JINR Days in Armenia: interview with MLIT Director Scientific organizations in Armenia and the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna are discussing the possibility of creating a unified computing infrastructure that would allow them to jointly use supercomputing power and work with data from large-scale scientific experiments. This is not only about giving Armenian researchers access to Dubna’s computing resources, but also about combining computers located in different countries into a single distributed system. This was stated in an interview with NEWS.am Tech by Sergei Shmatov, Director of the JINR Meshcheryakov Laboratory of Information Technologies. According to him, the technical foundation for such cooperation already exists: Yerevan has its own computing facilities, while Dubna hosts one of the region’s largest scientific computing infrastructures. Dubna and Armenia want to combine supercomputers into a unified scientific network: What could this mean for science?
