High-performance computing resources of South Ural State University

Currently, South Ural State University has achieved significant results in the field of supercomputer modeling, artificial intelligence and big data. SUSU has an energy-efficient supercomputer “Tornado SUSU”, which ranks 15th in the ranking of the most powerful supercomputers of the CIS TOP50 (September 2021). For research in artificial neural networks, a specialized multiprocessor “Neurocomputer” complex was installed at SUSU. The “Neurocomputer” uses powerful advanced graphics accelerators to train neural networks. The supercomputer and the “Neurocomputer” are at the center of the scientific life of the University, allowing for the most complex calculations in the field of engineering, natural sciences, human sciences and artificial intelligence. SUSU computing resources are used in education and for commercial purposes to calculate the tasks of the University’s partners. The paper describes the characteristics of high-performance SUSU equipment, available system and application parallel software, provides information about solved scientific and engineering tasks.
