    Presentazione orale

    Antares is a multi-agent system for autonomous network troubleshooting deployed across GARR's data center infrastructure.
    Built on LangGraph orchestration, the system employs specialized vendor-specific agents (Arista, Juniper, Cisco) that execute structured queries via native APIs (eAPI, SSH/XML, NETCONF).
    Operators interact through natural language in Italian, while the system...

    Since 2023, HEPScore has been well established in the High‑Energy Physics community as the standard benchmark for WLCG sites. With GPU applications increasingly important in HEP and a growing availability of GPUs in the Grid, the need for a representative GPU benchmark is rising accordingly. This is particularly relevant in view of the High‑Luminosity LHC (HL‑LHC) era, which will substantially...

    Tecnologie ICT Hardware e Software
    Presentazione orale

    Modern computing systems provably benefit from a moderate level of reconfigurability to adapt architectural features and enhance performance to specific computational problems, ranging from High-Performance Computing (HPC) to Artificial Intelligence (AI). While FPGAs were historically utilized to implement limited and specific architectures for niche applications, state-of-the-art devices have...

    Presentazione orale

    Over the past two years, COKA, the HPC cluster for code prototyping and benchmarking installed at INFN Ferrara, has been upgraded with newer heterogeneous compute nodes and a refactored software ecosystem. Evolving from its original homogeneous five-node architecture, today the system incorporates NVIDIA Grace Hopper Superchips, IBM POWER9 systems, and multiple FPGAs.
