GARR at the Festival

“Il supercalcolo per la ricerca” (Supercomputing for Research) By the end of 2025, Italy will complete the development of its national cloud-based supercomputing infrastructure, funded through the NRRP. Leading this effort are the projects ICSC – National Research Centre in High Performance Computing, Big Data and Quantum Computing, and TeRABIT (Terabit Network for Research and Academic Big Data in ITaly). Together with the scientific and technological representatives of these projects, we will explore the features and potential of supercomputing in the context of the evolution and adoption of a frontier technology such as quantum computing.

Speakers include Silvia Calegari, INFN Infrastructure Manager for the TeRABIT project; Massimo Carboni, Deputy Director and Chief Technical Officer at GARR; Alessia D’Orazio, Research Manager at ICSC – National Research Centre in High Performance Computing, Big Data and Quantum Computing; and Elisa Zuccolo, Senior Researcher at OGS. The session will be moderated by Matteo Massicci from the ICSC Communications Office.
