Video: Supercomputing and eScience – How HPC Matters

Our Video Sunday feature continues with this documentary on the impact of supercomputers, both in science and our daily lives. Produced by the Barcelona Supercomputer Center, this timely video is right in step with the SC14 theme of HPC Matters.

The results shown were obtained in the project Consolider: Supercomputación y e-Ciencia (Supercomputing and e-Science) which is part of the Consolider — Ingenio 2010 programme. Its main goal is to advance in the field of applied supercomputing through several areas of science. Coordinated by the BSC, this project intends to boost cooperation between 21 Spanish research groups, broaden the culture of supercomputing in Spain and also have a say in the design and efficient use of present and future supercomputers.
