EuroHPC JU has approved Cineca expression of interest for upgrading Leonardo supercomputer, targeting an increase of 100 PFlops of computing capacity: named Lisa, after the universally known portrait Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci.
The CINECA's supercomputer LEONARDO, jointly funded by EuroHPC and CINECA on behalf of Italian Ministry of University and Research, reached the 4th position in the Top500 list of the fastest supercomputers in the world.
The website of the supercomputer Leonardo is online. On the website you will find: technical information about Leonardo, news, updates about the installation, photos, a virtual tour, curiosities, and more!
Three artistic residences are foreseen in Bologna to work with the world of research on common European and global challenges for ecological transition and sustainable well-being.
The artists will provide the critical reflection and new imaginaries for the ecological transition using the technologies, software and computing capacity of CINECA (including Leonardo).
Cineca joined EBRAINS, the digital research infrastructure (RI), created by the EU-funded Human Brain Project (HBP), to foster brain-related research and to help translate the latest scientific discoveries into innovation in medicine and industry, for the benefit of patients and society.
The HPC staff of CINECA thanks the Spack developers Massimiliano Culpo and Harmen Stoppels for their visit at our premises in Casalecchio di Reno (Bologna). During the two-day Spack event on February 13-14, Culpo and Stoppels delivered a comprehensive tutorial course followed by a mini-hackathon on Spack, the package manager for software configuration and installation on multiple platforms.
