A High Performance Computer (HPC) is a system that simultaneously processes huge amounts of data through the use of hundreds of interconnected CPUs (Central Processing Units) and GPUs (Graphics Processing Units). It enables simulations, the training of artificial intelligence models, the processing of complex analyses in just a few minutes, and the taking of rapid and precise decisions in sectors such as industry, research, defence and healthcare. 

As the operational hub of the Leonardo Hypercomputing Continuum, the DaVinci HPC combines computing power, energy efficiency, and full data sovereignty. It is one of the most powerful supercomputers in the world, designed for industrial, scientific and national security applications.
