The '''Supercomputing and Visualization Center of Madrid''' ('''CeSViMa'''), also called '''Madrid Supercomputing and Visualization Center''' (Inin Spanish, Centro de Supercomputación y Visualización de [[Madrid]]), depends on the [[computer science]] faculty of the [[Technical University of Madrid]]. This center houses [[Magerit]], one of the most powerful supercomputers in Spain. This center is a member of the [[Spanish Supercomputing Network]], the ''Spanish e-Science Network'' and the ''[[Madrid]] Laboratories and Infraestructures Network''.

== History ==

In 2004, CeSViMa was created by the [[Technical University of Madrid]] and [[CIEMAT]]. The aim of the center is to provide computation resources to the researchers of [[Madrid]]. [[IBM]] provided the supercomputer Magerit in the center. The center also has an interactive [[Three-dimensional space|3D visualization infrastructure]] and a [[terrestrial scanner]].

In 2007, CeSViMa joined the [[Spanish Supercomputing Network]] and the supercomputer [[Magerit]] was upgraded.

In May 2008, the center migrated all its infrastructure to a new building in the newly created in the International Excellence Campus of Montegancedo,<ref>[http://www.upm.es/CEI_Montegancedo/propuesta/2010/educacion/index_en.html I2tech Montegancedo] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110519223114/http://www.upm.es/CEI_Montegancedo/propuesta/2010/educacion/index_en.html |date=19 May 2011 }}</ref> site of Scientific and Technologic Park of the Technical University of Madrid ({{coord|40|24|15.65|N|03|50|4.75|W|type:edu_scale:2500|display=inline,title}}). The supercomputer was upgraded again and reach 16 [[TFLOPS]]. 60% of the supercomputer CPU time is used for RES research; the remaining 40% is used for Madrid research.

During 2009, the center joined the ''Spanish e-Science Network'' and the ''[[Madrid]] Laboratories and Infrastructures Network''.
