The space cluster of Skolkovo took in a non-profile project of the company Multiclet on launching the unique multicellular microprocessor into series production, the newspaper Izvestia reports.

The company Multiclet has already developed test samples and produced a test batch of microprocessors in Indonesia.

Developers invested into the project $11m and expect to get a $1m grant on development, and then more larger grants of development of soft and organization of series production.

First Multiclet became a participant of the Skolkovo’s IT-cluster. But there the project did not arouse interest, probably because the project was not aimed at making “hardware”. As a result, last week Multiclet moved to the space cluster, where it expected to get interest from producers of GLONASS reception devices, telecommunication companies and producers of supercomputers.

Multiclet has developed its own principle of operation of microprocessor, radically different from the so-called von Neumann architecture, which is at the basis of processors by the market leaders Intel and AMD.

“We have a breakthrough technology – our multicellular architecture is not letter-based but hieroglyph-based, in which cells are included into specific operation. In this case memory use is ten times less, which saves energy, speeds performance of the operator, results in less heating and decreases costs on cooling of multi-nucleus systems. Now cooling systems are quite large in size, and our processor solves this problem. In space industry defect-resistance is important. If one of our nucleuses fails due to space radiation or temperature drop, the system will work a bit slower but will continue operating,” Boris Zyryanov, the head of Multiclet, said.
