Description
"MareNostrum 5" is designed to enable the science from all users and all domains, from engineering, chemistry, climate or energy, with a diversity of system architectures, using numerical methods or AI codes. MareNostrum5 is a system with a large partition of general-purpose processors and a significantly large GPU partition of the latest available processors in the market, all with a centralized high speed and high capacity disk, and an HSM tape library for data storage.
The acquisition and operation of the EuroHPC supercomputer is funded jointly by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, through the European Union’s Connecting Europe Facility and the Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, as well as the Participating States Spain, Portugal, Croatia, and Turkey.
It will be installed at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, and managed by BSC operations department, including the groups of system administration, facility management, and user support. This later group will be complemented with user support from Portugal and Turkey.
The selection of Barcelona as host for MareNostrum5 includes as well the development of an Experimental Platform to create supercomputing technologies “made in Europe”.
