Computing Center of Moscow State University- a scientific division of the Moscow State University named after M. V. Lomonosov.

Story

The Computing Center of Moscow State University was established in 1955 at the Department of Computational Mathematics on the basis of the Department of Computers of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of Moscow State University. It was the first computer center in the system of universities and one of the first in the USSR in general. The creation of a computer center at Moscow State University was caused by the need to train a large number of highly qualified specialists in the field of computational sciences, as well as specialists who can solve complex scientific and national economic problems using the most modern computer technology.

The initiator of the creation of the Computing Center was Academician S. L. Sobolev, who headed the Department of Computational Mathematics. The organizer and the first director of the computer center was the professor of the department I. S. Berezin. Ivan Semyonovich Berezin not only created the Exhibition Center, but also determined the style of its work and traditions for many years.

The computing power of the center in the first years of its existence was over 10% of the total computing power of all computers then available in the USSR. It quickly acquired the status of a major scientific center. Already in the first years, the most important national economic problems related to meteorology, the launch of rockets and artificial Earth satellites, manned space flights, aerodynamics, electrodynamics, structural analysis, mathematical economics, etc. were solved. Great success was also achieved in solving theoretical problems. problems of numerical analysis and programming. For these and other works, a number of employees of the computer center were awarded orders and medals, the Lomonosov Prizes of Moscow State University, the State Prize of the USSR and the Prize of the Council of Ministers of the USSR.

The status of the computer center has changed several times. From 1955 to 1972, it was an institution that was part of the Department of Computational Mathematics of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics. From 1972 to 1982, it was an institute within the Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics and was named the Research Computing Center of Moscow State University (NICC). In 1982, the NIVTs was separated from the faculty of the VMK and became one of the institutes of Moscow University with direct subordination to the rector's office.

After Professor I. S. Berezin, Academician V. V. Voevodin, Professor E. A. Grebenikov, Associate Professor V. M. Repin were directors of the Computing Center at different times.

Center activities

The computer center has always been equipped with the most advanced Soviet technology. Already in December 1956, the first serial Soviet machine "Strela" was installed in the exhibition center. By the way, many modern ideas were implemented in it (it had special processors for the quick execution of short programs, programming was carried out in terms of vector operations, etc.). In 1961, the M-20 machine was installed, in 1966 - BESM-4. By 1981, four BESM-6s, two ES-1022s, Minsk-32s, two Mir-2 computers and the world's first tubeless computer Setun with a ternary system, developed in the CC itself reckoning.

The Computing Center has various contacts with all subdivisions of Moscow State University. But the closest interaction has always been with the Department of Computational Mathematics of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, headed by A.N. Tikhonov. Academician Andrei Nikolayevich Tikhonov was the scientific director of the Moscow State University Computing Center for almost a quarter of a century. This was the period of the formation of computational sciences at Moscow University. At this time, the computing center was most strongly associated with the pedagogical process.

The Computing Center of Moscow State University and its subdivisions often became a place for coordinating the scientific efforts of representatives of various research organizations. Thus, for many years at the Computing Center of Moscow State University there was a scientific seminar on the application of numerical methods in the dynamics of liquids and gases, which was organized and headed (together with G.F. Telenin, L.A. Chudov and G.S. Roslyakov) by Academician G.I. Petrov.

Currently, the director of the Research and Development Center of Moscow State University is Professor, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Alexander Vladimirovich Tikhonravov.

An excerpt characterizing the Research Computing Center of Moscow State University

