High Performance Computing and Quantum Computing 2020
Cineca anche quest’anno, visto il successo delle precedenti edizioni, ha organizzato con la collaborazione del CNR la terza edizione del workshop “High Performance Computing and Quantum Computing” che si è tenuta online il 15 Dicembre 2020. Come ogni anno si sono riunite la comunità di ricercatori e le aziende che lavorano attivamente o sono interessate all’HPC e al quantum computing.
L’evento, di caratura internazionale, ha visto la partecipazione di università e centri di ricerca e di esponenti di alcune tra le più importanti world companies (IBM, Amazon, Atos, Intel, General Electric) e di quantum computing companies (D-Wave, Pasqal, Xanadu e Zapata).
