CILEA is a consortium of ten universities in Lombardy, established in 1974. The Italian Ministry of Universities and Research also belongs to the Consortium.

CILEA is among the most advanced supercomputing centres in Europe. According to its statute, CILEA has many different purposes. Among them, it promotes the use of the most advanced computing systems in scientific and technological research, both public and private. It provides high performance computing systems to the national research. It promotes the technological transfer in the field of information and communication technology. It creates, maintains and manages information systems for the national education and research system.

All CILEA's services are offered to universities, public agencies and private companies.

CILEA since its foundation in 1975 has had state-of-the-art computing platforms, constantly upgraded and replaced and that periodically are mentioned in the Top500, the list of the 500 most powerful supercomputers in the world. Users can therefore always find the most suitable architectures and development tools for the solution of their complex computing needs. Whenever possible, CILEA tries also to have computers of different architectures, in order to offer the most suitable one for each specific computing need. Besides the hardware, the most known computing codes and libraries are available. They include both proprietary and open source software, covering a wide spectrum of applications, like mechanical and structural analysis, fluido-dynamics and bioinformatics, to mention a few fields. They are available to the customers with modalities determined by agreements with package distributors.

In the field of high performance computing, CILEA is able to offer services ranging from the simple access to its computers by expert users up to the most complete assistance in the development of new simulations and applications. Users access systems remotely, even through easy to use web interfaces, via the www.supercomputing.it portal. Expert personnel provides user support including on-line assistance, software and libraries installation. But CILEA can also take over the development of completely new applications. When necessary, CILEA can use help from expert researchers from the universities belonging to the Consortium. An updated list of available applications is maintained at www.supercomputing.it portal, area "Supercomputing at CILEA". [read less]
