tenkte det kan vera interessant for styret å sjå kor mykje vekt enkelte land legg på HPC. Vennleg helsing, Gunnar

Dear Colleagues, I have the pleasure to inform you that Italy has presented its candidature to host one of the two pre-exascale computer-laboratories to be installed within the framework of the European initiative called “European High-Performance Computing-Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC-JU).
The Italian candidature, centered around the technopolis of Bologna, was put forward by the consortium CINECA, led by the Italian Ministry of Research, together with the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) and the International Superior School of Advanced Studies in Trieste (SISSA). According to the Italian offer, Bologna is the candidate-city to host one of the two laboratories which will be set up under the EuroHPC-JU.
In enclosing a paper with more detailed information regarding the Italian candidature, I summarize herewith its main points:
* Long-standing experience developed by Italy in the field of high-performance computing; * Level of excellence achieved by the Technopolis of Bologna; * Financial commitment already pledged by the Italian government for an amount of 120 million euros, in order to cover part of the expenses necessary for the installation of one of the two computer-laboratories.
The Italian proposal is supported by Slovenia which is part of the international consortium supporting the candidature of the Technopolis of Bologna.
I would be grateful and highly appreciate if you could look into the above Italian candidature, and also explore the possibility that Norway might join the international consortium already set up by Italy and Slovenia, with an aim to supporting the candidature of the city of Bologna. Best regards,
