The Leonardo Data Centric General Purpose (DCGP) module is upcoming!
MARCONI100 will be the new nVIDIA accelerated partition of MARCONI
We are pleased to announce that pre-production phase of a new accelerated HPC system has started. The production phase of Marconi 100 is aspected to start on Monday, MAY 4th. This system, equipped with NVIDIA Volta V100 GPUs, opens the way to the pre-exascale Leonardo supercomputer expected to be installed in 2021.
The new system enhances and replaces the A2 partition of Marconi (KNL) that has been definitively shut down early January 2020.
Some preliminary technical details about the new system will be available soon in our UserGuide.LEONARDO Data Centric and General Purpose will enter the production phase on February 12th.
LEONARDO, which is in the production phase since Summer 2023, is ranked 6th among the most powerful supercomputers in the Top500 List.
The European supercomputer Leonardo, managed by Cineca, is based on Atos BullSequana XH2000 technology, and features nearly 14,000 NVIDIA Ampere architecture-based GPUs and NVIDIA Mellanox HDR InfiniBand. It delivers 10 exaflops of FP16 AI performance.
In 2024, Leonardo will receive an upgrade targeting an increase of 100 PFlops of computing capacity, that will introduce a new partition, LISA, further expanding its capacity and expertise and serving as an invaluable resource for the European scientific community.
