This system is the new pre-exascale Tier-0 EuroHPC supercomputer hosted by CINECA and currently built in the Bologna Technopole, Italy. It is supplied by ATOS, based on a BullSequana XH2135 supercomputer nodes, each with four NVIDIA Tensor Core GPUs and a single Intel CPU. It also uses NVIDIA Mellanox HDR 200Gb/s InfiniBand connectivity, with smart in-network computing acceleration engines that enable extremely low latency and high data throughput to provide the highest AI and HPC application performance and scalability.

Access

All the login nodes have an identical environment and can be reached with SSH (Secure Shell) protocol using the "collective" hostname:

> login.leonardo.cineca.it

The mandatory access to Leonardo is the two-factor authentication (2FA). Please refer to this link of the User Guide to activate and connect via 2FA. For information about data transfer from other computers please follow the instructions and caveats on the dedicated section Data storage or the document  Data Management.

Software environment

The available software environment is based on spack and modules, and needs to be activated. Some vendor installations are also available and presented in an lmod environment on the login node, but we warmly encourage the beta testers to use the spack environment to provide a valuable feedback on the software stack provided by CINECA.
