Com — The Official Website of the First Russian Innograd Working Group | The Skolkovo Foundation and Intel Corporation have signed a Memorandum of Understanding. And Intel open Innovation Design Lab. Intel uses Russia military technologies. The True Story: Phystech, MIPT, MFTI -- Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, The Pact of Scientists with Satan. The idea of Phystech was to reinvent the wheel and reintroduce the concept of University in Russia so there will be the heart of University -- a college of fundamental undergraduate education, and the body of graduate education with extended members reaching far into the best existing research centers. The faculty would be not the full time members of this University but they will be working part-time in the education remaining full-time in their research centers.
The graduate-level students will be immedicately involved in the real life research starting from their second year in college. Peter Kapitsa understood that it required a very careful preselection and selection of students who would be taught fundamental sciences of Mathematics and Physics and then sent out to finish their education in graduate and post-graduate departments in the so called base institutions.
These base institutions would be the cutting edge of the modern science and technology. Intel Acquires Elbrus' “Itanium Killer” Intellectual Property. Intel Corporation has announced it had licensed certain intellectual property of Elbrus and UniPro – two Russian companies involved into the development of E2K processor known as “Itanium Killer. Additionally, the company had hired engineers from both firms. Elbrus MCST (Moscow Center of Sparc Technology) is pretty well-known for its co-work with Sun over UltraSPARC microprocessors as well as some other projects that evolved from this cooperation, such as Transmeta.
Since the year 1992 Elbrus has been developing a VLIW/EPIC microprocessor for high-end applications with monstrous performance requirements. Executing up to 24 instructions per single clock cycle and delivering monstrous 10.2GFLOP/s performance at only 1.20GHz, the chip called E2K that was projected to dissipate around 35W, was meant to be a real competitor for very high-end microprocessors from Intel, Sun and IBM. Elbrus and UniPro hire more than 450 and 180 world-class specialists. Add your Comment Close. Elbrus E2K Speculations. The promising microprocessor Elbrus E2K (Elbrus-2000) developed by a Russian company called Elbrusbecame well-known not so long ago, namely after the article "The Russians Are Coming" by KeithDiefendorff, which had been published in the February edition of the leading technical publication"Microprocessor Report".
The main theses of the article sound as follows: The new processor is expected to perform from three to five times faster than Merced processorfrom Intel. E2K will require lower power, and its manufacturing will appear considerably cheaper thanthat of Merced;The Elbrus team has the credentials and rich experience to be able to introduce such a processor;Elbrus computers have been developed basing on the main principals of the modern progressivemicroprocessor architectures, long before the similar ideas appeared in the West;Elbrus-3 was developed in 1991 with the technology, which was already outdated even in thosedays.
