The power of a supercomputer in Sarov can reach a maximum in 2020

power supercomputer Sarov Nuclear Center (VNIIEF) included in the top ten most powerful in the world, in 2018-2020 it is planned to increase to a value of 1 ekzaflops, told the supervisor of the VNIIEF Radi Ilkaev. According to him, Russia can not afford to lag behind in the field of supercomputing, as it is on a supercomputer in a ban on nuclear tests calculated parameters for the development of weapons systems. Major competitors - the Americans - have the same objectives.

At present supercomputing power nuclear centers in Sarov and Snezhinsk up about 2 petaflops, or 2 quadrillion operations per second. A 1 ekzaflops - a thousand petaflops.

It also reported that already this year the power centers in Sarov can be doubled.

As of November 2011, the world's most powerful supercomputer is Japan with 10, 51 petaflops. Supercomputer nuclear center in Sarov will double capacity this year

Russian Federal Nuclear Center - Institute of EF - the country's largest research institution, to solve complex problems of defense, scientific and economic importance. Founded in 1946 for the project to create a "nuclear shield of the USSR."
