Скачать или смотреть HPC RIVR project to establish a National supercomputer center in Maribor, Slovenia

This talk aims to share our experience in establishing a large national research infrastructure for supercomputing. This was made possible through the HPC RIVR investment project, jointly funded by the Republic of Slovenia, the European Union (from the European Regional Development Fund), and The European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU). To meet the needs of the Slovenian and European scientific community, we built three hybrid HPC systems, with the flagship production supercomputer HPC VEGA rated at 6.9 PETAFLOPS (Rmax = 10.1 PETAFLOPS). This was the first EuroHPC JU supercomputer to be put into operation in Europe. The built HPC systems are accessible under the Open Access to Public Research Infrastructure rules and regulations. During the talk, we will focus on explaining our journey from the idea of building a National supercomputer center to ensuring the necessary political and national support, executing the investment project, and finally achieving full-scale operation of the HPC systems.
