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.

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 ... -
Towards an OpenMP Specification for Critical Real-Time Systems
(Springer, 2018)
Capítol de llibre
Accés obertOpenMP is increasingly being considered as a convenient parallel programming model to cope with the performance requirements of critical real-time systems. Recent works demonstrate that OpenMP enables to derive guarantees ... -
Executing linear algebra kernels in heterogeneous distributed infrastructures with PyCOMPSs
(EDP Open, 2018-10-24)
Article
Accés obertPython is a popular programming language due to the simplicity of its syntax, while still achieving a good performance even being an interpreted language. The adoption from multiple scientific communities has evolved in ... -
Industrial experiences with resource management under software randomization in ARINC653 avionics environments
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2018-11-05)
Comunicació de congrés
Accés obertInjecting randomization in different layers of the computing platform has been shown beneficial for security, resilience to software bugs and timing analysis. In this paper, with focus on the latter, we show our experience ... -
Evaluating the roles of detailed endocardial structures on right ventricular haemodynamics by means of CFD simulations
(Wiley, 2018-09)
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialComputational modelling plays an important role in right ventricular (RV) haemodynamic analysis. However, current approaches use smoothed ventricular anatomies. The aim of this study is to characterise RV haemodynamics ... -
SKEMPI 2.0: an updated benchmark of changes in protein–protein binding energy, kinetics and thermodynamics upon mutation
(Oxford University Press, 2018-07-18)
Article
Accés obertMotivation: Understanding the relationship between the sequence, structure, binding energy, binding kinetics and binding thermodynamics of protein–protein interactions is crucial to understanding cellular signaling, the ... -
Atmospheric processing of iron in mineral and combustion aerosols: development of an intermediate-complexity mechanism suitable for Earth system models
(European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2018-10-05)
Article
Accés obertAtmospheric processing of iron in dust and combustion aerosols is simulated using an intermediate-complexity soluble iron mechanism designed for Earth system models. The solubilization mechanism includes both a dependence ... -
Fitting Software Execution-Time Exceedance into a Residual Random Fault in ISO-26262
(IEEE, 2018-09-01)
Accés obertCar manufacturers relentlessly replace or augment the functionality of mechanical subsystems with electronic components. Most such subsystems (e.g., steer-by-wire) are safety related, hence, subject to regulation. ISO-26262, ... -
