From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Supercomputing and Visualization Center of Madrid (or CeSViMa for short) (In Spanish, Centro de Supercomputación y Visualización de Madrid) depends on the Computer Science Faculty of the Technical University of Madrid. This center houses Magerit, the second most powerful supercomputer in Spain. This center and its supercomputer is a member of the Spanish Supercomputing Network.
In 2004 CeSViMa was created by the Technical University of Madrid and CIEMAT. The aim of the center is to provide computation resources to the researchers of Madrid. IBM provided the supercomputer Magerit in the center. The center also has an interactive 3D visualization infrastructure and a terrestrial scanner.
In 2007 CeSViMa joined the Spanish Supercomputing Network and the supercomputer Magerit was upgraded. The 70% of the supercomputer CPU time is used for RES researches while the 30% is used for Madrid reserarches.
