In Our Service Catalogue: ISCRA

RESILIENCE is working on its service catalogue, including services that are already available today. One of these services is ISCRA (Italian SuperComputing Resource Allocation), the direct award in excess of one hundred core hours, developed by CINECA.

About ISCRA

ISCRA stands for Italian SuperComputing Resource Allocation.

Each year, CINECA will directly award, at national level, in excess of 100 millions core hours, and indirectly, at European level, by mean of the participation of the EUROHPCJU Programme, in excess of 1.200 millions core processors hours, for a total amount in the order of 1.700 millions core processors hours, driving transformational research in diverse fields. The topics that are currently investigated through supercomputing at CINECA e.g. include fundamental physics, computational chemistry, astrophysics, nanotechnology, energy, environment, engineering, mathematic and life science, as well as emerging application domains in the context of multidisciplinary, social and economical science and humanities. Scientists may request allocations on high-performance computing (HPC) systems operated by CINECA: a top level (Tier-0) system “LEONARDO”, a middle range (Tier-1) system “Galileo100”, and some task specific machines (Cloud) and Quantum Simulator resources.

Access

ISCRA is available in open access and free of charge.