Nikolai gloomily, continuing to walk around the room, looked at Denisov and the girls, avoiding their eyes.
"Nikolenka, what's wrong with you?" asked Sonya's gaze fixed on him. She immediately saw that something had happened to him.
Nicholas turned away from her. Natasha, with her sensitivity, also instantly noticed the state of her brother. She noticed him, but she herself was so happy at that moment, she was so far from grief, sadness, reproaches, that she (as often happens with young people) deliberately deceived herself. No, I'm too happy now to spoil my fun with sympathy for someone else's grief, she felt, and said to herself:
"No, I'm sure I'm wrong, he must be as cheerful as I am." Well, Sonya, - she said and went to the very middle of the hall, where, in her opinion, the resonance was best. Raising her head, lowering her lifelessly hanging hands, as dancers do, Natasha, stepping from heel to tiptoe with an energetic movement, walked across the middle of the room and stopped.
"Here I am!" as if she were speaking, answering the enthusiastic look of Denisov, who was watching her.
“And what makes her happy! Nikolay thought, looking at his sister. And how she is not bored and not ashamed! Natasha took the first note, her throat widened, her chest straightened, her eyes took on a serious expression. She was not thinking of anyone or anything at that moment, and sounds poured out of the smile of her folded mouth, those sounds that anyone can produce at the same intervals and at the same intervals, but which leave you cold a thousand times, in make you shudder and cry for the thousand and first time.
Natasha this winter began to sing seriously for the first time, and especially because Denisov admired her singing. She sang now not like a child, there was no longer in her singing that comic, childish diligence that had been in her before; but she did not yet sing well, as all the judges who heard her said. “Not processed, but a beautiful voice, it needs to be processed,” everyone said. But they usually said this long after her voice had fallen silent. At the same time, when this unprocessed voice sounded with incorrect aspirations and with efforts of transitions, even the experts of the judge did not say anything, and only enjoyed this unprocessed voice and only wished to hear it again. There was that virginal innocence in her voice, that ignorance of her own strengths and that still unprocessed velvety, which were so combined with the shortcomings of the art of singing that it seemed impossible to change anything in this voice without spoiling it.
“What is this? Nikolai thought, hearing her voice and opening his eyes wide. - What happened to her? How does she sing today? he thought. And suddenly the whole world for him concentrated in anticipation of the next note, the next phrase, and everything in the world became divided into three tempos: “Oh mio crudele affetto… [Oh my cruel love…] One, two, three… one, two… three… one… Oh mio crudele affetto… One, two, three… one. Oh, our stupid life! Nicholas thought. All this, and misfortune, and money, and Dolokhov, and malice, and honor - all this is nonsense ... but here it is real ... Hy, Natasha, well, my dear! well, mother! ... how will she take this si? took! thank God!" - and he, without noticing that he was singing, in order to strengthen this si, took the second third of a high note. "My God! how good! Is this what I took? how happy!” he thought.
O! how this third trembled, and how something better that was in Rostov's soul was touched. And this something was independent of everything in the world, and above everything in the world. What losses here, and the Dolokhovs, and honestly! ... All nonsense! You can kill, steal and still be happy ...

For a long time Rostov had not experienced such pleasure from music as on that day. But as soon as Natasha finished her barcarolle, he remembered reality again. He left without saying anything and went downstairs to his room. A quarter of an hour later the old count, cheerful and contented, arrived from the club. Nikolai, hearing his arrival, went to him.
- Well, did you have fun? said Ilya Andreich, smiling joyfully and proudly at his son. Nikolai wanted to say yes, but he could not: he almost sobbed. The count lit his pipe and did not notice the state of his son.
"Oh, inevitably!" Nikolai thought for the first and last time. And suddenly, in the most careless tone, such that he seemed disgusting to himself, as if he was asking the carriage to go to the city, he said to his father.
- Dad, I came to you for business. I had and forgot. I need money.
"That's it," said the father, who was in a particularly cheerful spirit. “I told you that it won’t. Is it a lot?
“A lot,” said Nikolai, blushing and with a stupid, careless smile, which for a long time later he could not forgive himself. - I lost a little, that is, even a lot, a lot, 43 thousand.
- What? To whom?... You're kidding! shouted the Count, suddenly blushing apoplectically on his neck and the back of his head, as old people blush.
“I promised to pay tomorrow,” Nikolai said.
“Well!” said the old count, spreading his arms and sank helplessly on the sofa.
- What to do! Who hasn't this happened to? - said the son in a cheeky, bold tone, while in his soul he considered himself a scoundrel, a scoundrel who could not atone for his crime all his life. He would like to kiss his father's hands, on his knees to ask for his forgiveness, and he casually and even rudely said that this happens to everyone.

"Creating a set of tools for automating the processes of development and optimization of parallel programs"

Laboratory parallel information technologies(Head Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Vl.V.Voevodin). The purpose of research and development carried out in the laboratory is to create scientific and software solutions in the field of ensuring the efficiency of supercomputer centers of small, medium and high performance levels, as well as promising centers of ultra-high performance. The project creates a set of methods and software tools aimed at ensuring the efficiency of the functioning of existing computing systems and supercomputing centers of the future. This will speed up research in such areas as the oil and gas sector, engineering, production of new materials, ecology, energy and others. The application of the results obtained in this project will have a positive impact on the development of not only the supercomputer industry, but also science, technology and industry as a whole. As a result of the work, prototypes of software and hardware solutions will be developed that will cover the most significant aspects of the functioning of a large supercomputer complex in terms of its use, administration and support for its operation.

