In the recently released list of Russia’s top 50 highest performance systems, NVIDIA GPUs — for the fifth time in a row — landed in the top spot with Moscow State University’s “Lomonosov” supercomputer. Overall, GPUs power three of the top 10 and nearly one-third of the top 50 systems on the list, which is issued twice yearly. It’s a remarkable stat considering that no GPU-accelerated systems were on the list just three years ago.

Thanks to an upgrade with NVIDIA Tesla GPUs in 2011, Lomonosov claims its spot easily. It delivers 1.7 petaflops of peak performance, making it the fastest accelerator-based supercomputer not just in Russia but in all of Europe. It was built to tackle major scientific challenges in areas such as magnetic hydrodynamics, quantum chemistry, seismology, drug discovery, geology and materials science.
 
They forgot nuclear reaction modeling, stealth engineering, encryption cracking, and organic weapons research through protein folding simulations.
 
Let me laugh while their very own president drools over a frickin' stand alone linux line emulator Reactos. We are real scared just like I bet they got a better army.
