“Russian-assembled computer” - this phrase can be heard more and more often in computer showrooms or markets computer equipment. The number of Russian companies engaged in computer assembly, is quite large, and it is unlikely that anyone will be able to even approximately name their number. Among these companies there are many small ones with 5-10 people on staff, and giants that are rightfully considered brands of the Russian computer market.

Of course, it is pointless to compare large companies with small ones - both in terms of production volume and the quality of the service provided. It would seem, what, exactly, is the difference between a computer with the logo of some well-known company and a computer manufactured within one or two hours somewhere in the back room of the Savelovsky market or simply home assembly? Indeed, the components are the same, and the assembly process itself is quite simple: plug the processor and memory into the motherboard, connect HDD and CD-ROM, stuffed it all into the case - and that seemed to be it. But this is a superficial view, or rather, an amateur’s view.

Naturally, among our readers there are specialists who can assemble their own own computer from individual components, which will be no worse than an industrially assembled device. And if necessary, they are able to find any problem and fix it themselves, even if they have to arm themselves with a soldering iron and an oscilloscope. But there are not so many such professionals. But what about ordinary users?

Assembling a computer from separate components is indeed not difficult, but setting it up correctly, finding hidden defects and making it work correctly is not something everyone can do. And can you be sure that such a computer works exactly as it should? And the constant and completely incomprehensible freezing of the computer - isn’t this a by-product of such unprofessionalism? So what is the difference between artisanal and professional computer assembly in a production environment? Where and how are the company’s technological capabilities and the professionalism of its employees demonstrated? Creating a computer begins with designing its model. A serious company has a lineup of dozens of models of desktop computers, differing significantly both in parameters and in functionality, and according to the recommended area of ​​application. Design is the most important and responsible stage, consisting in the selection of components, the range of which is very diverse today. The choice of specific components, as well as their suppliers, largely determines the final consumer qualities of the future computer - performance, reliability and cost.

The balance of the PC depends on the choice of individual components. To achieve a balanced system, all computer components need to work together in the best possible way. Compatibility of components is one of these problems, the successful solution of which is ensured only by the vast experience and high professional level of technical specialists. Despite the fact that all component manufacturers declare this characteristic of their products, practice shows that they do not always solve this problem.

Large companies specializing in computer assembly can afford to have not only a technical department, but also test laboratories, which are engaged in the precise selection of computer components depending on their positioning and cost, as well as checking their hardware compatibility with each other.

In addition, manufacturing companies have access to technical information, inaccessible to mere mortals and primarily concerning compatibility between various components and methods for achieving it.

After the PC model is designed, the turn comes to incoming inspection, which makes it possible to identify both individual components and entire batches that do not meet either the declared parameters or reliability requirements. It should be noted that, despite the highest technological level of production of leading component manufacturers, cases of components being rejected at the incoming inspection stage are by no means rare. According to unofficial data, the party motherboards it is considered high quality if the percentage of defects is 10%, that is, every tenth board has a defect (now think about what boards come to the computer markets from “gray” dealers!).

You should also keep in mind that large companies that assemble computers order the necessary components either directly or from reputable dealers of manufacturing companies. In this case, the possibility of supplying counterfeit and, accordingly, obviously low-quality components, which are a dime a dozen in our computer markets, is excluded. Naturally, when purchasing components at retail at your own peril and risk, even an experienced user may well stumble upon an ordinary fake or defect.

After all components have passed quality control, the assembly stage begins. But even after assembly, the computer does not go on sale: the next stage is quality control of the finished product. It is gratifying that domestic computer manufacturing companies take this control seriously. Thus, many companies do not just check the performance of a computer by turning it on for five minutes, but test it for a day or two in stress mode, that is, various applications are emulated on the computer, and such tests are carried out in special thermal chambers at elevated temperatures. Only if the computer has passed the test in such a “steam room” is it considered fit for use.

It is also important, especially for inexperienced users, to have technical support from the manufacturer and the possibility of free warranty repairs.

