2 Introduction Distributed high performance computing environment of UrB RAS is the infrastructure for eScience (cyberinfrastructure) Users: 40 Research Institutes of UrB RAS in 7 regions (Yekaterinburg, Arkhangelsk, Syktyvkar, Orenburg, Perm, Izhevsk, Chelyabinsk) Universities Industrial enterprises Project participations: Institute of Mathematics and Mechanics UrB RAS (IMM UrB RAS) – computational recourses and information systems Institute of Сontinuous Мedia Мechanics UrB RAS (ICMM UrB RAS) – backbone networks Supported by grants of UrB RAS No 12-P , RCP Urb RAS No RCP-12-I21

3 Overview High performance computing environment of UrB RAS consists of 4 parts: Computational resources Storage Networks Cloud platform

4 Computational resources Main computational resources are installed at the Supercomputer center of IMM UrB RAS: Supercomputer URAN, peak performance 160 TFlops, 5 th position in the TOP50 Computational resources in the regional scientific centers of UrB RAS Connection using Grid technologies (Globus) and SLURM

5 Example tasks Calculation of launching of a carrier rocket (Sojuz-2 and Rus- M) into orbit (Avtomatika, Yekaterinburg) Remote sensing image processing (Uralgeoinform) Aero-engine computational fluid dynamics (Aviodvigatel, Perm)

6 Example tasks Молекулярно-динамическое моделирование и восстановление межчастичных потенциалов UO2–PuO2 для прогнозирования поведения ядерного топлива в процессах изготовления, эксплуатации и переработки Моделирования внутренней динамики Земли и других планет с целью изучения истории и перспектив их развития Создание математической модели сердца, отличающейся от существующих применением уникальной модели сократительного процесса мышечных волокон. Ее использование в вычислительном эксперименте позволит решить целый ряд проблем актуальных для современной кардиологии Синтез диаграмм направленности антенных решеток с двойным фазовым управлением для задач навигации автономных летательных аппаратов Разработка in silico новых противоопухолевых, противовоспалительных и антиаритмических лекарственных средств
