Elbrus (Computer)Elbrus (ЭЛЬБРУС) is the name (after the mountain) of a series of Soviet supercomputer systems developed in Russia by Elbrus MCST and/or ITMiVT since the 1970s; its current models are compatible with U.S.-developed SPARC designs. - Elbrus 2 (1977) was a 10-processor computer, considered the first Soviet supercomputer, with superscalar RISC processors. It was used in the space program, nuclear weapons research, and defense systems.
- Elbrus 3 (1986) was a 16-processor computer.
- The current SPARC-like systems have been developed from 1996 with the Elbrus-90 and the company was formed under an agreement with Sun Microsystems in 1997. The company reported in 1998 the development of an innovative EPIC processor dubbed E2K by a team under Boris Babaian; little has been heard further as of 2003.
