== 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. 70% of the supercomputer CPU time is used for RES research; the remaining 30% is used for Madrid research.

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]</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.

({{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''.

The center also collaborates in the retransmission of a [[Solar eclipse]] from [[Russia]].

ItThe center also organizes conferences about supercomputing, new developments in hardware and software, scientific publications... and other science activies. For example, it collaborates in the retransmission of a [[Solar eclipse]] from [[Novosibirsk]], [[Russia]]<ref>[http://www.solareclipse.es/eclipse2008/en.html Solar Eclipse Broadcasting, August 1st, 2008]</ref>.
