==History== In 1984, the Kronos Research Group (KRG) was founded by four students of the [[Novosibirsk State University]], two from the mathematics department (Dmitry "Leo" Kuznetsov, Alex Nedoria) and two from the physics department (Eugene Tarasov, Vladimir Vasekin). At that time, the main objective was to build home computers for the KRG members.{{Citation needed|date=December 2013}} In 1985, the group joined the Russian fifth generation computer project START, in which Kronos became a platform for developing multiprocessor reconfigurable ''Modular Asynchronous Developable Systems'' (MARS),<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Kotov |first=V.E. |date=1991 |title=Concurrency + modularity + programmability = MARS |journal=Communications of the ACM |volume=34 |issue=5 |pages=32β45|doi=10.1145/103701.103707 |s2cid=10320717 |doi-access=free }}</ref> and played a lead role in developing the first Russian full 32-bit workstation and its software.{{Citation needed|date=December 2013}} During 7 years (1984β1991) the group designed and implemented:{{Citation needed|date=December 2013}} * Kronos 2.1 and 2.2 β 32-bit processor boards for DEC LSI-11 * Kronos 2.5 β 32-bit processor board for Labtam computers * Kronos 2.6 β 32-bit workstation The project START was finished in 1988. During the post-START years (1988β1991), several Russian industrial organizations expressed interest in continuing the Kronos development and some had been involved in facilitating the construction of Kronos and MARS prototypes, including the design of a Kronos-on-chip. However, changing funding levels and the chaotic economic situation during [[perestroika]] kept those plans from being realized.{{Citation needed|date=December 2013}}
