Barcelona Supercomputing Centre to Optimize Storage and Data Analysis with PPI4HPC
April 6, 2020 by
The Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) will provide a new storage infrastructure for enhanced data analysis capabilities thanks to the PPI4HPC (Public Procurement of Innovations for High Performance Computing). “The proposed infrastructure includes a disk tier built on all-flash technology and spinning disk drives. It changes the way underlying physical drives are managed, accessed and rebuilt in case of failures in order to minimize the impact to the scientific applications. It is a High-Performance Analytics compute infrastructure to run data analytics operations with the latest Power microprocessors and NVMe PCIe local storage to accelerate the workloads.”
MEEP Project to support European technology in Exascale Supercomputers
March 13, 2020 by
Today the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) launched the MareNostrum Experimental Exascale Platform (MEEP). The new project will support EuroHPC in its effort to create competitive European technology integrated into future exascale supercomputers. “The ultimate goal is to create an open full-stack (software and hardware) ecosystem that could form the foundation for many other European systems, both in high-performance computing (HPC) and embedded computing, with benefits for numerous stakeholders within academia and industry.”
Stepping up Efficiency for Exascale with FPGAs at the LEGaTO Project
March 3, 2020 by
In this special guest feature from Scientific Computing World, Robert Roe writes that European researchers have developed a framework to boost the energy efficiency of CPU, GPU and FPGA resources. “Legato (Low Energy Toolset for Heterogeneous Computing) is one such project with the lofty aims of developing a programming framework to support heterogeneous systems of CPU, GPU and FPGA resources that can offload specific tasks to different acceleration technologies through its own runtime system.”
BSC Powers Pan-Cancer Project
February 6, 2020 by
An international team has completed the most comprehensive study of whole cancer genomes to date, significantly improving our fundamental understanding of cancer and signposting new directions for its diagnosis and treatment. The Barcelona Supercomputing Centre has been involved from the initial stages of this project, and has contributed with the analysis of data, with the design of specific computing solutions for cancer genomics, as well as in the answering of specific questions related to with the biology of tumors.
