The country's notoriously ancient computer systems are due for an upgrade.
Russia has always lagged behind the rest of the industrial world when it comes to information technology, and now sanctions from its war on Ukraine have held it back even further. Despite this situation, the country is reportedly in the early stages of deploying a new supercomputing and cloud platform that will feature up to 128 CPU cores per server cluster. It's unknown where these computer parts will be made, however, as Russia isn't known for running advanced silicon fabs.
The details about Russia's plans come from CNews, which appears to be a Russian news site. The site notes a state-owned company named Roselectronics has been developing this new computing platform called Basis using "domestic technologies." The platform is both scalable and a fusion of software and hardware. Each Basis module includes three servers with up to 128 CPU cores, along with 2TB of memory, though the architecture used for the CPUs isn't disclosed. It's unknown if it will feature a monolithic or chiplet design.
