Dorodnitsyn Computing Centre (Russian: Вычислительный центр им. А. А. Дородницына РАН), known as the Computing Centre of the Academy of Sciences (CC RAS) until 2015, is a research institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union. It was established in 1955.[1]

History

[edit]

The first resolution of the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences on the creation of a Computing Center was adopted on December 3, 1951. At the same time, the issue of the profile, structure and staff of the CC was decided. And already on August 3, 1954, a Resolution of the USSR Council of Ministers was adopted on the commissioning of the USSR Academy of Sciences Computing Center in 1955. On January 14, 1955, the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences discussed the report of S. A. Lebedev and the co-report of the Chairman of the Commission of the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Academician M. A. Lavrentyev, on the progress of implementing this resolution. By this time, ITMiVT had carried out work on preparing mathematical personnel for the computer center being created. It was decided to complete the construction of the Computing Center building in the 2nd quarter of 1955. Academicians I. M. Vinogradov (Director of the Steklov Mathematical Institute), S. A. Lebedev (Director of the Institute of Computer Science and Technology of the USSR Academy of Sciences) and A. A. were appointed responsible for preparing the organization of the Computing Center. Dorodnitsyn (at that time - deputy head of TsAGI for science and, concurrently, head of the sector of the department of applied mathematics of the Steklov Mathematical Institute.[incomprehensible]

At the same meeting of the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences, the tasks of the Computing Center were defined:[1]

  • Carrying out research work in the field of development, generalization and implementation of methods for solving mathematical problems using modern computer technology;
  • Performing large-scale computational work, primarily for institutions of the USSR Academy of Sciences;
  • Studying operational qualities and mastering new computer technology;
  • Management of planning and calculation of mathematical tables in the USSR.

The Computing Center of the USSR Academy of Sciences began its activities in February 1955, and Academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences Anatoly Dorodnitsyn was appointed its first director.

The personnel basis for the creation of the Computing Center was the department of applied mathematics of the Steklov Mathematical Institute (since 1951, the head of the sector of this department was also Dorodnitsyn) and a number of employees of ITMiVT. A competing proposal for the name of institutions of this type was the name “Institute of Cybernetics”, proposed by Academician Glushkov which the Kiev Institute of Cybernetics received.

Operations

[edit]

The main activity and task of the Computing Center of the Academy of Sciences is the creation of new mathematical algorithms and software technologies for the use of computer technology in scientific research and in the national economy. Its areas of research include:

The game Tetris was created by Alexey Pajitnov at the Computing Centre.

After 15 June 2015, CC RAS was included in Federal research centre "Informatic and Control" of RAS and now no longer exists as an independent institute.