To date, an analytical review of modern scientific and technical, regulatory, methodological literature, affecting the scientific and technical problem, has been completed. The review includes an analysis of existing research in 8 different areas and shows that, despite the relevance and the presence of a large number of works on the problem under consideration, at the moment there is no general approach to its solution. Various assessment methods have been developed that reflect the total amount of data that must be collected and analyzed to obtain detailed information about the state of modern supercomputers. On the basis of these methods, the corresponding assessments were made, which show the practical possibility of solving the tasks set within the framework of the project. The architecture of a prototype software system for ensuring the efficiency of the functioning of supercomputer centers has been developed and a set of its components has been determined. In the proposed architecture, the prototype consists of 4 connected logical blocks, each of which includes several components, often also interconnected. The proposed multi-component approach to the implementation of the prototype will allow, if necessary, to easily increase the functionality, as well as add new or improve existing components. The developed tools and components are being tested at the Supercomputer Center of Moscow State University.

"Creation and development of information systems for educational and administrative purposes of Moscow State University"

Laboratories information systems and laboratory information systems of mathematical sciences(Head of Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences O.D. Avraamova), laboratory organization and maintenance of databases(Head. Ph.D. A.D. Kovalev). In connection with the emergence of a new procedure for admission to universities, the AIS "Applicant" and its associated systems were modified - "Exam", designed to provide encryption when checking the written work of applicants, "Medosmotr", designed to dispatch the flow of applicants sent to the Moscow State University polyclinic, " Olympiad”, used to support school Olympiads held by the university. A web-based system for the formation and printing of applications for applicants from all faculties and the formation of a structured data file has been created. The corresponding adapter for receiving structured data is built into the "Applicant" system.

The AIS "Preparatory Department" was modernized due to a change in the rules for admission and training at the PO.

The subsystem “Faculty of Military Education” was developed and implemented as a module of the unified system of the educational complex, which allows to keep records of students enrolled in various programs at the Faculty of Military Education, in the context of their current academic status at the main faculty, as well as to assign additional scholarships due to them.

The development of the web module "MFC" has been carried out, which allows for independent online registration of students for interfaculty training courses. Adapters for automated exchange of data on the nomenclature of training courses, the contingent of students and their grades are implemented in the MFC and Student systems.

The module "Curriculum" added the ability to print from the system the form of the third generation curriculum in English (in hours and credit units). The structure of the classifier of subjects of Moscow State University, which has over 25 thousand positions, has been modernized in order to adapt the model of interfaculty courses.

A mechanism has been created for transferring archived data from AIS Student to an auxiliary database in order to limit the number of personal data subjects.

The Postgraduate system based on the 1C Enterprise platform was created and put into operation, designed to account for the contingent of graduate students, doctoral students, residents and trainees of Moscow State University. Work has been carried out to consolidate data from various sources in order to initially fill the system database. More than 30 faculties are connected to the system.

The AIS "Pedagogical workload" was developed, which allows taking into account more than 50 types of pedagogical work in accordance with the standards of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation. It implements the ability to generate a general report on the teaching load with a user-defined grouping of data into sections and subsections of the report with the possibility of detailing each position down to an individual teacher and course.

The consolidation of data on budgetary staffing positions in the automated information system “Staffing and Personnel of Moscow State University”, developed by the Research and Development Center, is being completed. A system for authenticating AIS users with the help of hardware protection devices has been put into operation.

Employees of the laboratory organizing and maintaining databases regularly performed payroll calculations for university employees. The safety and security of information in databases containing the results of calculations and information about employees necessary for performing calculations and preparing regulated reports was ensured. Work was carried out on the preparation of reporting documents on paper and machine media for transfer to the pension fund and tax inspections in accordance with the requirements of the labor legislation of the Russian Federation. Regular consultations were provided to employees of the accounting departments of the Moscow State University departments on all aspects of payroll.

