#BarcelonaSupercomputingCenter

Best damn wiring job I've ever seen. Puts my server room in Toronto to shame. Mare Nostrum 5 supercomputer, 14th on the Top500 2025 list #marenostrum5 #barcelonasupercomputingcenter bsc.es/marenostrum/marenostrum

Barcelona Supercomputing Centre - MareNostrum5 - showing storage nodes in server cabinets. Colour coded wiring - blue for Storage node, Red for computation node, yellow for networking (if I remember correctly)MareNostrum5 supercomputer - server cabinets, cooling nodes, all arranged in rows and columns.Super Large watercooling pipes and pumps. Colour coded, red probably means hot, green is the intake. Doesn't need "cool" water - just need a small differential to pull heat - so I think the loop is actually pretty hot (a little lower than cpu temp)
Marenostrum — Supercomputing inside a deconsecrated chapel at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center.

Playing in my head: “Navras” by Don Davis & Juno Reactor — the Matrix Revolutions resonance fits.

As I take in the scene, this line echoes through the nave:

«Lux veritatis temporumque testis historia docet, si modo recte dispiciatur diligenterque exploretur, divinam illam a Iesu Christo datam pollicitationem: «Ego vobiscum sum... usque ad consummationem saeculi» numquam Ecclesiae suae sponsae defuisse, adeoque numquam esse in posterum defuturam».

Interior of the Marenostrum supercomputer housed inside a deconsecrated neo-Romanesque chapel. Glass walls reveal the glowing machinery below, framed by stone arches and a stained-glass window above. The contrast between sacred architecture and advanced technology creates a serene, almost spiritual atmosphere.
Playing in my head "Navras" by Don Davis & Juno Reactor (Matrix Revolutions vibes), I take in the scene and it resonates in me:

The MareNostrum Supercomputer inside the chapel in Barcelona. The contrast between cutting-edge technology and historic religious architecture creates a powerful atmosphere. Inspired by “Navras” by Don Davis & Juno Reactor, evoking Matrix Revolutions vibes. A Latin quote reflects on the enduring promise of Christ’s presence throughout time: «Lux veritatis temporumque testis historia docet, si modo recte dispiciatur diligenterque exploretur, divinam illam a Iesu Christo datam pollicitationem: «Ego vobiscum sum... usque ad consummationem saeculi» numquam Ecclesiae suae sponsae defuisse, adeoque numquam esse in posterum defuturam».

Barcelona is greeting us with rainy weather but that doesn't stop us to already work on our #EVERSE general assembly at the #barcelonasupercomputingcenter!

Over 130 professionals from 16 different countries 🌍 came together at our most recent #hackathon in Hamburg! In our latest blogpost, we share with you some of their perspectives. Matias Olmo from #BarcelonaSupercomputingCenter, Stephy Libera from #UCLouvain, Quan Liu from @MPI_Meteo, Alejandro Uribe from #StockholmUniversity talked with us about how the hackathon propitiated a space for collaboration and community-building.🤝

Mare Nostrum 4 at the #barcelonasupercomputingcenter - this machine and building are just beautiful! MN4 is approaching the end of its life and will likely be dismantled before the end of the year. It’s the end of an era. Its replacement, the pre-exascale Mare Nostrum 5, is simply too large to fit in the chapel and MN4 will be the last national supercomputer to live in this building.
