The '''Supercomputing and Visualization Center of Madrid''' (or CeSViMa for short) (In Spanish, Centro de Supercomputación y Visualización de [[Madrid]]) depends on the Computer Science Faculty of the [[Technical University of Madrid]]. This center houses [[Magerit]], the second most powerful supercomputer in Spain. This center is a member of the [[Spanish Supercomputing Network]], the ''Spanish e-Science Network'' and the ''[[Madrid]] Laboratories and Infraestructures Network''.

The '''Supercomputing and Visualization Center of Madrid''' (or '''CeSViMa'''), foralso short)called '''Madrid Supercomputing and Visualization Center''' (Inin Spanish, Centro de Supercomputación y Visualización de [[Madrid]]), depends on the Computer[[computer Sciencescience]] Facultyfaculty of the [[Technical University of Madrid]]. This center houses [[Magerit]], theone secondof the most powerful supercomputersupercomputers 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. The 70% of the supercomputer CPU time is used for RES researches while the 30% is used for Madrid reserarches.

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''.
