ABSTRACT
The history of High Performance Computing at the Moscow State University (MSU) began with the creation of the Research Computing Center (RCC) in 1955. Since its inception, the MSU Computing Center was equipped with up-to-the-minute equipment. "Lomonosov" supercomputer was installed at the M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State University in 2009. This supercomputer was created by the Russian company "T-Platforms." At the beginning of 2012, MSU's supercomputing center based on "Lomonosov" had over 550 users from MSU, the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), and other organizations. The system network provides communication between parallel application processes in the compute nodes using MPI protocol, and an access to a parallel filesystem for the service servers and all compute nodes. The power of the MSU supercomputer system is widely used for the Russian Federation Presidential Commission Project on the modernization and technological development of the Russian economy: "Supercomputing Education."
