Projects

The mission is widening the access to codes and engaging academic and industrial communities, by providing workflows and turn-key solutions and also training for broader and different pool of users and developers.


The mission is to develop the technologies and make them available for large and growing base of researchers in the materials domain. The goals are achieved by:

  • bringing the most successful and widely used open-source, community codes in quantum simulations of materials towards exascale and extreme scaling performance;
  • enabling the convergence of high-performance and high-throughput computing with high-performance data analytics in the materials domain;
  • co-designing activities to ensure that future HPC architectures are well suited for materials domain applications and viceversa;
  • widening the access to codes and engaging academic and industrial communities, by providing workflows and turn-key solutions and also training for broader and different pool of users and developers.

The mission of Spoke 7 is to enhance Italian leadership in the development, implementation, and distribution of scientific high-performance software for the multi-scale simulation of complex materials and molecular systems; it will also be targeted to optimising and broadening the application spectrum of these software systems, to tackle the scientific, technological, and social challenges of our country. Furthermore, Spoke 7 will activate and facilitate access to massive computation resources by public and private subjects, for applications of new materials to emerging technologies, and will direct efforts of molecular and materials scientific research towards strategic applications identified by the PNRR.


The mission is studying the excited state properties of condensed matter systems from first principles using many-body methods.


The mission is extending the ultra-fast HHG technology to solids, thus opening the path to the study of attosecond processes in extended materials.
