A new supercomputer that solves AI problems was opened at Moscow State University​

A computer with a new architecture based on the active use of graphics processors will form a single computing cluster with the Lomonosov-2 supercomputer. The total performance of the new supercomputer will be 400 AI Petaflops. The architecture of the computer system was “inspired” by advanced examples of implemented supercomputer projects at the best universities in the world, and the technologies used are based on the practices and existing developments of leading manufacturers.

A network with a capacity of 200 Gbit/s is used as a computer network. The network is highly reliable and characterized by minimal delays. Storage network has similar performance. For the control network and integration with external systems, a network with a bandwidth of 100 Gbit/s and the necessary redundancy of components was selected. The supercomputing complex also includes new power supply, cooling and communications systems. When creating the complex, domestic components and components were actively used.

Russia GDP growth in August 2023 is 5.2% and YTD is 2.5%. previously they mentioned that have reduced external debt to among lowest in large economies. this despite Auto production that is less than half of pre Ukraine. there is no way to verify such GDP growth but Turks still have construction contracts so there is funds going at local level. it is not just Turkish tourism but construction also that has been tied to Russia and this time alot of construction is going in Arctic and Far East so not sure Turks will maintain this share. last year they mentioned that in Post Soviet Russia Turkey has got $100b worth of construction contracts. and most will be in Erdogan time.

In Perm they figured out how to make a drone invisible to electronic warfare​

Specialists from the Perm State National Research University (PGNIU) have created a composite material that makes the drone invisible to electronic warfare systems (EW). In addition, the UAV retains the ability to exchange data with the operator using photons rather than radio waves. The authors intend to present the system in 2025, Gleb Shipunov, an expert at the NTI Photonics Competence Center based at Perm State National Research University and a leading researcher at the university, told TASS.

An unmanned aerial reconnaissance system was tested in the Arctic
The complex is a vertical take-off and landing UAV with a hybrid propulsion system (VTOL, English - eVTOL), which is equipped with an optical-electronic system, a side-scan radar and an on-board special computer. It also includes software for implementing algorithms for constructing and recognizing images.

The tests were carried out in two cross-country flights. The software and hardware complex took photographs in the visible and radar ranges. According to the test conditions, the FSUE Atomflot nuclear icebreaker was supposed to take off from the helipad.

As part of the federal project “Development of the Northern Sea Route,” Rosatom is creating an aerial ice reconnaissance complex – one of the elements of the digital environment. Also part of the complex will be a unified platform of digital services, accumulated statistical data and on-board measurement systems.