Work was continued to ensure the automated exchange of personnel information between the system "Staffing and Personnel of Moscow State University" and the payroll system "1C Salary and Personnel of a Budgetary Institution" operated at the Research and Development Center. Previously developed software tools for importing orders for admissions, dismissals, personnel transfers and personal data of employees prepared in the MSU Staffing and Personnel system were used. The previously developed software tools were upgraded taking into account the results of their operation.

"Mathematical models and experiment in electrodynamics and magnetohydrodynamics"

Laboratory computational experiment and simulation(Head Prof. A.V.Tikhonravov). As part of the implementation of the approved R&D topics in 2014, the laboratory staff continued to develop highly efficient algorithms for designing dispersive mirrors designed to work in various devices for generating and processing ultrashort pulses.

The study of the behavior of a broadband monitoring system under various modes and parameters of deposition of multilayer optical coatings is continued. Work continued on improving the technique for determining the parameters of layers of complex multilayer mirrors for innovative laser applications based on

1) on-line broadband monitoring data;

2) spectrophotometric data and

3) group delay and group delay dispersion measurements.

The effectiveness of the technique has been proven on a wide range of experimental data obtained in cooperation with foreign partners.

Within the framework of the topic devoted to modeling the magnetic fields of galaxies, the role of random fluctuations in the formation and evolution of a known large-scale phenomenon, the solar magnetic activity cycle, was studied. It turned out that the control parameters of the solar dynamo, which is the physical cause of the cycle, are burdened with noise, which leads to a long-term evolution of the cycle on scales of tens and hundreds of cycles. In addition, noise components become significant during some phases of the cycle, most notably during magnetic field reversal. As a result, the stochastic component of the solar cycle turns out to be much more significant than the stochastic components of more traditional physical phenomena.

As part of the creation of models and algorithms for processing data from spectroscopic analysis, the development of a program for modeling the optical properties of thin films, based on the results of molecular modeling, continued. Methods for numerical simulation of the process of atomic deposition on a substrate are implemented in the form of a software package that allows simulation on a computing cluster with a large number of processor cores using parallel simulation technologies. The main attention is paid to modeling the optical parameters of amorphous substances and directly thin-layer structures. A program has been developed for calculating the optical properties (refractive and extinction coefficients) of thin films, which makes it possible to take into account the inhomogeneity of the deposited structures. Mathematical models are formulated and investigated that relate the parameters of the atomistic structure of the deposited coating with the refractive and absorption coefficients of the substance. The possibilities of calculating the complex permittivity using quantum chemistry methods (based on the VASP software package) are investigated. The optical properties of thin layers obtained as a result of molecular modeling have been calculated.

"Computational and information technologies for mathematical modeling of natural and anthropogenic changes in climate and the natural environment"

Laboratory supercomputer modeling of natural and climatic processes(Head Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences V.N. Lykosov). Research work in the laboratory was carried out on the topic "Computational and information technologies for mathematical modeling of natural and anthropogenic changes in climate and the natural environment." The main attention was paid to research in the following areas.

In order to further develop climate models in the direction of creating models of the Earth system, together with the Institute of Computational Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, on the basis of a simple 5-component statement, a computational block of a local plasma-chemical model of the D-layer of the ionosphere was developed. The properties of the differential problem are investigated, the convergence of the solution to a stationary point determined by the total charge is shown, as well as the continuous dependence of the solution on the parameters of the system. An efficient semi-implicit numerical scheme for solving the system is constructed, which has a charge conservation law. The primary identification of a joint model of the troposphere-stratosphere-mesosphere and the D-layer of the ionosphere is carried out based on the use of data from direct local measurements and empirical models of vertical electron density profiles. The problem of radio wave propagation in the D-layer of the ionosphere is considered, the model is identified by data on the absorption of short-wave waves and monitoring of medium- and long-wave radio signals. Satisfactory reproduction of the climatic characteristics of the D-layer of the ionosphere and the possibility of developing the presented model for application in applied problems are shown.

Within the framework of the second direction, devoted to the study of regional natural and climatic processes, the one-dimensional model of the reservoir is supplemented by the parametrization of biochemical processes involving oxygen, carbon dioxide, and methane. The model also includes a parameterization of seiches. Numerical experiments were carried out to simulate methane emission from lakes in the Seida area (Komi Republic). With the help of a regional atmospheric model, an analysis was made of the sensitivity of a mesoscale eddy disturbance to stratification, background flow velocity, water-air temperature difference, and turbulent closure.

