Barcelona Supercomputing Center Puts Beauty of HPC on Display
CASE STUDY High Performance Computing (HPC) Beauty and High Performance Computing Under Glass at Barcelona Supercomputing Center Intel® Omni-Path Architecture and Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor Family enable breakthrough European science using 13.7 petaFLOPS MareNostrum 4 Challenge MareNostrum 4 In publicly and privately funded computational science research, dollars (or • Spain’s 13.7 petaFLOPS Euros in this case) follow FLOPS. And when you’re one of the leading computing supercomputer contributes centers in Europe with a reputation around the world of highly reliable, leading- to the Partnership for edge technology resources, you look for the best in supercomputing in order to Advanced Computing in continue supporting breakthrough research. Thus, Barcelona Supercomputing Europe (PRACE) and supports Center (BSC), or Centro Nacional de Supercomputación, is driven to build leading the Spanish Supercomputing supercomputing clusters for its research clients in the public and private sectors. Network (RES) “We have the privilege of users coming back to us each year to run their projects,” said Sergi Girona, BSC’s Operations Department Director. “They return because we • 3,456 nodes of Intel® Xeon® reliably provide the technology and services they need year after year, and because Scalable Processors, plus our systems are of the highest level.” 0.5 petaFLOPS cluster of Intel® Xeon Phi™ Processors Supported by the Spanish and Catalan governments and funded by the Ministry (codenamed Knights Landing of Economy and Competitiveness with €34 million in 2015, BSC sought to take its MareNostrum 3 system to the next-generation of computing capabilities. It and Knights Hill) specified multiple clusters for both general computational needs of ongoing • Intel® Omni-Path Architecture research, and for development of next-generation codes for many integrated core interconnects multiple (MIC) supercomputing and tools for the Exascale computing era. -

The investment, which was announced on Thursday, is part of a wide-ranging strategy to make the UK a global leader in AI and big data. More Channels Under the investment, known as the “AI Sector Deal,” government, industry, and academia will contribute £603 million in new funding, adding to the £342 million already allocated in existing budgets. That brings the grand total to Showcase £945 million, or about $1.3 billion at the current exchange rate. The UK RSS Channel Showcase 1586818 government is also looking to increase R&D spending across all disciplines by 2.4 percent, while also raising the R&D tax credit from 11 to 12 percent. This is RSS Channel Showcase 2022206 part of a broader commitment to raise government spending in this area from RSS Channel Showcase 8083573 around £9.5 billion in 2016 to £12.5 billion in 2021.
