Els alumnes dels cicles formatius  ASI i ESI  han visitat les instal·lacions de supercomputador “MARE NOSTRUM”, situat a la UPC

BSC-CNS hosts MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputer in Europe and the number 77 in the world, according to the last Top500 list. In March 2004 the Spanish government and IBM signed an agreement to build one of the the fastest computer in Europe. In November 2006 its capacity has been increased due to the large demand of scientific projects. MareNostrum has increased the calculation capacity of the supercomputer MareNostrum, until reaching 94.21 Teraflops (94.21 trillions of operations per second), doubling its previous capacity (42.35 Teraflops). It had 4.812 processors and has now 10.240 processors with a final calculation capacity of 94.21 Teraflops.
