Slovenian HPC Vega System, the first operational EuroHPC system, on Top 500
Slovenian national supercomputer HPC Vega has placed Slovenia at the 21st place among countries featuring their systems on the Top 500 supercomputer lists this June. HPC Vega, hosted at Institute of Information Science in Maribor, has been a collaboration of Slovenian partners and the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking and has scored a major success by being the first EuroHPC system to start production and accept international European users. It is also the largest system in Slovenia, where it has been established within the national project HPC RIVR tasked to upgrade national infrastructure in HPC and science data systems as well as support regional development. HPC Vega is serving a number of users from very different disciplines, and is managed by IZUM and a team of national experts from the national consortium SLING who are also involved in the future EuroHPC project Leonardo, thereby fostering national and international collaboration.
