BSC - Barcelona Supercomputing Center
Early in 2004 the Ministry of Education and Science (Spanish Government), Generalitat de Catalunya (local Catalan Government) and Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) took the initiative of creating a National Supercomputing Center in Barcelona. BSC-CNS (Barcelona Supercomputing Center – Centro Nacional de Supercomputación) is the National Supercomputing Facility in Spain and was officially constituted in April 2005. BSC-CNS manages MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe, located at the Torre Girona chapel. The mission of BSC-CNS is to investigate, develop and manage information technology in order to facilitate scientific progress. With this aim, special dedication has been taken to areas such as Computer Sciences, Life Sciences, Earth Sciences and Computational Applications in Science and Engineering.

On the Applicability of PEBS based Online Memory Access Tracking for Heterogeneous Memory Management at Scale
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2018-11)
Comunicació de congrés
Accés obertOperating systems have historically had to manage only a single type of memory device. The imminent availability of heterogeneous memory devices based on emerging memory technologies confronts the classic single memory ... -
The match between climate services demands and Earth System Models supplies
(Elsevier, 2018-12)
Article
Accés obertEarth System Models (ESM) are key ingredients of many of the climate services that are currently being developed and delivered. However, ESMs have more applications than the provision of climate services, and similarly ... -
Multi-tenant Pub/Sub Processing for Real-Time Data Streams
(Springer, 2018-12)
Comunicació de congrés
Accés obertDevices and sensors generate streams of data across a diversity of locations and protocols. That data usually reaches a central platform that is used to store and process the streams. Processing can be done in real time, ... -
Disaggregating Non-Volatile Memory for Throughput-Oriented Genomics Workloads
(Springer, 2018-12)
Comunicació de congrés
Accés obertMassive exploitation of next-generation sequencing technologies requires dealing with both: huge amounts of data and complex bioinformatics pipelines. Computing architectures have evolved to deal with these problems, ... -
High-Integrity GPU Designs for Critical Real-Time Automotive Systems
(2019)
Comunicació de congrés
Accés obertAutonomous Driving (AD) imposes the use of highperformance hardware, such as GPUs, to perform object recognition and tracking in real-time. However, differently to the consumer electronics market, critical real-time AD ... -
Parallel mesh partitioning based on space filling curves
(Elsevier, 2018-09)
Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialLarger supercomputers allow the simulation of more complex phenomena with increased accuracy. Eventually this requires finer and thus also larger geometric discretizations. In this context, and extrapolating to the Exascale ... -
Role of the Atlantic Multidecadal Variability in modulating the climate response to a Pinatubo-like volcanic eruption
(Springer, 2018-09)
Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialThe modulation by the Atlantic multidecadal variability (AMV) of the dynamical climate response to a Pinatubo-like eruption is investigated for the boreal winter season based on a suite of large ensemble experiments using ... -
Brook GLES Pi: democratising accelerator programming
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2018-08-10)
Comunicació de congrés
Accés obertNowadays computing is heavily-based on accelerators, however, the cost of the hardware equipment prevents equal access to heterogeneous programming. In this work we present Brook GLES Pi, a port of the accelerator programming ... -
PerfBound: Conserving Energy with Bounded Overheads in On/Off-Based HPC Interconnects
(IEEE, 2018-07-01)
Article
Accés obertEnergy and power are key challenges in high-performance computing. System energy efficiency must be significantly improved, and this requires greater efficiency in all subcomponents. An important target of optimization is ... -
