Fundación Centro Tecnológico de Supercomputación de Galicia

CESGA (Galicia Supercomputing Centre) was founded in 1993 by the regional government of Galicia (Xunta de Galicia) and the National Research Council (CSIC) to promote and provide supercomputing facilities to the regional and national researchers. Nowadays, they are more than 20 people (6 of them are PhD). They provide more than 20.0 Tflops and more than 40 scientific applications, some of them commercial as ANSYS, MATLAB or Gaussian. CESGA is also participating in Grid projects since 1999. Since then, they have participated in several regional, national and international projects (Crossgrid, Irisgrid, EGEE, ProductionGrid, int.eu.grid, Ibergrid, e-IMRT, etc) where they have developed activities mainly in integration, testbed and testing of the software. CESGA main expertise today is in the deployment of Grid solutions, testing and validation, accounting and monitoring. In these two last topics, they are in charge of them in the SW federation of EGEE and they are now the responsible partner for accounting enforcement in EGEE-II. Also they have developed their own tools for monitoring and accounting for their production systems.
