Projects and research
Computer resources
Due to the large computational needs of the Laboratory, it makes use of both internal and external resources through collaborations:
- The CIEMAT computing centre, with the following computers:
- JEN50 (Origin, currently being phased out)
- Lince (PC cluster)
- Fenix (PC cluster)
- Euler (PC cluster, 1152 Xeon cores, 13.8 Tflops)
- The Barcelona Supercomputing Centre
- BIFI (at the University of Zaragoza)
- EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-SciencE, a European computational grid)
- Ibercivis (Spanish computational grid)
Collaborations
The Laboratory participates in many international projects, such as:
