ELIXIR-CINECA-HPC

HPC@CINECA provides high-performance computing resources for Elixir members to support large-scale processing and analysis of High-Throughput Sequencing (HTS) data. The service operates on a continuous open-call basis, with approved projects receiving a 1-year allocation that includes 50,000 CPU hours and 1 TB of storage by default, with the possibility to request additional resources. Proposals are evaluated by a scientific committee, with feedback typically provided within seven working days. From 2025, a pilot program enables the analysis of GDPR-protected sensitive data for up to two projects per year (maximum one per user or institution, first-come first-served). Projects involving non-sensitive data are unlimited and may be submitted at any time.
