Agustina - BIFI
The Instituto de Biocomputación y Física de Sistemas Complejos from Universidad de Zaragoza manages the Agustina supercomputer. It is a member of the Spanish Supercomputing Network and the Spanish e-Science Network.
BIFI hosts the Aragon Supercomputing Center (CESAR), a computing infrastructure that encompasses a wide range of HPC, cloud, volunteer computing, and dedicated computers technologies. The most powerful and recent supercomputer available in its facilities is Agustina cluster. BIFI offers their supercomputers jointly under the name "Agustina".
The HPC computing resources offer several million CPU hours and hundreds of terabytes of storage per year to BIFI researchers (and their collaborators) and external users through the Spanish Supercomputing Network, the Hosted Clusters program, and other provided services.
