Six major Russian supercomputer centers located across the country have teamed up to form the 'Distributed Scientific Supercomputer Infrastructure' consortium, reports the Russian Academy of Sciences. This new alliance aims to pool resources for the performance needed to process modern scientific workloads. In total, the six supercomputing centers have around 900 servers and these fleets cannot be upgraded due to the U.S. sanctions. To that end, pooling resources is largely a forced measure. Meanwhile, DSSI has a plan to collectively upgrade their hardware.
