Overview
The Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) stands as a prominent institution in high-performance computing, tracing its roots to its establishment in 2005 through collaborative efforts involving the Spanish government, the Government of Catalonia, and the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC).
Recognised for its unique data centre housed in the historic Torre Girona Chapel on the UPC campus, the BSC operates the MareNostrum supercomputer, a computational powerhouse addressing diverse scientific challenges.
Originally a religious site dating back to the early 20th century, the Torre Girona Chapel was repurposed to accommodate the MareNostrum, a supercomputer renowned for its processing power, storage capacity, and contributions to scientific research. The BSC utilises renewable energy sources to power the data centre, which is used to support the ongoing technical and research requirements of the work carried out there.
