Stony Brook University in New York has powered up the first Russian-built supercomputer ever deployed in the United States.

Western markets are of strategic importance to T-Platforms. Our German office is engaged in system and software research activities, with leading supercomputer centers including Leibnitz Rechenzentrum, Juelich Supercomputer Center, and CSC.