The third direction is related to the development of a finite-difference eddy-resolving model designed to reproduce the statistical characteristics of turbulence in geophysical boundary layers at high values ​​of the Reynolds number. The model of the atmospheric boundary layer includes a block for calculating the Lagrangian transfer of tracers. A simple algorithm is proposed that requires much less computational costs compared to the known stochastic models of "subgrid" transport and allows transporting tens of billions of particles simultaneously with the calculation of turbulent dynamics. An eddy-resolving model is used to determine the trace of scalar flows from an inhomogeneous surface on the example of modeling turbulent flows over inhomogeneous natural landscapes (on the example of small-scale lakes surrounded by forests). Such modeling makes it possible to refine the methods of carrying out natural measurements over the water surface near the shore. Numerical simulations of the turbulent Couette flow under conditions of stable density stratification and in the range of Reynolds numbers from 5200 to 100 thousand are performed. Estimates are obtained for the characteristics of the turbulent flow regime in the range of parameters extended in comparison with the results of studies known from the literature based on direct numerical simulation.

"Research on the issues of building embedded telecommunication applications of increased reliability based on modern trunk-modular systems"

Laboratory mobile and embedded software systems(Head of Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences I.V. Pochinok). AdvancedTCA (ATCA) is an open architecture cluster system primarily designed for telecommunications applications. Physically, the ATCA system is a collection of boards and modules located in the chassis. Modules can be added, removed, and replaced during system operation without powering down the chassis. The chassis provides all boards and modules with a common power supply, a common cooling system and a set of signal lines for interaction between modules using standard network protocols.

For ATCA systems, software has been developed that provides support for various aspects of the system's operation: improved visual means for displaying the hardware-software environment of the system structure, viewing the status of sensors, viewing and editing information about the system modules. Visual tools are supplemented with diagnostic tools for the status of modules; the set of functional blocks of the language for describing the hardware and software environment of the system has been expanded; a mechanism for updating the software of the chassis control module and board control modules has been implemented.

"Creation and software implementation of methods and algorithms for solving problems of numerical analysis"

Laboratory automation of software computing systems(Head Prof. O. B. Arushanyan). A quasilinear model of the inverse Stefan problem is proposed, which in the thermophysical interpretation consists in determining the temperature field, the phase front (for example, the melting front), and the convective heat transfer coefficient from the temperature distribution and front position specified at the final time. The global bifurcation of bifurcation and multiple buckling of a system with a pair of strong irrational nonlinear renewal forces, which are called a smooth and discontinuous oscillator, are studied. It is shown that the SD-oscillator admits complex bifurcations of codimension three with two parameters at the catastrophe point. A numerical analysis of a semilinear parabolic problem in a Banach space is carried out. The problem of constructing a discrete dichotomy in a general setting is formulated and shading theorems are proved, which allow one to compare solutions of a continuous problem with its discrete approximations in space and time. A new regularization method for the inverse problem of heat conduction (historical climate problem) has been developed, which makes it possible to apply the Fourier method for its solution. Unlike other methods, the proposed method does not lead to an increase in the order of the regularized differential equation. The correctness of the regularized problem is proved and estimates for the solution are obtained. An approximate analytical method for solving the Cauchy problem for systems of ordinary differential equations is proposed. The method is based on orthogonal expansions of the solution and its derivatives entering into differential equations in a series in terms of shifted Chebyshev polynomials of the 1st kind. It is shown that on nonrigid problems the method has high accuracy characteristics and greater stability in comparison with classical one-step and multi-step methods for the numerical solution of differential equations.

"Development and application of high-performance computational methods of molecular modeling for solving physical, physico-chemical,

biophysical and medical problems"

Laboratory computing systems and applied programming technologies(Head. Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences V.B. Sulimov). The stage of development of urokinase inhibitors (uPA) has been completed - in cooperation with the Faculty of Fundamental Medicine. The goal is to develop a new anticancer drug based on new inhibitors of the proteolytic center of urokinase. An original low molecular weight urokinase inhibitor with an activity of about IC50 = 5 micromoles was obtained.

For the first time, a new quantum-chemical semi-empirical method PM7 was applied for post-processing in the development of new inhibitors, in particular, urokinase. This method is interesting because for the first time among all existing semi-empirical methods, corrections for dispersion intermolecular interactions and for hydrogen bonds, which are absent in other semi-empirical methods, are taken into account in a self-consistent way. It has been shown that the PM7 method describes the protein–ligand interaction better than the MMFF94 force field used until recently.

