Abstract: Author describes developers of supercomputers in Russia. The situation of a significant predominance of the field of science and education in the use of supercomputers in Russia was created artificially. Author believes that it will gradually improve in the natural process of state development. Due to the fact that the limit of miniaturization of the elemental base on the basis of silicon complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technologies is approaching, i.e. the end of Moore’s law is approaching (in the region of 2024, currently 22nm, the expected limit is 5 nm in 2020), in foreign countries, parallel to exaflops projects, work is underway on the promising element-design base of the Post-Moore’s era. New application areas may require the creation of cluster supercomputers that differ from most modern ones oriented to high-performance computing, as well as supercomputers that differ from cluster ones, i.e. on a special element base and other special solutions, both in hardware and in software. This, in fact, is happening now in the United States and China. Author shows examples of the development in the world and in Russia of new applied areas for the use of supercomputer resources and these resources themselves. A complete solution to the protection problem is the development of supercomputers with hardware-based security levels for programs and data.