So, to summarize the above, we can conclude that a modern computer is a structurally complex product that requires a professional approach at all stages - from the selection of components to the final testing of the finished product. That is why, especially if you have no experience working with hardware, it is worth purchasing a computer from large companies whose logo is a guarantor of the quality of their product. We will talk about some of these companies in our article. In addition, based on the long-term cooperation of the ComputerPress testing laboratory with these companies, we can responsibly declare that the products of these companies deserve the highest rating.

ComputerPress 7"2002

The Russian government intends to replace everything and everywhere with imports. But how far is theory from practice? Let's figure out what computers are produced in Russia and how far they are from the MacBook and the company.

"Elbrus" at the price of a MacBook Pro

In Russia, Elbrus computers are produced based on processors of the same name. An example that has already been examined from all sides is “Elbrus-401 RS”.

The model arrived at retail in January 2017, but has already been discontinued. This one costs 199 thousand rubles. For this money you get a complete set: a system unit, a 23-inch monitor, a keyboard and even a mouse.

The characteristics are so-so: for example, the 4-core Elbrus 4C chip is similar in level Intel Core 2 Quad 2008 with a frequency of 750 MHz, but there is a built-in video card and a discrete adapter based on AMD Radeon 6000 series. Besides random access memory as much as 24 GB (why, Karl?), and its volume can be increased to 96 GB. Yes, there is also a 120 GB SSD drive for fast loading of the OS and applications and a 500 GB hard drive.

Elbrus-401 RS runs on an OS based on the Linux kernel. Pre-installed applications– also with open source code: Firefox browser, text editor AbiWord, GNumeric spreadsheets, client for Email etc.

What can Elbrus-401 RS really do for 200 thousand rubles? Maxim Gorshenin, an employee of the Institute of Electronic Control Machines named after I. S. Bruk, together with his colleague, software engineer Alexey Ryzhkov, made a video about this.

The video shows the binary translation mode: it allows you to run x86 machine code on Baikals. The guys installed Windows 7 on Elbrus and launched the cult GTA: Vice City 2003 (!!!) years. The result was not very good: with medium graphics settings, fps seriously drops:

But there are newer models. For example, "Elbrus-801 RS". The characteristics do not break records: for example, the Elbrus-8S processor (8 cores, 1.3 GHz, 28 nm technology) from 2014 has a performance of 250 Gflops. For comparison: the performance of the Xbox 360 console, released in 2009, is 264 Gflops. Oh.

But the computer has 32 GB of RAM, a video card with 1 GB of video memory, a 120 GB SSD drive and a terabyte hard drive. Apart from the processor, all key components are imported:

It is unclear who would need such a computer, other than officials. The characteristics are questionable, the design is, well, that... But the developer, the MCST company, is ready to supply hundreds of thousands of Elbrus to the market per year.

Demand for Russian technology is being actively created. Thus, the Research Institute Voskhod, controlled by the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications, ordered 22 servers based on the Elbrus processor for a total amount of 49.5 million rubles, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs ordered 216 servers based on Elbrus-4C for 202.3 million rubles.

But for passing exams, the police purchased terminals based on Baikal chips - as many as 9,348 pieces. Each one cost only 38 thousand rubles, five times cheaper than the Elbrus.

"Govorun" with a capacity of 1 petaflops

Not only PCs are made in Russia - supercomputers too! Thus, a new supercomputer was built and put into operation at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR).

The system was named after the scientist N.N. Govorun - simply Govorun. True, there were no “Baikals” and “Elbrus” here. To create a 1 petaflops system, we took Intel Xeon chips and Nvidia video cards Volta.

A hybrid computer includes three different subsystems.

• The first has 21 nodes with a pair of 72-core Intel Xeon Phi 7290 processors each, which are efficient for parallel computing.
• The second has 14 nodes with 18-core Intel Xeon Gold 6154 processors for resource-intensive computing.
• The third contains five NVIDIA DGX-1 Volta nodes, each including eight Tesla V100 video cards. The power of this subsystem is the highest, 600 teraflops.

“Govorun” was installed in the Laboratory of Information Technologies of JINR. The supercomputer makes it possible to carry out theoretical calculations, on the basis of which experiments are then carried out in colliders and other installations.

“Govorun” will simulate the behavior of the NICA detector, which should be completed in Dubna by 2020, and create programs for recognizing the tracks of elementary particles. In addition, it will process statistics of particle collisions in colliders.

