FinisterraeIII - CESGA
The Centro de Supercomputación de Galicia (CESGA), promoted by the Xunta de Galicia and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), it began its activity in 1993. Today, it is a Public Foundation serving various research, development, and innovation communities. In 2008, CESGA was recognized as a Unique Scientific and Technical Infrastructure of the State (ICTS). In 2014, CESGA joined the RES, contributing to the Network a part of one of the most significant infrastructures it manages, FinisTerraeII. Currently, it hosts the FinisTerraeIII supercomputer.
