Скачать или смотреть Soviet Scientists Were Baffled by the Processing Speed of America's CDC Supercomputers

Discover the secret history of the Cold War's most important battle—the silent war of computation. While the world watched missiles and spies, a single American machine, the CDC 6600, created a technological gap so vast it left the Soviet Union's top scientists in a state of shock. This documentary reveals how one man's revolutionary design philosophy outpaced an entire empire.

We explore the story from the perspective of the Soviet engineers who first encountered this "impossible machine," a device ten times faster than their best creation, the BESM-6. Uncover the tale of their desperate, decade-long attempt to copy it with their "Elbrus" project, and why the fundamental differences between the American free market and the Soviet command economy made their failure inevitable. From designing smaller, more efficient nuclear warheads (MIRVs) to simulating entire wars, see how America's lead in supercomputing became an insurmountable strategic advantage that ultimately helped end the Cold War.

Join us as we deconstruct the machine, the man, and the system that changed the world.
