How Russian Railways and the Federal Nuclear Center jointly develop software
In October 2014, Alexey Illarionov, vice president for information technology and management system development at Russian Railways, told TAdviser about the main areas of technological cooperation between his company and the Federal Nuclear Center in Sarov (RFNC-VNIIEF). According to him, such cooperation has been going on for many years, and its goal is to combine the experience of partners in the field of creating complex and large information systems to give the IT infrastructure of railway transport additional capabilities.
One of the systems jointly developed with Sarov specialists is automated system optimization of train traffic control processes and infrastructure maintenance railway transport based on predictive technologies. The system, in particular, calculates the optimal sufficiency of railway infrastructure resources for the timely delivery of goods at the optimal time. short terms and minimizes the influence of the human factor.
“With the help of this system, taking into account technological and technical limitations in real time, we calculate the optimal resource parameters that ensure the transportation process. On the scale of a company like Russian Railways, this is very important, since savings on even a small percentage of operations, and up to 5-6 million of them occur per day, means a significant figure in terms of costs,” explains Alexey Illarionov.
The source material for the development was, in particular, data on the cost of basic technological processes and unproductive losses. The system takes into account such indicators as: the current capacity of various sections of the railway network, processing capacity of stations, provision locomotive crews, optimal train schedule, etc.
This project has a network-wide scale, but for now the system is being tested at a pilot site - on the Gorky Railway. In the future, it is planned to expand the experimental site to the Northern and Oktyabrskaya railways, and then to the entire network railways Russia. The system software is deployed in the central data center, and calculations are carried out taking into account the correspondence that occurs throughout the entire railway network as a whole.
For this system, RFNC-VNIIEF specialists help create an algorithmic basis, layouts, and also ensure integration with other systems: for example, with a transactional database in order to receive a flow of information about the progress of operational work. Also for this project, RFNC-VNIIEF has developed a special computing complex to support the tasks being solved on parallel computing.
“It would be correct to call this project innovative and research, because the resource optimization problems that we are solving are very complex from the point of view of computational problems, and in the world they are solved to a very limited extent. And taking into account the specifics of Russian railways, many problems are even more difficult to solve,” says Alexey Illarionov.
Another large block joint work Russian Railways and the Sarov Nuclear Center could develop a stack of products based on open source software, both basic and applied, says Illarionov. The former include an operating system platform and a DBMS for various tasks(application servers, web applications, etc.), and application, for example, systems and software for transactional systems.
Representatives of the nuclear center told TAdviser in May 2014 that RFNC-VNIIEF was developing its own platform products based on open source software, and Russian Railways was reported to be joining this project later in August.
According to the vice president for IT and management system development of Russian Railways, this project is still under discussion, so it’s too early to talk about the timing of product introduction: a number of organizational and legal issues, including those related to the right to use and modify the source code.
Alexey Illarionov notes that use is one of the possible measures, the use of which in such large company how Russian Railways makes it possible to increase the efficiency of the information landscape in terms of IT costs, as well as to improve the company’s cyber security.
Development of software to replace Windows OS and Oracle DBMS
The Federal Nuclear Center in Sarov (RFNC-VNIIEF) is developing its own OS called “Synergy”, the deputy director for IT of the nuclear center reported in May 2014 Oleg Krivosheev. He told TAdviser that this system uses the Linux kernel, and about 70 employees of the nuclear center are involved in its development. The pilot version of the Synergy OS is already used in “special systems”.
In addition to the Synergy OS, RFNC-VNIIEF specialists are also developing their own DBMS and hypervisor for virtualization, the deputy IT director of the Sarov nuclear center told TAdviser. The first is based on open source software PostgreSQL (), and the hypervisor, like the OS, is based on Linux.
RFNC-VNIIEF is developing this software in order to ensure the import independence of the standard model created by the center information system nuclear weapons complex (TIS YaOK). Over time, it is planned to replicate it at all enterprises in the industry, and in the future, to develop a standard platform for defense industry enterprises based on this system. The Sarov Nuclear Center acts as a testing ground for the use of TIS NWC.
Among the components of TIS YaOK are complexes of systems that provide end-to-end 3D design technology, enterprise, resource and production management. In TIS YaOK systems, domestically developed software is already used to the maximum: for example, the technology of end-to-end 3D design is based on the Askon software, and the ERP system is based on the Alfa System software, developed by the Informkontakt company.
