  The Fermi supercomputer is owned by Cineca, Italy's computing consortium of 54 universities

 Research performed on Fermi will contribute to advances in sustainable energy, transportation, climate change, and health.

                                        

 
                            Fermi is composed of 10.240 Power A2 sockets running at 1.6 GHz, with 16 cores each, totaling 163.840 compute cores and a system peak performance of 2.1 pflops. Each processor comes with 16 Gbyte of RAM (1 Gbyte per core). The BG/Q system will be equipped with a performant scratch storage system with a capacity of 2 Pbyte and a bandwidth in excess of 100 GByte/s.

                             Access to Fermi will be on the basis of national and European calls for proposals. ISCRA (Italian Super Computing Resources Allocation) and PRACE will manage the access to the Tier - 0 supercomputer by the way of international peer - review procedures ensuring world-class research is carried out that will be competitive worldwide.
