It is simply surprising that such news passed by Habr.
So, on November 17, 2009 at the regular annual supercomputer conference “
Supercomputing 2009 ” (SC09), held in Portland (pc. Oregon), the 34th edition of the list of the 500 most powerful computers in the world
TOP500 was announced.
Well, friends, it's time to blow in the pipes, knock on the drums and wave flags - the
Lomonosov supercomputer of Moscow State University is on the 12th place on the list! For the first time, Russia was so high in the TOP500.

Yes, yes, this is the same computer that began to be mounted in the summer, and the cooling system of which took away half of the parking lot near the 2nd building of Moscow State University.
I hope that a detailed description of the new machine will soon appear on
parallel.ru or on the website of the Research and Development Computing Center (
NIVTs MSU ), but for now we have to limit ourselves to scanty data from the TOP500 site:
peak performance
| 414.42 teraflops
|
real performance
| 350.10 TFlops
|
processors
| Intel EM64T Xeon X55xx (Nehalem-EP) 2930 MHz (11.72 GFlops)
|
number of processor cores
| 35 360
|
total RAM
| 54 312 GB
|
communication network
| Infiniband
|
operating system
| Linux
|
Finishing this note, I will note all supercomputers installed in Russia, which fall into the TOP500 list:
By the way, in the first place TOP500 is a supercomputer
Jaguar Cray XT5-HE , installed in Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA. With a peak performance of 2331 TFlops, its real performance is 1,759 TFlops.
PS1 Thank you
UFO for the invitation!
PS2 As the Fesor
habraiser rightly points
out , the
news has already passed.
Upd. More detailed characteristics of "Lomonosov" in another
