The invitation, and decision of IT STAR’s Business meeting in Milan (29 October 2016), was to organize the WS on topics related to data processing towards the end of 2017 as part of the activities related to the Bulgarian EU Presidency during the first half of 2018. The BM in Milan also decided to convene an extraordinary meeting and commissioned its Chief Executive to proceed with the preparations. Mr. Nedkov conducted a series of consultations in April and May 2017 with member societies from Austria, Bulgaria, Hun- gary, Italy, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia. Unfortunately, a venue before September was not identified and the only option was to consider the possibility of holding both events in Bulgaria. An agreement was reached to organize the events at end of September. The WS was scheduled as a half-day event and three main topics were chosen: • IT STAR – Leading regional organization in the ICT field • The Bulgarian research landscape and cooperation in IT and High Performance Computing • Big Data and competences 3 organizations giving an extra multi-layer value to its find- ings. These are discussed and communicated widely as IT STAR Statements. The communications’ outreach is signif- icant and this benefits the IT STAR community. IT STAR has been successful in developing its conferences series and in having access to a publication base, which further promotes its outreach. It has also been instrumental in supporting the implementation of projects, notably the AICA – IT STAR Survey on Young Talent in Informatics. Mr. Nedkov felt that the benefits of IT STAR’s participation could be wrapped up as: • Regional focus, integrating effect • Multi-stakeholder input and benefit • Influential policy statements • Media outreach • Cost-efficiency (no membership fees, outstanding per- formance record) Acad. Blagovest Sendov, Former Speaker of the Bulgarian Parliament, Past President of BAS and IFIP, was honorary guest of the workshop. He had previously contributed to the Bulgarian Research Landscape and Cooperation in IT AICA – IT STAR Project on Young Talent in Informatics, and High Performance Computing and to several IT STAR conferences.

  • SETUN's Reflections
    – 1 – SETUN’s reflections How the SETUN computer was perceived in the “Western” scientific community “The work day began with ‘morning exercises’: Each employee of the laboratory, including the project man- ager, got five ferrite cores of a diameter of 3 millime- ter …” (N. P. Brusenzov)1 1. Introduction In 1958 the Russian engineer Nikolai P. Brusenzov and his small team constructed the world’s first and still unique ternary com- puter. The computer that was built at the Research Computing Laboratories of the Moscow State University (MSU) was named after a nearby small river, the SETUN’. Although the iron curtain divided Eastern from Western scientist, there was a huge interest on both sides to learn about each other’s progress in technology. Img. 1: N.P. The following research examines, how scientists of the “Western Brusenzov (2004) Block” learned of the existence of the SETUN computer and how the information was reflected in Western scientific publications. It seems, that the existence of the SETUN in the Soviet Union at least supported and sometimes even triggered the research in the “Western World” in the field of ter- nary logic, a subset of multi-valued logic. Though its’ constructor can not claim to be the first who thought about ternary logic and computing technology,2 the impact of SETUN’s’ existence should not be underestimated. In a summary on the develop- ment of multi-valued logic and computing technology given in 1977, Epstein/ Frieder/ Rine put it this way: “However, the SETUN computer awakened interest in subsystems such as arithmetic units [Haberlin/ Müller 1970, Yoeli/ Halpern 1968, Vranesic/ Hamacher 1971, Mine et.

A given ISA may be implemented with different microarchitectures.[1] Implementations might vary due to different goals of a given design or due to shifts in technology.[2] Computer architecture is the combination of microarchitecture and instruction set design. Relation to instruction set architecture The ISA is roughly the same as the programming model of a processor as seen by an assembly language programmer or compiler writer. The ISA includes the execution model, processor registers, address and data formats among other things. The Intel Core microarchitecture microarchitecture includes the constituent parts of the processor and how these interconnect and interoperate to implement the ISA. The microarchitecture of a machine is usually represented as (more or less detailed) diagrams that describe the interconnections of the various microarchitectural elements of the machine, which may be everything from single gates and registers, to complete arithmetic logic units (ALU)s and even larger elements.

Today is Wednesday, May 16th and we are at Intel in Moscow, Russia to conduct the oral history with Boris Babayan. Also present in the room are Lubov Gladkikh his assistant and Yuri Merling [ph?] the videographer. Thank you both for agreeing to do this oral history for the archive at the Computer History Museum today. Let’s start about talking about your childhood and would you give us your full name, where you were born, and tell us a little bit about your parents, if there are any siblings and what your childhood was like. Boris Babayan: I was born in 1933 in Baku, Azerbaijan, now it’s an independent state. My father was a technician, he was an electrical engineer, and my mother worked in the kindergarten. I finished 10 year secondary school in Baku and then moved in Moscow, where I entered the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. It seems to me that in Russia I definitely was the first student in computer science. Bochannek: Now, what made you want to go to Moscow to that institute? Were you interested in technical things? Babayan: Because I was interested in the technical education and some people told me that the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology is a very good institute, like MIT in the United States; it was established just after World War II, specially for education in the high tech.
