As part of the agreement with Cineca, INAF offers 2.5 Million Standard Hours which will be usable from 01/02/2024.
Proposals for computing resources requiring a minimum of 12,500 Standard Hours up to a maximum of 125,000 Standard Hours will be evaluated.
The assigned computing resources will be available for up to a maximum of 6 months from the aforementioned date of first use.
In the context of this Call, the resources will be used on the Leonardo BOOSTER calculation system (https://wiki.u-gov.it/confluence/display/SCAIUS/UG3.2%3A+LEONARDO+UserGuide): please remember that 1 Standard Hour is equivalent to 1 CORE hour on Leonardo BOOSTER . Projects can also require up to 4TB of work storage.
Beyond these limits, additional disk resources may be requested (subject to verification of actual availability by Cineca). In this case the additional resources will be calculated as Equivalent Standard Hours with the following scheme.
1 TB/year is equivalent to:
- 500 Standard Hours on DRES-ARCHIVE;
- 800 Standard Hours on DRES-FS;
- 800 Standard Hours on $WORK per HPC
