'''Lomonosov Supercomputer''',<br/>
a Russian [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercomputer supercomputer], designed by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Platforms T-Platforms] and installed at the [[Moscow State University|Lomonosov Moscow State University]] in 2009. The system launch ceremony was attended by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitry_Medvedev Dmitry A. Medvedev], then [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_Russia President of the Russian Federation], who proposed to name the supercomputer after the great Russian 18th century scientist and founder of the MSU, [[Mathematician#MLomonosov|Mikhail Lomonosov]].
Initially, the computer consisted of a main section of 4160 4-core [[Intel]] [[x86-64]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Xeon_microprocessors#.22Gainestown.22_.2845_nm.29 Xeon 5570] processors, and a second section including 260 X5570 and local hard drives, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_server Blade2 server] nodes interconnected by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InfiniBand InfiniBand] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quad_data_rate quad data rate] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_communication serial links]. In 2011, the Lomonosov computer was supplemented with 777 nodes equipped with [[GPU]]-based [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_%28microarchitecture%29 NVIDIA Tesla X2070] accelerators, and in 2012 further expanded with 288 nodes of Xeon X5570/X5670 processors and GPU accelerators.
