TeRABIT at GARR Conference 2024: a focus on digital infrastructures and supercomputing

The TeRABIT project played a prominent role at GARR Conference 2024, held in Brescia from May 29 to 31. The event covered topics such as digital infrastructures and skills, supercomputing, artificial intelligence, big data, and cybersecurity, aiming to delve into the latest innovations and their impact on scientific research and education. 

As part of the program, in the session "Supercomputing and Research Infrastructures - Supercalcolo e infrastrutture per la ricerca" moderated by Stefano Salon, Research Director at OGS, Claudio Grandi from INFN, a member of the TeRABIT Scientific Committee, presented the PNRR TeRABIT and ICSC projects (National Research Centre for HPC, Big Data, and Quantum Computing).  His talk "A Federated Cloud Infrastructure for ICSC and TeRABIT - Una infrastruttura Cloud federata per ICSC e TeRABIT" examined the current state of the two national infrastructures funded by PNRR to support the Italian research system and create a federated digital infrastructure. 

Also attending the event were Chiara Scaini, a technologist from OGS, and Silvia Calegari, Infrastructure Manager of TeRABIT, with a dedicated stand to illustrate the project and showcase one of the first applications on the infrastructure, namely the OGS project for earthquake simulation and early damage assessment. The exhibition space also provided an opportunity to promote the TeRABIT Conference on June 25 in Bologna. During the event titled "Networks, HPC and Cloud Computing: Opportunities and Challenges Created by National Research Infrastructures - Reti, HPC e Cloud Computing: opportunità e sfide create dalle infrastrutture nazionali di ricerca", use cases and contributions on the evolution of national research infrastructures and federated services for users, key objectives of the TeRABIT project, will be presented.
