Russian microprocessor Elbrus-4C ready for serial production Bashny.Net

ZAO MCST, in April 1992, he worked on the basis of branches of the Institute of Precision Mechanics and Computer Engineering named after SA Lebedeva (ITM and VT) and is the successor of LLP "Moscow Center for SPARC-technologies", said the completion of the test cycle microprocessor Elbrus-4C.
This is the most high-performance microprocessors, the company created by experts. In the development of processor server based on it, and the software involved employees of INEUM them. Bruk, a key partner MCST.
Elbrus-4C is a development line of microprocessors developed in Elbrus MCST architecture. It is a 64-bit quad-purpose microprocessor for up to 800 MHz. In a single clock cycle per core of the new processor can perform 23 operations - several times more than the type of processors RISC. According to the developer, the total computing power of four cores is about 50 billion floating-point operations (GFLOPS) single-precision and 25 GFLOPS - double. It is alleged that in many real problems Elbrus-4C performance comparable with leading foreign microprocessors, while working at a relatively low clock frequency.
Integrated memory controller enables three channels of DDR3-1600. Combine up to four processors in a multiprocessor system with shared memory.
Compared with the previous generation processor Elbrus-2C +, the architecture of the new processor have made significant improvements: implemented hardware support for binary translation 64-bit codes Intel / AMD, added support for binary translation in multithreaded mode, increased cache memory. There was also redesigned subsystem of memory: mastered standard DDR3-1600, increased the number of memory channels, increasing the efficiency of a multiprocessor system. The processor manufactured on 65nm process technology, is characterized by an average power consumption 45W.
Processor-based Elbrus-4C developed server containing four processors and two south bridge KPI, as developed in the MCST.
Base operating system CPU is running "Elbrus" in the Linux kernel 2.6.33. It includes a package manager, and more than 3 thousand software packages from the distribution Debian 5.0. There is a complete set of developer tools, which includes optimizing compilers for high-level languages ​​C, C ++, Fortran 77 and Fortran 90, debugger, profiler, and a library of mathematical functions and signal processing. OS "Elbrus" supports real-time, certified to Class 2 protection against unauthorized access and the 2nd level of control of undeclared capabilities.
Developer emphasizes that the distinguishing feature of the platforms developed by them is the power of attorney: all of their key software and hardware components designed by experts of the company and are accompanied by a complete design documentation. Processor Elbrus-4C will be the basis for a wide range of domestic trusted computing: servers, personal computers and embedded solutions.
Systems by experts IPMCE, once formed the basis of the computing resources in the major high-tech sectors of our society, which include space exploration, nuclear energy, fundamental and applied research. Such systems include supercomputers BESM, Elbrus-1KB, "Elbrus-1" and "Elbrus-2". The microprocessor Elbrus-4C and systems based on it will take a worthy place in this series.
