Abstract
Author describes developers of supercomputers in Russia. The situation of a significant predominance of the field of science and education in the use of supercomputers in Russia was created artificially. Author believes that it will gradually improve in the natural process of state development. Due to the fact that the limit of miniaturization of the elemental base on the basis of silicon complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technologies is approaching, i.e. the end of Moore’s law is approaching (in the region of 2024, currently 22nm, the expected limit is 5 nm in 2020), in foreign countries, parallel to exaflops projects, work is underway on the promising element-design base of the Post-Moore’s era. New application areas may require the creation of cluster supercomputers that differ from most modern ones oriented to high-performance computing, as well as supercomputers that differ from cluster ones, i.e. on a special element base and other special solutions, both in hardware and in software. This, in fact, is happening now in the United States and China. Author shows examples of the development in the world and in Russia of new applied areas for the use of supercomputer resources and these resources themselves. A complete solution to the protection problem is the development of supercomputers with hardware-based security levels for programs and data.

The main threats to Russian supercomputers, according to the authors, come from the used imported element base, imported server boards, as well as software, especially virtualization and cloud computing: a) As noted, it is known about the work on embedding bookmarks in the GPU in China and Taiwan (TSMC), as well as the United States
Summary
In foreign reviews on supercomputer topics, T-platforms and Russian companies (Russian supercomputers) are mentioned as the main developers. The successes of the young T-platform company are significant, largely determined by the brilliant management and support of government agencies, but we need to more critically evaluate its scientific and technical potential Is he really great (the company is not even ten years old, there is no scientific school) to consider this company as a monopolist (what it claims to be) that alone can cope with the competition with foreign companies in the Russian market and determine the direction of work in Andrey Molyakov: Science Innovation Review: Developers of Supercomputers in Russia. The Russian Supercomputer industry, the existence of which they are talking about, but even after analyzing the Top, there are strong doubts about this For these reasons, in order to objectively assess the situation in the field of supercomputer technologies in Russia and give recommendations for further development, it is necessary to consider not so public developers. There is such material, but in this work, the authors considered its inclusion unnecessary [2]
