Joint Supercomputer Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Present and Future

Resumo

Joint Supercomputer Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences (JSCC RAS) is the leading supercomputer center for the Russian Academy of Sciences. JSCC RAS uses new technology which is particularly based on native solutions that provide ultra-high dense layout of nodes in the computational field and energy efficiency. JSCC RAS offers users the latest architecture of computing nodes and communications infrastructure. The center has advanced energy-efficient “hot” and “cold” water-cooling systems and a wide range of engineering equipment, a system for monitoring and managing computational resources serving a distributed network of scientific supercomputer centers, a domestic system for scheduling and managing jobs, software development and maintenance tools, application packages for high-performance computing. The paper presents the analysis of the current state of JSCC RAS, and a review of its development plans in the main scientific and practical directions.
