Mount Elbrus

Mount Elbrus (Russian: Эльбру́с, tr. Ēlbrus; IPA: [ɪlʲˈbrus]; Karachay-Balkar: Минги тау, Min̡i taw, IPA: [miŋŋi taw]) is a dormant volcano located in the northern Caucasus mountains, in Kabardino-Balkaria and Karachay–Cherkessia of Russia, near the border with Georgia. Elbrus' peak is the highest in the Caucasus Mountains, in Russia, and in Europe; and it is the tenth most prominent in the world.

Elbrus has two summits, both of which are dormant volcanic domes. With its slightly taller west summit, the mountain stands at 5,642 metres (18,510 ft); the east summit is 5,621 metres (18,442 ft). The lower east summit was first ascended on 10 July 1829 (Julian calendar) by Khillar Khachirov, a Karachay guide for an Imperial Russian army scientific expedition led by General Emmanuel, and the higher (by about 20 m; 66 ft) in 1874 by an English expedition led by F. Crauford Grove and including Frederick Gardner, Horace Walker, and the Swiss guide Peter Knubel of St. Niklaus in the canton Valais.

The Elbrus (Russian: Эльбрус) is a line of Soviet and Russian computer systems developed by Lebedev Institute of Precision Mechanics and Computer Engineering. In 1992 a spin-off company Moscow Center of SPARC Technologies (MCST) was created and continued development.

These computers are used in the space program, nuclear weapons research, and defense systems.

MCST develops microprocessors based on two different instruction set architecture (ISA): Elbrus and SPARC
