Hungary has a history of almost two decades in the field of supercomputers. Over the past 20 years, infrastructure with high computing capacity has been developed several times in several locations to support domestic scientific research. However, over time, the available hardware infrastructure is outdated and, as a result of possible financing, investment in the continuous renewal of the machinery fleet has been missed. In the meantime, supercomputing systems have evolved around the world: the performance of the most advanced has increased by orders of magnitude over the last decade, while their scope has increased significantly. While their competencies in the use of the supercomputer have been constantly developed by users, this knowledge has accumulated scattered and fragmented across universities and research organisations and has not developed a scientific community that would have resulted in a high level of use of domestic resources. Another problem is that the users of the supercomputer lack domestic small and medium-sized enterprises, which, in cooperation with researchers, could not only produce innovative solutions, but also make industrial use of them in the country’s economic recovery. Today, HPC capacity in Hungary barely reaches 0.5 petaFLOPS, which was an outstanding performance 4-5 years ago, but today — thanks to the extremely rapid technological development in the field and the growing demands at the same time — this capacity is becoming increasingly difficult to serve research requiring high computing capacity. In order to increase the above capacity and user coverage, the Governmental Information Technology Development Agency, KIFÜ (hereinafter referred to as: Contracting authority) launches a comprehensive, two-phase programme. In the first phase, a new HPC cluster with 5 petaFLOPS performance will be placed in the Supercomputer Center in the territory of the University of Debrecen, which is today’s most performing and has the most modern technical conditions for the Hungarian supercomputing environment. In addition to the construction of the infrastructure, the task of KIFÜ is to prepare the Hungarian scientific community and the economic sphere for the use of the significantly increased HPC infrastructure, the introduction of HPC knowledge into higher education themes. The objective is to identify and mentor research and industrial projects for which the HPC infrastructure is necessary for successful implementation. The project will also procure and commission the new supercomputer and software for the use of the computer, which will ensure the proper use of the infrastructure for many research areas and businesses. For the proper functioning of the machine, a special refrigeration device compared to that used for its traditional server will be installed, which means liquid cooling for the supercomputer. In the project to be implemented by the KIFÜ, not only the infrastructure will be built, but also the infrastructure-based services will be developed so that KIFÜ is able to provide an adequate service to prospective users. As a result, the portal system required to access HPC will be developed, the HPC Competence Centre providing the services of the KIFÜ will be developed and developed. The project will involve prospective users in the design of the services and an incubator programme with the participation of all targeted target groups will be developed, in which individual actors will be able to cooperate. This will allow both the scientific research sector, the academic community and the economic enterprises to be prepared and able to take advantage of HPC’s capacities with plans for a live start and to commit HPC capacities to the fullest extent possible from the outset.