Using the original FLM (Find Local Minima) direct generalized docking program, a detailed study of the reliability of ligand positioning was carried out by finding the spectrum of low-energy local minima of the protein-ligand system using several different objective functions and comparing the found positions with the experimental ones. The studies were carried out on 16 protein-ligand complexes containing various proteins and ligands. It was found that taking into account the solvent in the continuum model during the docking process significantly improves the accuracy of ligand positioning. It has also been shown that the use of the PM7 semi-empirical quantum-chemical method gives better positioning results than the use of the MMFF94 force field.

Methods, algorithms and programs have been developed, incl. and for supercomputers, for the application of Bayesian network technology in the field of personalized medicine expert systems. An original method for optimizing Bayesian networks by the number of nodes has been developed, and for several diseases it has been shown that it can significantly improve the quality of predicting adverse outcomes for patients, as well as identify parameters critical for predicting the condition of patients. This approach was applied to predict the outcome of breast cancer in collaboration with the Moscow State University of Medicine and Dentistry. A.I. Evdokimova (responsible G.P. Gens), and as a result, the corresponding prognostic models were developed and the most important prognostic factors were identified.

"Development of effective mathematical methods for modeling nonlinear problems in optics and acoustics"

Laboratory mathematical modeling(Head Prof. Ya.M. Zhileikin). The nonlinear excitation of an acoustic wave by two pump waves in a three-phase marine sediment, which consists of a solid frame and a liquid phase containing air cavities, is studied. The interaction of waves was considered in the frequency range where there is a significant dispersion of the speed of sound. A numerical study was made of the dependence of the amplitude of the excited wave on the distance and on the resonant frequencies of the cavities. Methods for the numerical solution of integral equations using Galerkin-type methods are studied. To solve the equations, wavelet transforms, methods of orthogonal bases and quadratures were used. Discrete wavelet transforms of Haar, Shannon and Daubechies have been studied, which are widely used in smoothing perturbed values ​​and detailed analysis of time-frequency signals. Further study of effective numerical methods for mathematical modeling of the propagation of high-power optical pulses and beams in media with various types of nonlinearity and initial intensity distribution was continued. Laboratory staff continue to carry out work together with the information systems laboratory: maintenance of information management systems of Moscow State University and the 1C system (creation of remote access points), preparation of related documentation for automated information systems "Personnel of Moscow State University", "Staffing of Moscow State University" and "Aspirant".

"Linguistic modeling of non-standard texts and the problem of choosing an adequate model for describing various language levels and processes"

Laboratory automated lexicographic systems(Head. Ph.D. in Philology O.A. Kazakevich). In 2014, the laboratory celebrated its 50th anniversary. It was founded in 1964 as a laboratory of structural typology of languages ​​and linguistic statistics on the initiative of B.A. Uspensky and V.M. Andryushchenko. Initially, it was at the Department of German for Humanities faculties, then it was briefly transferred to the Institute of Oriental Languages, and in 1968 it became inter-faculty, while receiving a new name - the Laboratory of Computational Linguistics. Under this name, in 1979 it became part of the NIVTs structure and in 1988 received its current name. The laboratory has established itself as a serious linguistic center in Moscow, maintaining a high scientific level to this day.

An anniversary scientific conference was held (April 22, http://www.lcl.srcc.msu.ru). An article by O.A. Kazakevich and S.F. Chlenova about the history and modern directions of laboratory research was published (Bulletin of the Russian State Humanitarian University. No. 8. Series "Philological Sciences. Linguistics" / Moscow Linguistic Journal. V. 16. M., 2014).

Three topics have been completed, supported by grants from the Russian Foundation for Humanities and the Russian Foundation for Basic Research.

Kazakevich; junior researcher M.I. Vorontsova , junior researcher Yu.E.Galyamina, programmers D.M.Vakhoneva, T.E.Reutt, A.V.Chvyrev, E.L.Klyachko, L.R.Pavlinskaya, K.K.Polivanov, I.N.Rostunova). A multimedia Internet resource has been created, presenting materials on three small languages ​​of Siberia - Selkup, Ket and Evenki: http://siberian-lang.srcc.msu.ru.

