A supercomputer like never before
LEONARDO arrives at the technopole
In the month of July, the first two trucks of the High Performance Computing (HPC) Supercomputer arrived. Leonardo, as the supercomputer has been named, has been co-financed with 240 million euros by EuroHPC Joint Undertaking and the italian Ministry of Education, and it is managed by Cineca.
"Leonardo" has 5,000 servers, 157 racks for a total of 360,000 kilograms in weight and more that 156km of cables and will supply 10 times the power of computing than the current Cineca Marconi100 system, making it one of the 5 most powerful HPCs in the world.
