ENEAGRID/CRESCO
ENEAGRID/CRESCO, an integrated computational infrastructure:
- offering a production quality, service oriented system for high performance and/or high throughput computing;
- covering all the computational resources managed and developed by TERIN-ICT, a division
of the ENEA Energy Technology Department, connected in a Wide Area Network.
The most relevant resources are the CRESCO Clusters
based on x86_64 architecture; the main site is Portici ENEA Research Center hosting CRESCO6 (~1400 TFlops)
and CRESCO7 (~500 TFlops) clusters. Smaller clusters, CRESCO4F (~20 Tflops) and CRESCO4C (10 Tflops), are hosted on Frascati
and Casaccia ENEA sites.
- providing a unified user environment and a homogeneous access method for all ENEA researchers irrespective of their location;
- implementing tools to facilitate the integration of departments and individual resources and to support to experimental facilities.
