Magerit - UPM

The Centro de Supercomputación y Visualización de Madrid (CeSViMa) was established in late 2004 at the Montegancedo Campus of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), with the aim of meeting the intensive computing needs of the university's research projects. CeSViMa operates the Magerit supercomputer, its main scientific computing infrastructure. The name Magerit derives from one of the earliest recorded names of the settlement that gave rise to modern Madrid, referring to the abundance of water in the area. CeSViMa was one of the founding nodes of the Spanish Supercomputing Network (RES) when it was established in 2007, leaving the network in December 2018 after more than a decade of contributions to Spain's national HPC infrastructure. In April 2026, Magerit node rejoined the RES, bringing a computing capacity of 370.5 TFlop/s made available to the scientific community through the network's competitive access calls.
