About a hundred leading scientists and experts in the field of scientific computing are currently gathering in Barcelona. They are taking part in the IBM supported ScicomP meeting, addressing various aspects of porting and optimizing applications to IBM latest hardware systems. This year’s event is hosted and organized by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC).
The meeting started out with workshop and tutorial sessions on how to make efficient use of the PowerXCell Architecture which can also be found in the Playstation 3.
In addition, BSC offers daily tours showing mare nostrum, one of Europe’s fastes supercomputers. This supercomputer is very likely the first one which has been installed in a church.
