This new state-of-the-art supercomputer, which takes its name from the Latin locution "Ad astra per aspera" (translated as "By arduous paths to the stars"), is now installed and made available by GENCI and CINES to the academic and industrial scientific communities as part of open research.
The inauguration of Adastra will start at 10:30 a.m. on May 4, on the CINES premises in Montpellier. It will take place in the presence of elected officials, government representatives, scientists, higher education and research professionals, and representatives of the economic sector. It will begin with an unveiling of Adastra, a tour of the machine room and will be followed at 2pm by a conference.
