The Central Scientific Unit VIII - ”Computing”
Date Issued
2023
Abstract
The optimization of the execution times of data analysis and theoretical simulation codes, combined with the ability to manage large amounts of data, and with the energy efficiency of all processes, are decisive ingredients for the success of large research projects in astrophysics. On the other hand, the new opportunities provided by computer science developments will also significantly change the "modus operandi" of many researchers. The creation of USC VIII, dedicated to high-performance computing and data archiving, therefore represents an invaluable opportunity to support INAF members and projects in the highly competitive current research landscape and in what will mature over the next decades.
The presentation describes the context, the organizational methods, the short and medium term objectives, the available and planned resources of the newborn USC VIII, which also includes almost all the activities (for example cloud, networks, GARR, software licenses, and services research commons such as gitlab, etc.) previously conducted by the so-called INAF ICT. Emphasis is also given to collaborations with other organizations and above all with industries.
The presentation also wants to represent an opportunity to stimulate dialogue and the sharing of experiences in the field of computing, archives, services and IT developments: an opportunity to receive suggestions from the community, to gather information about any problems in this sector which exist in any specific INAF headquarters, and to start the assembly of a list of the local expertise to be exploited in the creation of the INAF computing ecosystem.
