About BSCThe Barcelona Supercomputing Center - Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) is the leading supercomputing center in Spain.
It houses MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe, was a founding and hosting member of the former European HPC infrastructure PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe), and is now hosting entity for EuroHPC JU, the Joint Undertaking that leads large-scale investments and HPC provision in Europe.
The mission of BSC is to research, develop and manage information technologies in order to facilitate scientific progress.
BSC combines HPC service provision and R&D into both computer and computational science (life, earth and engineering sciences) under one roof, and currently has over **** staff from 60 countries.Look At The BSC ExperienceBSC-CNS YouTube ChannelLet's stay connected with BSC Folks!
We are particularly interested for this role in the strengths and lived experiences of women and underrepresented groups to help us avoid perpetuating biases and oversights in science and IT research.
In instances of equal merit, the incorporation of the under-represented sex will be favoured. We promote Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, fostering an environment where each and every one of us is appreciated for who we are, regardless of our differences.
We value diversity of experiences and skills, and you could bring unique perspectives to our team.
Context And MissionThe Mobile And Embedded-Based HPC Team Focuses On Evaluating Emerging Computing Technologies — From Mobile, Embedded And Other Markets — And Enabling Their Adoption In HPC Contexts.
The Team's Activities Include- Deploying and maintaining a hardware/software infrastructure of HPC prototypes based on emerging technologies (e.G., Arm- and RISC-V-based commercial platforms, FPGA-based systems) operating as compute nodes within an HPC data center.
