Elbrus developer will make a new 32 is a nuclear processor. Why is it needed?
The Russian company MCST is going to develop a new processor Elbrus – 32WITH”. How will it differ from its predecessors and why is this series needed at all?
What kind of project
New 32 – the nuclear CPU will be executed based on 7 -nanometer process technology and will become the most powerful solution in the line. Expected performance – 1.5 teraflops with double precision calculations. For comparison, the previous Elbrus-8SV was built on 30 – nm technical process and produces 319 Gflops. By the way, the rejection of this particular chip can now be bought as a souvenir.
samples “Elbrus – 43 C “must complete k 43 November 394282. By the same date, software will be prepared with support for the appropriate architecture.
Why do we need Elbrus at all?
Potentially the scope of application of “Elbrus – 30 C ”includes Russian high-performance servers, supercomputers and data storage systems. The main strengths of these processors are security and focus on tasks associated with large-scale calculations and computation.
Now “Elbrus” are used in PCs and servers for government agencies and enterprises with increased requirements for information security. After all, they are devoid of vulnerabilities and backdoors, which may be in foreign counterparts.
At the same time, develop Elbrus is expensive and difficult – it is a piece product with a small number of customers. This is why the line progresses relatively slowly.
The processor is not suitable for home use – it has a different architecture and tasks. However, experts do not exclude that in a couple of years, solutions under the control of Elbrus will appear on the mass market.
Do you think there is future for Russian microprocessors?