But speaking objectively, 1 petaflops is 181st in the Top 500 ranking, a list of the most powerful supercomputers in the world, which is published every six months. At the top of the rating is a system with 10 million processor cores and a peak power of 125 petaflops.

Indestructible laptop: MacBook couldn't do that

Rostec is creating a secure laptop that can withstand harsh working conditions. It will be able to withstand temperatures from -40 to +50 Celsius, precipitation, vibration and shock.

The laptop will be supplied in a sealed plastic case and with a vibration-absorbing platform. Some of the characteristics are already known:

• Screen: 15.6 inches (a 17-inch version is expected)
• Communication: Wi-Fi, GPS-GLONASS, 3G-LTE
• Dimensions: 41.3 x 32.4 x 6.2 cm
• Interfaces: VGA, HDMI, USB 3.0 x4, Ethernet, audio port and microphone port.

The brain of the laptop will be Intel processor(not “Baikal” and not “Elbrus”). The model, however, is not reported.

The device will operate on a domestic OS based on the Linux kernel. The trusted boot module will be added separately to prevent unauthorized access to confidential information.

They are creating a laptop for the Ministry of Defense and security forces; it is unlikely to appear in retail. Accordingly, the price is shrouded in darkness.

The production will be carried out by the Sozvezdie concern (part of the Ruselectronics holding). Interestingly, in 2016 he was developing a similar device for Intel based Core i7 with a frequency of 3.5 GHz and 16 GB of RAM.

But Ruselectronics does not comment on the connection between computers. They only say that new laptop"cannot be considered an improved updated version or next generation" of last year's.

Tablets for a million - Tim Cook never dreamed of

The plant of JSC NPP Signal creates electronics for the Ministry of Defense. Recently it turned out that the company posted a contract for the purchase of 400 tablet computers on the government procurement website.

The amount in the application is 142.4 million rubles. Or 356 thousand rubles apiece.

The winner of the tender was JSC Atri. It was able to offer tablets that meet the requirements. And it's not fresh iPad Pro, but protected gadgets that will be produced for this order.

However, in the documents attached to the application, only GOST standards were indicated. Atri CJSC itself shows on its website its product line: Orion tablets with screens from 6 to 21 inches, which comply with these GOSTs. Passive cooling, protection from shock and vibration - everything is as it should be.

Characteristics of the coolest Orion:

• Screen: 21.3 inches, 1600×1200 pixels
• Processor: IntelCore i7, 2 cores 1.5 GHz
• RAM: 8 GB
• ROM: 32 GB
• Interface: GOST R 52070-2003, MKIO - Russian analogue of the American military standard MIL-STD-1553 (MIL-STD-1553B), the signal is encoded with the Manchester code.

But the weight is impressive: how do you like a 21-inch tablet that pulls 18.5 kg?! The model with a diagonal of 12 inches also weighs quite lightly - 6.5 kg.

But that's not all. Thus, Atri sold six 10-inch tablets to the Signal Research Institute from Kovrov for 450 thousand rubles, and another dozen 19-inch tablets for 1.1 million rubles. iPad for the poor.

Supercomputer for 10 thousand rubles from a schoolboy from Krasnoyarsk

The younger generation is trying to restore faith in the future Russian computers. Thus, fifth-grader Grigory Kuznetsov from Krasnoyarsk school No. 42 assembled a miniature supercomputer in a few weeks. I looked for spare parts at online auctions and spent only 10 thousand rubles. The device fits in a backpack.

Kuznetsov said:

To create a smart machine, it took several single-board computers the size of bank card, fans, aluminum radiators for cooling boards, plexiglass, network cable, bolts and nuts.

I've always wondered what kind of 'machine' this is. I found out that a real supercomputer is a very large and expensive device. The main difficulty in studying it is that there is absolutely no textbook for beginners in this area, but I am lucky - I have a dad who tells me about the structure of supercomputers, shows examples of parallel programs and answers all my questions.

Conquest of Elbrus: processor in Russian

News spread on the Internet that the first desktop computer with a Russian processor had been released. "Elbrus-4S"- and away we go: “You can play solitaire without closing your notepad for just 200,000 rubles, heh-heh, and there are already computers the size of a keychain for less than a hundred bucks, heh-heh...”