Project "Expedition to the Selkups and Evenks of the Turukhansky District of the Krasnoyarsk Territory" (RGNF, leader O.A. Kazakevich; programmer D.M. Vakhoneva, students of the Russian State University for the Humanities and St. Petersburg State University). An expedition to the Turukhansk region was carried out, during which unique linguistic and sociolinguistic material was collected on the disappearing dialects of the Selkups of Turukhan and the Evenks of Sovetskaya Rechka (http://siberian-lang.srcc.msu.ru/expeditions).

“Scientific project for conducting an expedition to document the Evenk dialects of Uchami and Yukta. Evenki Municipal District of the Krasnoyarsk Territory (RFBR, director O.A. Kazakevich; programmer D.M. Vakhoneva; L.M. Zakharov, E.L. Klyachko). An expedition was carried out to the Evenki municipal district, during which valuable linguistic and sociolinguistic material was collected on the Evenk dialects of the settlements of Uchami and Yukta (http://siberian-lang.srcc.msu.ru/expeditions).

“Research and development of lattice representation models and computational methods for processing objects of geometric and topological structure

in computer visualization systems"

Laboratory computer visualization(Head Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences G.G. Ryabov). Based on the theory of representations, the definition of a symbolic matrix over a finite alphabet A=(0,1,2) is introduced as a bijection of complexes of k-faces in an n-cube. Methods and algorithms for reducing such matrices to k-diagonal form are studied. A number of new properties of such matrices and, first of all, the property of ergodicity when mapping matrices into a sequence of states of homogeneous Markov chains for one family of random matrices of transition probabilities are proved. For the first time in the framework of the direction of algebraic combinatorics (Stanley, Vershik, Okounkov), a measure of combinatorial filling between classes of isomorphic shortest paths in the n-cube was introduced and calculated. A method of conic-oriented mapping of n-cube structures into a 3d polyhedron is proposed and tested to improve the visual analysis of multidimensional structures in an interactive mode.

"Inverse Problems of Synthesis of Flat Computer Optics"

Laboratory development of image processing automation systems(Head Prof. A.V. Goncharsky). As part of the ongoing research topic, the task of developing methods for automated verification of the authenticity of nano-optical elements for protecting banknotes was solved. The principles of formation of the structure of nano-optical elements and security features that are invariant with respect to the shift of the optical security element relative to the control device have been developed. The use of nanooptical elements that form an image asymmetric with respect to the zeroth order makes it possible to reliably protect nanooptical elements from imitation or forgery. Protective features are proposed that allow for automated control that is invariant with respect to rotation in a given range of angles.

Together with FSUE GOZNAK, a patent was obtained for the “Method of paper control and a device for its implementation (variants)”. The invention relates to technologies for controlling paper (including bank notes) with optical security elements.

Another direction of the laboratory's work on the topic "Inverse problems of the synthesis of flat computer optics" is the development of nano-optical elements for the formation of 3D images. The method of mathematical modeling determined the optimal parameters of optical elements that form 3D images for visual inspection.

As part of the work on ultrasonic tomography, research was carried out to develop algorithms for solving coefficient inverse problems for three-dimensional hyperbolic equations on supercomputers on graphic cards. The following main results were obtained:

Efficient algorithms and numerical methods for solving direct and inverse 3D problems with a full range of data, oriented to the use of GPUs, have been developed.

Software was developed and model calculations were carried out on the Lomonosov supercomputer on small computational grids.

The calculation results showed both the promise of three-dimensional (3D) tomography in comparison with layered (2.5D) tomography in the case of wave probing, and the advantages of using graphics processors compared to general-purpose processors. The specificity of solving the inverse problems under consideration is associated with the need for multiple calculations of wave propagation in an inhomogeneous medium. Such calculations have a high degree of data parallelism. The GPU architecture allows the entire task to be “placed” in the high-performance graphics memory of the device and processed in parallel, resulting in 20-30 times higher performance than with a conventional computer architecture.

"Construction of simulation models of economic and financial activities and the creation of computer business games on their basis"

The Computing Center of Moscow State University was established in 1955 on the basis of the Department of Computers of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics. It was the first computer center in the system of universities and one of the first in our country in general. The creation of a computer center at Moscow State University was caused by the need to train a large number of highly qualified specialists in the field of computational sciences, as well as specialists who can solve complex scientific and national economic problems using the most modern computer technology.

