Resum

Supercomputing has become an accelerator; its use is now essential in almost all scientific disciplines. Established a little more than ten years ago, the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) provides computing services for the European scientific community, carries out in-depth research in different fields, collaborates with multiple research centers and develops technologies for different sectors of society. Based on its capabilities and the skills of the responsible team, the BSC is planning to enlarge both its facilities and its penetration into the scientific and industrial communities as one of the most powerful tools to develop complex research.
