Description
CINECA, Italy’s national supercomputing centre, hosts Leonardo, a EuroHPC pre-exascale system ranked among the world’s top 10. Building on this foundation, CINECA will acquire the IT4LIA AI-optimised supercomputer to strengthen the European AI and HPC ecosystem.
The new system will provide large-scale capabilities for AI model training, fine-tuning, inference, and reasoning, as well as retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), model optimisation, and multi-agent simulations.
The IT4LIA system will serve as the computational backbone of the Italian AI Factory, offering secure, high-performance resources for scientific, industrial, and public users.
The estimated total value of the call is EUR 290,000,000.
