International conference "Artificial societies and information technologies"

On September 28, 2021, an international conference "Artificial Societies and Information Technologies" was held on the basis of the Central Economics and Mathematics Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and a round table "Supercomputer Technologies and Artificial Societies" was held

Application of Supercomputer Technologies for Simulation Of Socio-Economic Systems

In order to сover a more wide thematic audience of the journal Economy of Regiona, the authors Okrepilov V. V., Makarov V. L., Bakhtizin A. R., Kuzmina S.N. of the paper Application of Supercomputer Technologies for Simulation Of Socio-Economic Systems, published in the 2nd Issue, 2015 used the materials of previously published paper “Supercomputer Technologies Application in Social Sciences”, Economics and Mathematical Methods, Vol.49 (4), 2013 and “Supercomputer Technologies Application in Social Sciences”, UPRAVLENIE / MANAGEMENT (Russia), Issue 2, 2014 (DOI 10.12737/4167). The works used the same methods developed by the authors, but different results were obtained. A link to a previously published articles is included in the electronic version of the article Okrepilov V. V., Makarov V. L., Bakhtizin A. R., Kuzmina S.N. (2015). Application of Supercomputer Technologies for Simulation Of Socio-Economic Systems. Economy of Region [Economy of region], 2, 301-312.

Development trends of russian and foreign super-computer technologies in the conditions of digital transformation

The rapid development of modern technologies and the emergence of large-scale world projects with the involvement of a scientific, political and commercial conglomerate contributes to the comprehensive development of digitalization, including the IT industry, thereby promoting and improving developments related to electronic computers. The article is devoted to the study of the latest developments in the field of supercomputer technologies in Russia and abroad. An overview of operating supercomputers occupying the first lines in the world TOP-500 rating is given. The main Russian successes in this direction are formulated. Possible perspective tasks are described that would allow Russia to strengthen its positions in the international arena.

Elemental Design Base of Chinese Supercomputer Technologies

China intends to close the technological gap from Western countries in microprocessor production by 2021. 46 new projects worth billions of dollars have already been launched in the country. Most of these projects receive direct or indirect state support, which creates a huge demand for domestic semiconductors. By a government decree, all servers in government offices and state-owned enterprises will be preferentially equipped with processors of domestic production. As a result, their sales are expected to grow at a rate of 20% annually. First of all, we are talking about “Loongson”, “Shenwei” and “Phytium” chips (the latter are the development of the Chinese military-industrial complex). The Shenwei processors, which have proved their effectiveness, are promising: they are the ones that run the world's most powerful supercomputer, Sunway Taihu Light, which consists of 10.65 million cores and performs 93 quadrillion operations per second.
