The
new Galileo InfrastructureLeonardo Data Centric General Purpose (DCGP) module is upcoming!
We are pleased to announce that our Tier-1 system, Galileo, will be updated and improved in the following months. The procedure will start in a month, a pre-production phase is expected for May, the full production in July 2021.
The new Infrastructure is co-funded by the European ICEI (Interactive Computing e-Infrastructure) project, it is a system engineered by DELL and consists of:
- 528 computing nodes 2 CPU Intel CascadeLake 8260, with 24 cores each, 2.4 GHz, 384 GB RAM and 36 additional nodes with 2x NVIDIA GPU V100 with 100Gbs Infiniband interconnection
- 77 computing server OpenStack for cloud computing, 2x CPU 8260 Intel CascadeLake, 24 cores, 2.4 GHz, 768 GB RAM, with 100Gbs Ethernet interconnection.
- 20 PB of active storage accessible from both cloud and HPC nodes.
- 5 PB of fast storage for HPC system.
- 1 PB Ceph storage for Cloud (full NVMe/SSD)
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.
