CeSViMa


The Supercomputing and Visualization Center of Madrid (CeSViMa) also called Madrid Supercomputing and Visualization Center (In Spanish, Centro de Supercomputación y Visualización de Madrid) depends on the Computer Science Faculty of the Technical University of Madrid. This center houses Magerit, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Spain. This center is a member of the Spanish Supercomputing Network, the Spanish e-Science Network and the Madrid Laboratories and Infraestructures Network.

In 2004 CeSViMa was created by the Technical University of Madrid and CIEMAT. The aim of the center is to provide computation resources to the researchers of Madrid. IBM provided the supercomputer Magerit in the center. The center also has an interactive 3D visualization infrastructure and a terrestrial scanner.

In 2007 CeSViMa joined the Spanish Supercomputing Network and the supercomputer Magerit was upgraded.

In May 2008, the center migrated all its infrastructure to a new building in the newly created in the International Excellence Campus of Montegancedo, site of Scientific and Technologic Park of the Technical University of Madrid (40°24′15.65″N 03°50′4.75″W / 40.4043472°N 3.8346528°W / 40.4043472; -3.8346528Coordinates: 40°24′15.65″N 03°50′4.75″W / 40.4043472°N 3.8346528°W / 40.4043472; -3.8346528). The supercomputer was upgraded again and reach 16 TFLOPS. 60% of the supercomputer CPU time is used for RES research; the remaining 40% is used for Madrid research.
