2023: Testing in Games
On January 21, 2023, the authors of the Elbrus PC Play YouTube channel published a video in which they demonstrated the work of such games as "S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: The Call of Pripyat," The Dark Mod, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Gothic II, Cuisine Royale and Sonic Robo Blast Kart 2 on a computer with an Elbrus 8. processor.
In addition to the most eight-core chip with a clock speed of 1.5 GHz, the test platform included 32 GB of DDR4 RAM (ECC) and a Radeon RX 580 desktop graphics card. The PC was running the Elbrus OS 7.1 operating system on the Linux 5.4 kernel.
The results in the games were as follows:
- The Dark Mod - you can play comfortably at low graphics settings. The frame rate jumped from 40 to 60 FPS. Sometimes the game was eliminated;
- S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat - the game is played at minimum settings in 10 FPS. The game hung several times (had to be rebooted);
- Cuisine Royale - No sorties found. Stable 30-50 FPS;
- Sonic Kart - the game went to 60 FPS without freezes and lags;
- CS: GO - at the minimum settings, the chip gave out 10 FPS, sometimes the game flew out, but with special settings it was possible to achieve 30 FPS;
- The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - in most locations, the frame rate in the game exceeded 60 fps and even reached 200 fps. However, in some places, for example, in the city, frame rate drawdowns occurred. In general, the authors of the YouTube channel were satisfied with the performance in the game, which, apparently, will be possible on a PC with an Elbrus-8SV processor and the Elbrus OS.
- "1C: Enterprise" - The authors of the channel also assessed the performance in the program "1C: Enterprise." It worked stably, but the transitions between sections took several seconds.
The author of the video noted that Elbrus-8SV was not initially positioned as a game solution, moreover, the tested games were originally "sharpened" for the x86 architecture. Nevertheless, a PC based on a Russian processor allows you to run some old hits, even despite its absence in the list of compatible hardware.[1]
2022
ReactOS Compatibility
Developers aimed operating system ReactOS at ensuring compatibility with programs and drivers Microsoft Windows managed to run a 64-bit ReactOS port on a system processor with Elbrus-8C1. This became known on August 9, 2022. More. here
Release of test batch of Sitronics Group servers on Elbrus-8СВ processor
On February 10, 2022, Sitronics Group (part of the AFK Sistema Group) announced that it had begun producing servers based on the domestic Elbrus processor. The first batch has been released for testing by potential customers. Read more here.
2021
Use of hi-end class for "Aerodisk Vostok" DSS of series
On September 15, 2021, Aerodisk announced that it was completing the development of a hi-end data storage system within the Vostok DSS product line.
The Aerodisk Vostok series is implemented on domestic Elbrus processors. Read more here.
Compatibility tests with the geo-information platform "BT and SS"
The VT and SS company (part of the RTI group of companies), a Russian developer of integrated security systems, situation centers and highly loaded information systems, announced on April 27, 2021 that it had tested the compatibility of its own geoinformation platform with Elbrus-8C processors. Read more here.
Tionix VDI Connect Compatibility
MCST and THIONIX tested the products for compatibility. Thionics announced this on March 11, 2021.
Tests have shown that software TIONIX it operates normally at automated workplaces with processors"- Elbrus1C+" and "Elbrus-8S" manufactured by "MCST." here More.
2020: Based on the ICST, BASEALT and TrueConf VKS solutions
On June 3, 2020, it became known that Trueconf, together with ICST and BASEALT, created a serial video conferencing system (VKS) built on completely domestic platforms - Elbrus processors, POTrueconf MCU and the Alt family OS.
The core of the VKS solution contains a classic software transcoding server for multi-point video conferencing - Trueconf MCU (Multipoint Control Unit). The hardware and software complex (PAC) of the VKS operates under the control of a special Linux distribution - the Alt Server operating system of BASEALT. This OS works in the main processor mode - Elbrus binary codes, and serves to store and transfer information in a protected software environment in round-the-clock operation mode.
Trueconf, together with ICST, are ready to offer customers turnkey PAC. If the customer already has an Elbrus platform and meets system requirements, the company's specialists will help install an MCU on it. Trueconf does not plan to lay out a special MCU assembly for free access at this stage.

2018
Server with submersible cooling at Elbrus-8C
On September 24, 2018, a server solution based on domestic eight-core Elbrus-8S processors appeared in Russia. During its creation, four such processors were combined among themselves by the Russian interconnect Angara, developed at the Research Center for Electronic Computing (NICEVT). The total size for all processors of RAM was 256 GB.
This server was clustered with a similar server based on four quad-core processors Elbrus-4C"" - also with "Angara." After that, this cluster was immersed in liquid for cooling - in a server box created by a Russian company Immers known on the market for its server solutions with immersion cooling.
The server on eight-core processors works on, OS Windows on quad-core - on. In AltLinux general, Russian software technologies of companies were ported to the cluster:
Blade server based on Elbrus
In February 2018, it became known about the plans of the Russian supercomputer company RSK at the end of the year to present on the market a commercial blade server solution based on domestic Elbrus processors.
According to Oleg Gorbachev, in 2017, the RSK solution based on Elbrus-4C was created, tested and debugged, but the company's commercial plans are related to the Elbrus-8C server processor.
 | A team of specialists from RSK, ICST and INEUM named after I.S. Brook has already developed a motherboard for it and released the first prototypes, - Gorbachev told CNews. - At the moment (as of mid-February 2018 - approx. TAdviser), the process of developing a RSK solution based on this platform is underway. |  |
It is planned that the solution will use the RSK's own developments, including a hot water liquid cooling system, a monitoring and management system, an integrated stack of RSK Basis software, power supply (units, etc.) and server farm management.
According to RSK experts, the theoretical performance of one computing node (blade server or blade) based on four Elbrus-8S processors will exceed 0.5 TFLOPS (in double accuracy).[3]
