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.

Monte Carlo Techniques for Drug Design: The Success Case of PELE
(Wiley, 2018-12-21)
Part of book or chapter of book
Open AccessThis chapter summarizes the most representative software packages that readily allow running Monte Carlo (MC) simulations in relevant scenarios for drug design. It explores in detail the Protein Energy Landscape Exploration ... -
Machine Learning-based Query Augmentation for SPARQL Endpoints
(2018)
Conference lecture
Open AccessLinked Data repositories have become a popular source of publicly-available data. Users accessing this data through SPARQL endpoints usually launch several restrictive yet similar consecutive queries, either to find the ... -
When and How to Apply Statistics, Machine Learning and Deep Learning Techniques
(IEEE, 2018-09-21)
Conference lecture
Open AccessMachine Learning has become 'commodity' in engineering and experimental sciences, as calculus and statistics did before. After the hype produced during the 00's, machine learning (statistical learning, neural networks, ... -
LAEC: Look-Ahead Error Correction Codes in Embedded Processors L1 Data Cache
(IEEE, 2019-05-16)
Conference lecture
Open AccessAs implementation technology shrinks, the presence of errors in cache memories is becoming an increasing issue in all computing domains. Critical systems, e.g. space and automotive, are specially exposed and susceptible ... -
Assessing the Adherence of an Industrial Autonomous Driving Framework to ISO 26262 Software Guidelines
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2019-06-06)
Conference lecture
Open AccessThe complexity and size of Autonomous Driving (AD) software are comparably higher than that of software implementing other (standard) functionalities in the car. To make things worse, a big fraction of AD software is not ... -
Approximating a Multi-Grid Solver
(IEEE, 2019-02-14)
Conference lecture
Open AccessMulti-grid methods are numerical algorithms used in parallel and distributed processing. The main idea of multigrid solvers is to speedup the convergence of an iterative method by reducing the problem to a coarser grid a ... -
Switching the substrate preference of fungal aryl-alcohol oxidase: towards stereoselective oxidation of secondary benzyl alcohols
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-01-22)
Article
Open AccessOxidation of primary alcohols by aryl-alcohol oxidase (AAO), a flavoenzyme that provides H2O2 to fungal peroxidases for lignin degradation in nature, is achieved by concerted hydroxyl proton transfer and stereoselective ... -
Climate controls on snow reliability in French Alps ski resorts
(Nature Research, 2019-05-29)
Article
Open AccessSki tourism is a major sector of mountain regions economy, which is under the threat of long-term climate change. Snow management, and in particular grooming and artificial snowmaking, has become a routine component of ski ... -
Towards limiting the impact of timing anomalies in complex real-time processors
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2019-01-21)
Conference report
Open AccessTiming verification of embedded critical real-time systems is hindered by complex designs. Timing anomalies, deeply analyzed in static timing analysis, require specific solutions to bound their impact. For the first time, ... -
Towards Ad Hoc Recovery for Soft Errors
(IEEE, 2018-12-06)
Conference lecture
Open AccessThe coming exascale era is a great opportunity for high performance computing (HPC) applications. However, high failure rates on these systems will hazard the successful completion of their execution. Bit-flip errors in ... -
HERMESv3, a stand-alone multi-scale atmospheric emission modelling framework – Part 1: global and regional module
(European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2019-05-14)
Article
Open AccessAbstract Back to top We present the High-Elective Resolution Modelling Emission System version 3 (HERMESv3), an open source, parallel and stand-alone multi-scale atmospheric emission modelling framework that computes ... -
Impact of reanalysis boundary conditions on downscaled Atlantic hurricane activity
(Springer, 2019-03)
Article
Open AccessClimate models are capable of producing features similar to tropical cyclones, but typically display strong biases for many of the storm physical characteristics due to their relatively coarse resolution compared to the ...
