UniPro outsourcing activities has been accruing permanently. We achieved a success both in long-term
ongoing projects and newly launched projects. Our engineers were rendered extended areas
of responsibilities. Projects' teams are permanently expanded.
3D Modelling Toolkit able to solve complex physical practical problems has been
developed and presented. It's potential at various applied cases is tested and intensified.
Ongoing collaboration with
IC&G SB RAS
results in specific genetics algorithms realization and permanent improvement of the software.
UniPro
bioinformatics group participated in several international
biotechnology and bioinformatics forums.
2005
UniPro is launching a set of new software products:
2004
Together with the geneticists from the Institute of Cytology and Genetics
and with the help of scientific production association "Vektor" there have been
developed and released new software products for bioinformatics researching:
UniPro GenomeBrowser and UniPro DPview.
UniPro TruStudio, IDE for PHP and Python based on Eclipse Platform, is
in the process of development.
UniPro sings contract with Intel on:
- including most UniPro employees in the Intel staff
- selling a part of UniPro intellectual asset to Intel
The abruptly reduced UniPro staff keeps carrying out its current projects
and thinks of different variants for its further development.

Origin
UniPro was founded by members of a department of the Institute for Precise Mechanics and Computer Technology (Moscow),
where the system software for the Russian ELBRUS Supercomputer Series was developed. The Institute's software development
included:
- Several operating systems, including UNIX for Russian mainframes (BESM-6 and BESM-like computers);
- Compilers for Ada, Algol-60, Cobol, Fortran, PL/1, C, Prolog for ELBRUS-1 and ELBRUS-2 mainframes,
Fortran for the EL-90 (RISC micro architecture) and BESM-like computers;
- Optimizing Fortran compilers for the MPP and ELBRUS-3 supercomputers;
- Compilers for Russian high-level system programming languages Yarmo-1,-2,-3;
- DBMS for the BESM-6 and ADABAS-compatible prototype for ELBRUS-2;
- Applied mathematics software for linear algebra, numeric computations and statistics, created for
and ported to various architectures;
