The Russian Federation holds a high position in the ranking of countries with powerful supercomputers

It has happened! In the ranking of countries with the power of supercomputers, the Russian Federation in 2022 rose two steps higher. Our country has firmly taken the high eighth place in the endless list of IT-vanity. In the list, where maybe only half a thousand very smart cars from all over the world do not push each other with their phenomenal performance.

In the pantheon of the power of artificial intelligence, Sberbank, MTS, Yandex and Moscow State University presented their high-performance wonders of computer technology. They took, as they say, the ability. Only seven, but what kind of cars.Of course, against their background, any domestic system blocks fade. But Russian office equipment is designed to perform the office functions assigned to it uncomplicatedly and reliably. And to support their younger brothers – Russian system blocks and to stand up for the honor of the country in the global IT arena, the heroes have not yet been transferred.

Dynamically developing Chinese comrades are located closest to the IT Olympus (the total indicator of the country is 173 systems). Two of their supermachines set the heat in the "ten" rivals. Just think about it, in 304 seconds a quantum computing circuit was modeled by one of them! Tell me, did at least one Russian-made PC come in dreams involving electric sheep, eh? Well, except for the American one (the total indicator of the country is 127 systems) Frontier with real performance on the Linpack test of 1,102 exaflops. For those interested: one exaflops is equal to 1 quintillion operations per second. Impressive! Enterprising representatives of the New World have as many as four supermachines in the first ten positions. The American Frontier – 8730112 has only cores. It has the coolest HPE Cray EX235a architecture. AMD EPYC 64C 2GHz processors also match it. This superbrain will serve for the benefit of the US Department of Energy.

Ahead of us, in the coveted ranking, there are still a lot of advanced people: Japanese, Germans, French, Canadians and the British. You may reasonably ask: and who is stepping on our train of electrical wires? Here are those who breathe intensely into our backs: Italians, Dutch, Saudis, Brazilians and Koreans from the south. There they have six supercomputers in each country.

What are the brains of high-performance Russian superheroes doing? They train neural networks, support the work of a number of services and a popular voice assistant in Russia, conduct research in science, study climate and dynamics of the world ocean in meteorology, process seismic data and arrays of information of post-genomic medicine.

We believe that the time will come, and Russia will get to the very top of the global IT Olympus. Who knows what will happen in the lives of the next generations. It is possible that the intensity of public and economic demands for Russian-made computers will then take the form of mass interest, trust and pride in the achievements of the domestic IT industry. Let's wait and see!
