Mount Elbrus 100 people to be attempting the summit via this route each day. Winter ascents are rare, and are usually undertaken only by very experienced climbers. Elbrus is notorious for its brutal winter weather, and summit attempts are few and far between. The climb is not technically difficult, but it is physically arduous because of the elevations and the frequent strong winds. The average annual death toll on Elbrus is 15–30, primarily due to "many unorganized and poorly equipped" attempts to summit the mountain. Since 1986, Elbrus has been incorporated into Prielbrusye National Park, one of the Protected areas of Russia.
Elbrus-8S Elbrus-8S The Elbrus-8S () is a Russian 28 nanometer 8-core microprocessor developed by Moscow Center of SPARC Technologies (MCST). The first prototypes were produced by the end of 2014 and serial production started in 2016. The Elbrus-8S is to be used in servers and workstations. Four Elbrus processors on a server motherboard puts a total of 32 processor cores in a server blade. In 2018 MCST announced its plans for the production of an updated version with twice the performance, the Elbrus-8SV. The CPU features 576 Gflops and 1.5 GHz, as well as DDR4 support instead of DDR3.
