Popis: | One current trend in most branches of contemporary research is the adoption of large computing facilities, capable of calculating models of ever increasing complexity. This is particularly true for Nuclear Physics, a discipline that has often prompted the development of new theoretical and numerical methods that stimulated the advance of computing machinery. The need for better computational hardware was recognized by the ECT* Board in 2003, with the decision to start a joint program between the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) [1], the Istituto Trentino di Cultura (ITC) [2], the Provincia Autonoma di Trento (PAT) [3], and Exadron [4], the High Performance Computing Division of the Eurotech [5] group. |
