Projectes
Computer systems have faced significant power challenges over the past 20 years; these challenges have shifted from the devices and circuitslevel, to their current position as first-order constraints for system architects and software developers. TANGO s goal is to characterise factorswhich affect power consumption in software development and operation for heterogeneous...
El proyecto está dirigido a contribuir al desarrollo de la fusión nuclear como fuente de energía segura, limpia y prácticamente ilimitada. Se dirige al ITER, un proyecto internacional de I+D en fusión nuclear, que se está construyendo en Francia, el mayor reactor experimental de fusión nuclear del mundo. ITER pretende demostrar...
C3S project that aims to develop climate indicators that can be useful for the energy industry. It will bring together the complementary expertise of 7 climate research and service centers and 10 energy practitioners to demonstrate, from case studies, the value chain from Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) to actionable information in the energy sector. It will deliver 9...
Tropical Cyclones (TCs) rate as the primary natural disaster in the context of causing death, destruction and economic loss. The impact of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans and Sandy on New York testify to their destructive capacity: they have caused combined damage reaching close to $200 billions and consequences of these storms, particularly Katrina, can still be felt to...
Además de la necesidad de ejecutar grandes simulaciones numéricas, el crecimiento exponencial de la cantidad de datos disponibles aporta al método científico un nuevo
paradigma basado en su análisis masivo; "Big Data" se refiere al conjunto de retos tecnológicos asociados con la obtención, gestión, análisis y...
One of the biggest single risks to the operation of the energy network is the meteorology. Both the supply and demand of electricity are strongly influenced by the weather and its modulation over time, the climate variability. The highest priority for the energy network operators is to maintain a balanced system to avoid black-outs. The rapidly evolving energy...
El Barcelona Supercomputing Center-Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) fue distinguido en 2011 con la acreditación Centro de Excelencia Severo Ochoa (SEV-2011-0067) con la...
The ECOMS2 Action will coordinate and support Europe´s knowledge base to enable better management of climate-related risks and opportunities thereby creating greater social and economic value. ECOMS2 has four main objectives:
1. Develop a European framework for Earth-system modelling and climate service activities. The framework will be built...
This project aims to apply the new exascale HPC techniques to energy industry simulations, customizing them, and going beyond the state-of-the art in the required HPC exascale simulations for different energy sources: wind energy production and design, efficient combustion systems forbiomass-derived fuels (biogas), and exploration geophysics for hydrocarbon reservoirs. For...
Genomics is probably the fastest evolving field in current science. A decade ago our main concern was to obtain the sequence (the 1D code) of the genome; but today the big challenges are to determine how genotype information is transferred into phenotype, and how pathological phenotypic changes can be predicted from genome alterations. While investigating these points, we...
