- BSC’s paper ‘The Mont-Blanc Prototype: An Alternative Approach for HPC Systems’ has been selected as a finalist in the best paper awards at the SC16 supercomputing conference. In addition to the Mont-Blanc paper, the SC16 Programme Committee has accepted two other papers submitted by BSC.
- Unprotected Computing: A Large-Scale Study of DRAM Raw Error Rate on a Supercomputer
- MUSA: A Multi-Level Simulation Infrastructure for Next-Generation HPC Machines
Read news Hat-trick of BSC papers accepted for SC16.
- In addition, two BSC projects have been nominated for the 2016 Annual HPC Readers’ Choice Awards in two different categories:
Best Use of HPC Application in Life Sciences
- SMUFIN: The SMUFIN (Somatic MUtations FINder) method is capable of analysing the complete genome of a tumour and identifying its mutations within a few hours and without the need for a pre-alignment step.
Best Use of HPC Application in the Energy (formerly "Oil and Gas") Industry
- BSIT: Barcelona Subsurface Imaging Tools (BSIT) is an extensive set of HPC tools for subsurface imaging, including Modelling, Inversion and Migration of 3D datasets, and is built and ported onto many different HPC architectures, such as Nvidia GPUS, ARM, Intel Xeon and Xeon Phis (KNC & KNL).

- The HPC for Energy project will present a short video on the challenges that our society faces in energy production and consumption and how exascale supercomputing helps to address them. The first showing of the video will take place at the SC16 conference at the Barcelona BSC booth, 15 November 10:30 (local time). The video will be screened throughout the day on SC16 Exhibition.
