Most powerful computer of business card size is created in Tomsk

TOMSK, Dec 7 – RIA Tomsk, Karina Sapunova. Tomsk engineers developed a single board MilestoneCompact computer (MSTN-M100) of a business card size, which is more powerful than similar devices, but at the same time it is compatible with devices for them, the director of the company developer INTEC  Nikita Kalinovsky reported on Wednesday to RIA Tomsk.

He explained that now there are already single board tiny computers in the world market – processors, which require accession of additional devices for the solution of specific tsks. One of the most widespread platforms is Arduino. However, its performance is low and doesn't allow to make transactions requiring the high speed of calculations.

"We already bring our development to the market, we will begin to realize the strategy of more large-scale implementation from next year. The main benefit of our computer is that it has more powerful processor", – the interlocutor of the agency told.

Kalinovsky specified that the processor, which is used in the computer, is also developed by the Russian company Milandr. According to him, powerful "brain" will allow to use the computer when training children in robotics, in work of industrial enterprises, for creation of the smart house or useful gadgets.

He noted that another plus of the Tomsk platform for the Russian consumers is the proximity of developers, that will allow to receive technical support more quickly. At the same time the Tomsk platform will be compatible to additional devices for similar mechanisms with the Arduino platform.