To read such news, it is necessary to constantly keep two postulates in mind: firstly, the vast majority of journalists have no idea what they are writing about; secondly, the modern format of presenting news is precisely “Ahhhh, what a nightmare!” Not to mention the fact that most media are liberal to one degree or another, and are always ready to try to bash Russia.

Well, let's get the facts straight, without rushing into either liberalism or jingoism. What is it that is so unobtrusively “forgotten”?

Firstly, this is a pilot production. One-piece, practically intended for final testing. It is in principle unacceptable to compare the cost of manual/laboratory production with industrial wholesale production: “On May 5, the media reported that Russian company MCST announced the start of sales of the first personal computers “ARM Elbrus-401” and servers “Elbrus-4.4” based on the Russian processor “Elbrus-4C”... so far only available for order Personal Computer“ARM Elbrus-401”. The Elbrus-4.4 server will appear in the summer of 2015. “ARM Elbrus-401” from the first test batch will cost customers about 200 thousand rubles. However, by the end of the year, when the device is planned to be put into mass production, its cost will “reduce significantly” ... "

Secondly, most journalists and readers, due to their underdevelopment, automatically believe that a computer is judged by how well it draws graphics latest games, figuratively speaking. But we read: “Elbrus-401 is developed on the basis of the Elbrus-4C microprocessor and is intended for equipping automated workstations (AWS) of operators, organizing microservers and information terminals, application in industrial automation and in systems with increased requirements for information security.” This - Not home computer, but industrial. Completely different requirements! Google the prices yourself industrial computers and their characteristics, you will be surprised if you have not been in the subject before. Three parameters are important for them: reliability, reliability and again reliability, and gigahertz, gigabytes, bows on the side and newfangled connectors are calmly sacrificed on its altar. In this case, as a rule, real-time work is required - which is significantly different from “just fast work" Even that “trifle” that our processor does not require special cooling- important.

Please note that sales are announced only for legal entities? For a regular user such a computer is not needed - in fact, it is test hardware for industrial programmers, it’s just that “the same hardware” on the table is much more convenient than one already built into an industrial device. Over time, Elbrus (more precisely, its descendants) will begin to work in all strategically important places where the use of imported components is simply dangerous for safety reasons.

Third, the hand-shaking journalists performed a choral ode “Howl for Babayan”: they say, he created “Elbrus”, but in “this country” they did not appreciate him, and he emigrated to Intel with all his super-genius achievements. I won’t retell all the legends on this topic here, just check out the old F-Center article about this, to be honest, scam. To put it in my own words, there was a grandiose drunkenness taking place in Intel development teams and deliberate work against Russia’s reputation in the field of processor development, while Babayan’s “Elbrus” and the one we are talking about today are simply “namesakes”. At the same time, not only Babayan worked at MCST, and this “not only Babayan” has now reached the level of production and practical application.

Fourthly, performance. Again, if the reader was at all interested in the topic of productivity, he should remember how Intel And AMD competed to see who wins which test - including writing new ones that used new features of the models, but had not been used by software developers for a long time. But here we have fundamentally different architectures, and it is simply incorrect to compare performance head-on. Here is a short video on the topic with explanations:

Yes, by the time the MS 1504 was released in 1991, it was completely outdated.

However, we must not forget that there was a gap in microelectronics - and here it actually began to decrease. By Gorbachev’s “perestroika”, the USSR generally had a very large economic and technological backlog: the economy was slowly growing as a whole, in terms of space we were ahead of everyone, and it was possible to make very good money on this, there were unique developments in other areas - from accelerators to ekranoplanes, and in computer terms they were brought up to the world level. Moreover, both in terms of defense and the international situation, everything was stable. Within the country, it was already possible to engage in light industry at the required level, freeing up some of the resources. In other words, by the end of the 20th century, the Soviet Union would have carried out a “transition from quantity to quality” in the field of high technology, and in terms of everyday life it would have solved the problem of “jeans and chewing gum.” After which the “front window of capitalism” would blow away by itself.

All Conferences are open and completely free. We invite everyone who wakes up and is interested...
