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 researchesresearch while the 30% is used for Madrid reserarchesresearch.

In May [[2008]], the center migrates all its infraestructure to a new building in the newly created 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 is upgraded again and reach 16 TFLOPS. The 60% of the supercomputer CPU time is used for RES researches while the 40% is used for Madrid reserarches.

During [[2009]] the center joins the ''Spanish e-Science Network'' and the ''[[Madrid]] Laboratories and Infraestructures Network''.

The spanishSpanish project [[Blue Brain|Cajal Blue Brain]] is carrying out in the facilities of the CeSViMa. The project also uses the computing resources of Magerit supercomputer

The center also colaboratescollaborates in the retransmisionretransmission of a [[Solar eclipse]] from [[Russia]].

It also organizes conferences about supercomputing, new developments in hardware and software, scientific publications...
