NRRP, Next Generation EU Projects

ICSC is one of the 5 National centres established by the NRRP, Next Generation EU. A unique project in Europe, it aims to create an ecosystem dedicated to all computing needs for research and industrial applications. ICSC is organised with a central hub and several spokes to cover various thematic areas. GARR is among the initiative's partners and is involved, in enhancing the GARR-T network, in the "Supercomputing Cloud Infrastructure" spoke. This spoke is responsible for managing and coordinating the infrastructure of HPC (High-Performance Computing) and Big Data systems at the national level and is cross-cutting across all other thematic areas.

TeRABIT is a research infrastructure funded through NRRP, Next Generation EU funds. The objective is to propose a development in the models of usage and access to High Performance Computing (HPC), offering cutting-edge solutions for the Italian scientific community and network connections in the order of Terabits per second. The project integrates and enhances three major national strategic research infrastructures: the national research network GARR-T, the HPC node PRACE-Italy at OGS, located at CINECA, and the distributed cloud services system HPC-BD-AI of INFN.