The organizer and the first director of the computer center was Professor of Moscow State University Ivan Semenovich Berezin. I. S. Berezin not only created the Exhibition Center, but also determined the style of its work and traditions for many years. The fundamental principles of the functioning of the Computing Center are: attraction of highly qualified scientific and engineering personnel; use of modern computer technology; conducting research at the highest level; active participation in the pedagogical process; introduction into practice of advanced technologies for the use of computers.

Pretty soon the computer center acquired the status of a major scientific center. Already in the first years, the most important national economic problems related to meteorology, the launch of rockets and artificial Earth satellites, manned space flights, aerodynamics, electrodynamics, structural analysis, mathematical economics, etc. were solved. Great success was also achieved in solving theoretical problems. problems of numerical analysis and programming. For these and other works, a number of employees of the computer center were awarded orders and medals, awarded the Lomonosov Prizes of Moscow State University, the State Prize of the USSR and the Prize of the Council of Ministers of the USSR.

The computer center has always played a significant role in the dissemination of advanced computer technologies. The forms of this distribution were very different. This is the provision of scientific and technical advice, the provision of computer time, the exchange of experience, and assistance in solving specific problems. The latter type of activity led to the creation in the computer center of the largest library of numerical analysis programs in our country.

The Computing Center paid and continues to pay special attention to the dissemination of advanced technologies for the use of computers in Moscow University itself. In addition to the forms of distribution listed above, specific ones have also arisen, associated with the huge size of the university. Such a large university is difficult to manage. Therefore, back in the early 1970s, the computer center took the initiative to create an automated information service at Moscow State University. In a short time, the systems "Student", "Applicant", and some others were developed and implemented, without which it is now impossible to imagine either the educational process, or the admission of students, or much more. The information service of Moscow State University is currently at the forefront of the interests of the computing center.

The computer center has always been equipped with the most advanced domestic technology. Already in December 1956. the first serial domestic machine "Strela" was installed in the exhibition center. By the way, many modern ideas were implemented in it. Speaking in today's language, it had special processors for the rapid execution of short programs, programming was carried out in terms of now fashionable vector operations, and so on. In 1961, the M-20 machine was installed, in 1966 - BESM-4. By 1981, four BESM-6s, two ES-1022s, Minsk-32, two Mir-2 computers, and the world's first lampless computer Setun with a ternary number system, developed at the CC, operated at the CC.

To ensure the effective use of computer technology, highly qualified specialists are needed. And not so much an engineering profile, but in the field of programming, numerical methods, mathematical modeling, etc. That is why the main computer technology was concentrated precisely in the computer center, where there were the necessary personnel with the necessary qualifications. However, the remoteness of Moscow State University departments from each other and from the Computing Center made access to computers much more difficult. In the mid-1970s, this led to the idea of ​​creating a system of collective use at Moscow State University. Its main elements were to be a global network connecting the departments of Moscow State University with each other, and coordination of work at Moscow State University in the field of the use of computer technology. The computer center became the lead organization in solving this problem. For many reasons, the problem posed has not been completely solved, but so far it has not lost its relevance.

The Computing Center has various contacts with all subdivisions of Moscow State University. But the closest interaction has always been with the Department of Computational Mathematics, headed by A.N. Tikhonov. Academician Andrei Nikolayevich Tikhonov was the scientific director of the Moscow State University Computing Center for almost a quarter of a century. This was the period of the formation of computational sciences at Moscow University. At this time, the computing center was most strongly associated with the pedagogical process. The employees of the EC read basic and special courses, conducted practical classes, organized terminal classes and taught students the basics of using computers. In the first years after the creation of the Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics of Moscow State University, most of the teaching work at it was carried out by employees of the Computing Center. Many former employees of the CC work at the faculty of VMIK even now.

The status of the computer center has changed several times. From 1955 to 1972 it was an institution that was part of the Department of Computational Mathematics of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics. From 1972 to 1982 it was an institute within the Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics and was named Research Computing Center of Moscow State University. In 1982, the NIVC was separated from the faculty of the VMIK and became one of the institutes of Moscow University. He reports directly to the administration.

After prof. I. S. Berezina, the directors of the computer center at various times were Corr. V. V. Voevodin, prof. E. A. Grebenikov, associate professor V. M. Repin. Currently, the director of the Research and Development Center of Moscow State University is Professor, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Alexander Vladimirovich Tikhonravov.
