Electronic Computing Technology Scientific-Research Center

The Electronic Computing Technology Scientific-Research Center is a research institute in Moscow focused on developing supercomputers, microprocessors, and system software for high-performance computing. The facility operates specialized laboratories with equipment designed for computer engineering and hardware development.

The center was founded in 1948 as a specialized design bureau within the Soviet Union's efforts to develop computing technology. Over decades, it evolved into a major research facility for supercomputer development and related technologies.

The institute represents a Russian approach to building computing power independently, with research visible in projects that shaped how technology is viewed as central to national capabilities. This legacy remains embedded in how the center operates today.

The institute is located in Moscow with specialized laboratories where advanced computer systems are developed and tested. Visitors should be aware that access may be restricted and advance arrangements or special permission may be needed to view the facilities.

The center develops the Angara supercomputer family, which relies on Russian-designed microprocessors and is built for extreme processing power and specialized applications. This makes it a rare example of high-performance technology development happening outside the typical Western research centers.
