Ada Cloud
The CINECA HPC cloud infrastructure, named ADA cloud is based on OpenStack Wallaby.
Provides:
- 71 interactive OpenStack nodes each 2 x CPU Intel CascadeLake 8260, with 24 cores each, 2,4 GHz, 768GB RAM and 2TB SSD storage.
- 1 PB Ceph storage raw dedicated (full NVMe/SSD)
This cloud infrastructure is tightly connected both to the LUSTRE storage of 20 PB raw capacity, and to the GSS storage of 6 PB seen by all other infrastructure. This setup enables the use of all available HPC systems (Tier-0 Marconi, Tier-1 Galileo100), addressing HPC workloads in conjunction with cloud resources.
