EUrope-BRAzil Collaboration on ´BIG Data Scientific REsearch thorugh Cloud-Centric Applications´ aims to provide services in the cloud for the processing of massive data coming from highly connected societies, which impose multiple challenges on resource provision, performance, Quality of Service and privacy. Processing those data require rapidly provisioned...

HiPEAC is a support action that aims to structure and strengthen the European academic and industrial communities in computing systems: (i) by increasing innovation awareness and by encouraging researchers to engage in innovation activities; (ii) by professionally disseminating program achievements beyond the traditional scientific venues; (iii) by producing a vision document...

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...

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...
