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.

Conference report
Open AccessSpatio-temporal encoding in neural systems refers to the representation of information through the combined spatial and temporal patterns of neuronal activity and plays a fundamental role in various brain biological ... -
Frontiers in scientific workflows: Pervasive integration with high-performance computing
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2024-08)
Article
Open AccessWe address the increasing complexity of scientific workflows in the context of high-performance computing (HPC) and their associated need for robust, adaptable, and flexible computational support systems. We explore five ... -
Electromagnetic subsurface imaging in the presence of metallic structures: a review of numerical strategies
(2024-08-28)
Article
Open AccessElectromagnetic (EM) imaging aims to produce large-scale, high-resolution soil conductivity maps that provide essential information for Earth subsurface exploration. To rigorously generate EM subsurface models, one must ... -
Performance assessment of an electrostatic filter-diverter stent cerebrovascular protection device. Is it possible not to use anticoagulants in atrial fibrilation elderly patients?
(Frontiers Media, 2023)
Article
Open AccessStroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Nearly two-thirds of strokes are produced by cardioembolisms, and half of cardioembolic strokes are triggered by Atrial Fibrillation (AF), the most common type of ... -
Isomorphic Structures and Operator Analysis in Mimetic Discretizations