OS "Synergy" and its own DBMS will allow you to abandon the Windows OS and Oracle and SQL DBMS, which are used now, Oleg Krivosheev explained to TAdviser. The hypervisor, in turn, should replace the VMware software used in the RFNC-VNIIEF data center, where the TIS YaOK systems are located.
According to Oleg Krivosheev, it is planned to certify the proprietary software for working with state secrets and use it as a platform for the operation of the main systems included in the TIS YAC, as well as the OS for the workstations of users who work with these systems. As of May, negotiations are underway with Russian software developers in order to ensure that their solutions used in TIS YAC can work under the OS and DBMS developed by the Sarov Nuclear Center, he adds.
It is planned to completely complete the development of our own OS, hypervisor and DBMS, as well as certify this software in 2016, Oleg Krivosheev reported to TAdviser. He also noted that certification is a long stage that takes about 9 months.
2013: Launch of the ERP system
In February 2013, Rosatom announced the launch of a standard ERP system into commercial operation at the RFNC. Its development was carried out as part of the transformation program information technology at Rosatom enterprises, which in 2010 included enterprises of the nuclear weapons complex. .
2011: Program for creating a standard information system for nuclear weapons complex
In 2011-2014 In the pilot zone of the RFNC-VNIIEF, a program is being implemented to create a standard information system (TIS of nuclear and chemical complex enterprises). Projects of the program are grouped in such areas as business applications, industrial automation systems - end-to-end cycles, 3D design, IT infrastructure"
The economic development of the city is determined, first of all, by the activities of its main city-forming enterprise - RFNC-VNIIEF.
Russian Federal Nuclear Center - All-Russian Research Institute of Experimental Physics (RFNC-VNIIEF) - federal state unitary enterprise State corporation on atomic energy "Rosatom". The institute was founded in 1946 to implement the Soviet atomic project. The first domestic atomic and hydrogen bombs were developed here.

The computing base of the institute, which has powerful mathematical support, is currently one of the largest in Russia.
Company history:
The starting point of the history of RFNC-VNIIEF can be considered April 9, 1946, when Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the USSR N 805-327ss was issued on the creation of the design bureau KB-11 at Laboratory N 2 of the USSR Academy of Sciences, one of the most secret enterprises for the development of domestic nuclear weapons. By the same decree, Deputy Minister of Transport Engineering P. M. Zernov was appointed head of KB-11, and Professor Yu. B. Khariton was appointed chief designer.
Plant No. 550 of the People's Commissariat of Ammunition, which produced artillery shell casings, was chosen as the base for the deployment of KB-11. The plant was located in the village of Sarova, Gorky Region, where the famous Sarov Monastery was once located. The heads of KB-11 selected specialists for the first Soviet nuclear center regardless of their departmental affiliation. Most of the specialists who came to KB-11 in the first years were bright personalities, thought outside the box, and had enormous intellectual potential. In addition to scientists and engineers, highly qualified workers made a significant contribution to the creation of the first domestic atomic bomb, without whom it would have been impossible to implement bold technical solutions.
In just a few years, in a war-drained country, a high-tech and knowledge-intensive industry was created, capable of solving the most complex problems of ensuring the security of the Fatherland. KB-11 has become one of the leading enterprises in the industry. Already on August 29, 1949, the first domestic atomic bomb RDS-1, created here, was tested. Having mastered the secrets of nuclear weapons, our Motherland for many years ensured military and defense parity of the two leading states of the world - the USSR and the USA. Nuclear shield, the first link of which was the legendary RDS-1 product, still protects Russia today. In 1992, by order of the President Russian Federation The All-Union Research Institute of Experimental Physics was given the status of the Russian Federal Nuclear Center.
Today, FSUE RFNC-VNIIEF is the largest scientific and technical center in Russia, which includes several institutes: theoretical and mathematical physics, experimental gas dynamics and explosion physics, nuclear and radiation physics, laser physics research, scientific and technical center for high energy density physics and directed radiation flows, as well as design bureaus and thematic centers, united by common scientific and administrative leadership.
The rich experience accumulated by RFNC-VNIIEF over more than fifty years of work, scientific-experimental, mathematical and production-technological base, coupled with highly qualified specialists, make it possible to solve problems not only of a defense nature.
