BSC-CNS Barcelona Supercomputing Center – Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) is the Spanish National Laboratory in supercomputing. + 400 people The BSC mission: – To investigate, develop and manage technology to facilitate the advancement of science. The BSC objectives: – To perform R&D in Computer Sciences and e-Sciences – To provide Supercomputing support to external research. BSC is a consortium that includes: – the Spanish Government – 51% – the Catalan Government – 37% – the Technical University of Catalonia – 12%
BSC Scientific & Technical Departments Influence the way machines are built, programmed and used – Programming models: OmpSs – Performance tools: • Extrae, Paraver, Dimemas and Tareador • Performance analytics, intelligence, insight – Computer Architecture & Low Power • Prototyping of low-power HPC systems • Software stack 5
BSC Scientific & Technical Departments Simulation of earth climate and air quality – “ Mineral Dust Transport Models “: BSC-DREAM8b (regional) and NMMB/BSC-Dust (global) – Regional Center of World Meteorological Organization SDS-WAS Nothern Africa-Midle East-Europe (NA-ME-E) (consortium between BSC and AEMET). 6
BSC Scientific & Technical Departments Deep insight into the origin, evolution and function of living organisms using theory and computation – Rational drug design using computer-aided tool – Simulation of macromolecular systems (proteins and nucleic acids) with high biomedical and biotechnological impact – Computation for Omics revolution : identification of targets for complex disease (Cancer, Alzheimer, etc.) 7
BSC Scientific & Technical Departments Optimized applications for science and engineering – Biomechanics (Alya Red): coupled electrical/mechanical/fluid in very large grids (10 8 elements) – Geophysics (BSIT): pioneers in acoustic RTM, elastic FWI with real data – CFD (ALYA): easy to couple with other problems, grids with 10 9 elements, free surface, compressible/incompressible, subsonic/supersonic, RANS/LES/DNS, … One of the two PRACE CFD codes 8
BSC Scientific & Technical Departments Our mission is to ensure the continued availability and accessibility of BSC systems 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and to provide support to all the users. Further core objectives are – Participation as PRACE Tier-0 site in PRACE project – Coordination of the RES (Spanish Supercomputing Network) – Optimize the usage of the systems and of the applications running – Manage the environmental aspect of the BSC-CNS installations 9
