Supercomputing and Visualization Center of Madrid, Research computing center at Technical University of Madrid, Spain

The Supercomputing and Visualization Center of Madrid is a research computing facility at Technical University of Madrid located on Montegancedo Campus. It houses the Magerit supercomputer, a powerful system designed to handle complex calculations for scientific research and data analysis across multiple disciplines.

The center was established in 2004 through a partnership between Technical University of Madrid and CIEMAT, relocating to Montegancedo Campus in 2008. This move strengthened the facility's research infrastructure and positioned it as a central hub for Spain's supercomputing resources.

The center's name comes from Magerit, the Arabic name of Madrid. Its staff support the Cajal Blue Brain project, the Spanish branch of Blue Brain, which aims to simulate how the brain works using Magerit's computing resources. CeSViMa also organizes conferences on supercomputing and hardware and software developments, and it took part in broadcasting a solar eclipse from Novosibirsk, Russia.

The facility is accessible to researchers and scientific institutions that can request access through formal proposals submitted to the Spanish Supercomputing Network's Access Committee. Entry for external users follows a structured application process that evaluates the quality and relevance of planned research projects.

In the July 2011 TOP500 and Green500 rankings, Magerit placed 136th and 18th respectively, making it Spain's most powerful supercomputer and among the world's most energy-efficient. The center also helped broadcast a solar eclipse from Novosibirsk, Russia.
