Initially, the computer consisted of a main section of 4160 4-core Intel x86-64 [|Xeon 5570] processors, and a second section including 260 X5570 and local hard drives, [|Blade2 server] nodes interconnected by [|InfiniBand] [|quad data rate] [|serial links]. In 2011, the Lomonosov computer was supplemented with 777 nodes equipped with GPU-based [|NVIDIA Tesla X2070] accelerators, and in 2012 further expanded with 288 nodes of Xeon X5570/X5670 processors and GPU accelerators. || toc =Performance= As of 2012, the Lomonosov Supercomputer has 52,168 x86-64 and 954,840 GPU cores with 92 [|TiB] of triple-channel [|DDR3 SD] memory modules, resulting in a peak performance of 1.7 [|PFlops], and a [|Linpack performance] of 901.9 TFlops. [|Operating system] is the Linux based //ClustrX//. The Lomonosov supercomputer includes a three-tier storage with high-speed [|disks] of 500 TB running under the [|Lustre] [|parallel file system], a high-speed, highly-reliable 300TB disk storage, and a 1PB [|robotic tape storage].

=Lomonosov Tablebases= One scientific as well as commercial research application using the Lomonosov Supercomputer was the generation of the 7-men Lomonosov Tablebases headed by Victor Zakharov and Vladimir Makhnychev. As of December 31, 2013, the tablebases are commercially available online through ChessOk products.
