then it is not clear that it was stopped at 65. 28 is also really on the board, choush) , or plant in the body.
Alas, Angstrem is not ready for the actual production of these processes. "

[Farkash]

Besides, it is somehow vague - "microcircuits 130-90-65", at least they can make a south bridge there?

[sealord]

I built a computer on the famous GULFown (Gulftown):

So it is made in Costa Rica!

[urzul]

A plant in Germany was bought from AMD 3 a year ago, and the result came to light

A plant in Germany was bought from AMD 3 a year ago, and the result came to light

According to rumors a year ago, that plant remained dusty in warehouses, it wasn’t even exported to Russia, the reason is simple - the crisis, our company took up this business either flew into the pipe, or in debt like silk, not before the development of production her.
Now they have gone the other way, they are trying to buy a small factory in France at a cheap price and fulfill our orders on it. It seems that they changed the awl for soap (Taiwan to France), but the difference is fundamental, the main problem of our electronics developers is a scanty circulation (there isn’t much need for military purposes), for which the Taiwanese simply don’t take it (they don’t see the point of tinkering with small things), but here at its factory there will be no such problem.
From domestic production, the only thing they plan to seriously develop with state support is radiation-resistant electronics for satellites.
Well, there is still hope for a private initiative, there are still niches for mass production, such as purchasing technologies for the production of GLONASS chips or, say, set-top boxes for digital television (almost all digital televisions purchased by our population have the DVB-T standard, but are introduced as a standard in Russia DVB-T2)
But again, these are only plans, and how many of them were, of those grandiose plans, the mountains will plan, and at the exit zilch ...

[Zynaps]

citing the site "made with us" as evidence is like seeking advice from the kakademik of shit filters Petrik. the resource is more than once caught on outright lies, distortions, or submission of incomplete information.

[Alexey Prikazchikov]

Oh well, if you aren’t fops, then this site was created like Wikipedia, and yes, errors sometimes occur because of this, but just the same one we have is so correct and unruly and wise guy ?? !!

[Zynaps]

Why are you poking me, half-respected? I was not lying next to you in the same puddle and I do not drink vodka with anyone. tone would change.

[Alexey Prikazchikov]

And I'm not drinking it once and twice with people like you, I have nothing to say.

[tronin.maxim]

Compact, powerful, productive + reasonable price. Made in Russia.

[Alexey Prikazchikov]

And in truth, the news is also old already, so the editors are drinking it again .... gone.

[mitrich]

In my unprofessional opinion, in order to create such a production in Russia, thousands of assiduous girls in white coats with soldering irons who do not dream of marrying a tough businessman are needed, and such are now found only in Southeast Asia.

[Farkash]

Unfortunately, the girls will not help here. Components for computers are made by robots in almost deserted workshops. But I support your thought about girls !!!

[boos24]

that would be to drive on such a BF3))) but seriously, well done, computer technology is needed as air to create and provide new developments, and you need to create your own software for it so that it is not cracked

[go_by]

Domestic supercomputer from imported components? Something like a domestic plastic logic textbook? This is called cognitive dissonance.

[APASUS]

In 2010, 1.1 was allocated a billion rubles for this program. In the 2011 year - 1.5 billion rubles.
Last year, 15 of these supercomputers were transferred to 11 domestic design bureaus, enterprises and factories participating in the program “Development of supercomputers and GRID technologies”

Reading is certainly joyful, but there is a fly in the ointment ((The Chinese meteorological service uses 86 supercomputers. We still have to try very hard to keep us afloat !!!

[wall]

This requires political will, not "diligence". There will be orders, there will be computers, there will be no orders, there will be no computers. It's simple. Don't overcomplicate.

[Farkash]

All this is good, I am glad that our electronic industry has finally taken up its mind, but unfortunately it is still far from the world level. We have fallen far behind in the period of the struggle against "bourgeois pseudoscience." Food for thought, if anyone is interested:

[does it]

if not for the predatory voucherization of the country, we would be in front of the planet

[fantast]

Personally, I am very confused: "the estimated price is 1.45 million rubles"
The theoretical maximum performance of the GeForce 8800 GTX is 520 Gflops, in the SLI bundle there is a little less than 1 Tflops GeForce GTX 8800 I think you know - rubles 500-700 not more

[wall]

The main thing is that there is a card reader.
