Abstract
Supercomputing technologies have a lot of aspects, and, speaking of their serious support at the state level, it is necessary to create and develop all elements of a supercomputing infrastructure, not focusing only on its individual components. In this paper, we discuss all basic elements of this infrastructure and illustrate the extreme demand for it in Russia, where only the list of tasks published by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation contains more than 700 problems that require supercomputing resources for their solution. Many researchers have worked in this field; however, in this paper, we overview only the results achieved by some prominent Russian scientists from the Moscow State University, to which M.R. Shura-Bura devoted a significant part of his life.
