Abstract:

Problem. In the existing conditions of import substitution of high-tech electronic products, there is a need to consider the hardware and software platform "Elbrus" as a basis for building both user and specialized computing systems of domestic development. Taking into account the prospects for the development of the "Elbrus" platform, its hardware and software capabilities, it seems appropriate to develop recommendations in the field of practical application and promising configurations of dual-use computing complexes.

Target. To analyze the capabilities of the "Elbrus" hardware and software platform and identify the prospects for its use in dual-use computing tools.

Results. The hardware and software capabilities of the "Elbrus" platform are analyzed. It is shown that at the moment the "Elbrus" platform is suitable for building both user and specialized computing systems on its basis. Promising configurations of computing systems are proposed and recommendations for their further development and application are given. The positions of general-purpose microprocessors in the market are investigated, estimates of stability and the existence of dependence on the development of production technology are obtained. Examples of the use of the "Elbrus" platform and the results of the analysis of the effectiveness of its application are presented.

Practical significance. The results of the work can be used to create various types of computing complexes based on the "Elbrus" form boards. The given capabilities of the "Elbrus" platform make it possible to create promising configurations based on it, which, in turn, can be presented on the consumer market of computing complexes of domestic development. Also, the results of the work can be used to solve issues within the framework of the import substitution program when promoting the "Elbrus" platform in the interests of expanding the scope of its application and adapting to the configurations of computing systems already used today.
