1 Silvia Arezzini (INFN - Pisa) Claudio Bonati (INFN - Pisa) Alberto Ciampa (INFN - Pisa) Massimo D'Elia (University of Pisa and INFN) Massimiliano Fiorini (University of Ferrara and INFN) Gianluca Lamanna (INFN - Pisa), co-chair Lucia Lilli (INFN - Pisa) Marco Sozzi (University of Pisa and INFN), co-chair T. Schoerner-Sadenius (DESY - Hamburg)

2 What ? Explosive interest for GPGPU in HEP, at the frontier of big data, challenging rates and data throughputs

3 Why ? Second happening (after DESY workshop in 2013)

4 Why ? Pisa has a long tradition in computing with a strong link with physics A story from a long time ago about spending 150 million lire

5 CEP («Calcolatrice Elettronica Pisana»)
Marcello Conversi Started 1955, Completed bit hybrid machine 100µs floating add 36 Kbyte memory Adriano Olivetti

6 Then and now... 1961 2014 10 KFLOPS 1 TFLOPS

7 Then and now... High Energy Physics
Crystal structure Atomic wavefunctions Ionosphere structure Metereology Chemistry Astropysics High Energy Physics

8 Why ? Italian Education & Research Ministry funded project «GAP» (GPU applications project): «real-time» use of GPUs, in HEP triggering and medical physics image reconstruction PI: G. Lamanna

9 HEP and computers... From state of the art in building performant computers... ... to state of the art in using performant computers

10 Where ? Aula Gerace – IT department – 2nd floor: talks «Crossover» – 1.5 floor: lunches, industry exhibitions, poster session

11 Moreover... Guided tour of Piazza dei Miracoli Today at In front of the department gate

12 Lux theater Social dinner
Piazza dei Miracoli Lux theater Social dinner Piazza dei Cavalieri Physics dept. Conference & Lunches Ponte di mezzo 200m

13 A sweet touch (tomorrow...)
Amedei, a small chocolate producer in Tuscany, is the spearhead of Italian chocolate industry. Several years recipient of "Golden Bean" award of the Chocolate Academy of London. Some chocolate tablets (e.g. Porcelana, "9" and Chuao) are rated among the worlds’ best.

14 What more?

15 And...

16 ENJOY !
