Education

1975-1980	Student at the Faculty of Cybernetics and Computer Science of Moscow State University. Master Degree in computer science awarded June 1980.
1980-1983	Post-graduate student at the Faculty of Cybernetics and Computer Science of Moscow State University.

While studying at Moscow State University in 1975--1983, he performed scientific work under the leadership of Prof. Valentin Turchin who had elaborated the theory of metasystem transition (MST), the functional programming language Refal intended for metacomputation and formalization of MST, and the metacomputation method called supercompilation.

Employment History

1983-1986	Research Center for Electronic Digital Equipment of the Radio-electronic Industry Ministry, Moscow, Research Fellow.
1986-now	Program Systems Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Pereslavl-Zalessky. 1986-1989: Research Fellow (Programmer). 1989-1991: Head of Laboratory. 1991-now: Director of the Research Center for Multiprocessor Systems

1983-1986, Research Fellow (Programmer), Research Center for Electronic Digital Equipment of the Radio-electronic Industry Ministry, Moscow.
Computer experience: Assembler, PL/I, Fortran IV, Refal. ES family (IBM/370, IBM/360 compatibles); OS IBM 370 (MVT), CMS VM/SP.

The Research Center for Electronic Digital Equipment was the main Research Center in the Soviet project of the producing computers of "ES-family"--really, they are compatible with IBM/360, IBM/370.

Sergei Abramov worked in the department creating software and hardware for the original (incompatible with IBM/360, IBM/370) Soviet "special ES-family computers". He participated in the project of developing software for multiprocessor with dynamic architecture--MDA ES-2704.

MDA ES-2704 contains up to twenty four computing units and every computing unit contains three independent microprogrammed processors of different types, two independent memory banks and microprograms' memory. The MDA ES-2704 is connected to an ordinary (compatible with IBM/360, IBM/370) ES-computer (mainframe) as its nonstandard I/O device.

Sergei Abramov developed access method for MVT, MVS and CMS VM/SP operating systems that support interaction between mainframe and MDA ES-2704.

1986-1989, Research Fellow (Programmer), then (1989) Head of Laboratory, then (1991) Director of the RCMS, Program Systems Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Pereslavl-Zalessky, Russia.
Computer experience: Refal Plus, Haskell (Gofer), Pascal. IBM PC MS DOS.

Since 1986, Sergei Abramov worked in the Program Systems Institute. The main issue of his researches are the following:

During the last time the main issue of the research is the software for non-shared memory multiprocessors. The aim of this research is to design and implement a multiprocessor operating system with the following characteristics:
