  CHIPP (Computing HTC in INAF Pilot Project) is an Italian project funded by
the Italian Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) and promoted by the ICT office of
INAF. The main purpose of the CHIPP project is to coordinate the use of, and
access to, already existing high throughput computing and high-performance
computing and data processing resources (for small/medium size programs) for
the INAF community. Today, Tier2/Tier3 systems (1,200 CPU/core) are provided at
the INAF institutes at Trieste and Catania, but in the future, the project will
evolve including also other computing infrastructures. During the last two
years, more than 30 programs have been approved for a total request of 30
Million CPU-h. Most of the programs are HPC, data reduction and analysis,
machine learning. In this paper, we describe in details the CHIPP
infrastructures and the results of the first two years of activity.
