MARCONI100 will be the new nVIDIA accelerated partition of MARCONI
We are pleased to announce that a new accelerated HPC system will be installed at Cineca and should be available to production early 2020. 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 will be definitively shut down early January 2020. A plan for migration of the projects hosted on Marconi-A2 will be developed in the coming days and communicated promptly.
Some preliminary technical details about the new system will be available soon in our UserGuide.
