Russian supercomputers should be combined into single infrastructure — expert

It was noted that this raises the complex problem of managing such infrastructure, that is, distributing a multitude of incoming tasks between its various supercomputer resources in real time

MOSCOW, November 28 /TASS/. It would be preferable to integrate all Russian supercomputers into a unified artificial intelligence-controlled infrastructure, which will boost their efficiency, section director at the National Center for Physics and Mathematics (Rosatom), member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Igor Kalyaev told TASS on Monday.

"Different supercomputers perform differently when executing specific tasks. As a result, it would be preferable to unite all supercomputers running in our country's numerous computing facilities into a unified supercomputer infrastructure so that incoming user tasks can be solved on the supercomputers best suited for their implementation at the time," he said.

The expert noted that this raises the complex problem of managing such infrastructure, that is, distributing a multitude of incoming tasks between its various supercomputer resources in real time.

According to Kalyaev, the National Center for Physics and Mathematics is currently working on creating such a dispatcher capable of distributing incoming tasks to various supercomputers within a supercomputer network.
