The Universitat Jaume I of Castelló has launched the new scientific computing cluster that will serve to enhance the R+D+i tasks of the university research groups of the UJI in areas such as chemistry, materials, biophysics, parallel and distributed computing, engineering or experimental and computational economics. This renovated infrastructure will also be available to other public and private research centres.

The new equipment, located in the Walhalla building and managed by the Computing Service, has been financed through a project of the Sub-programme for Research Infrastructures and Scientific-Technical Equipment of the Plan for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation 2017-2020, co-financed by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) with a total investment cost of 399,999.38 euros.

The renovation and modernisation of the computer equipment dedicated to scientific computing greatly improves the performance and energy efficiency of the previous equipment. In fact, the number of available cores has doubled, but consumption has only increased by 1.3x, while computational efficiency has increased by 9.3x. This will allow the University's research groups to continue working at the forefront of knowledge, as well as maintaining the complexity and complementarity of the studies carried out by different groups in different lines of research, "thus providing them with a fundamental tool that will allow them to continue to be competitive at an international level", according to Jesús Lancis, Vice-Rector for Research and Transfer.

In the opinion of the project coordinator, Professor of Physical Chemistry Vicent Moliner, "the fact of having local resources greatly facilitates and speeds up research tasks, as it allows tests to be carried out and intermediate results to be generated in short periods of time, as well as designing experiments or developing software that can be applied later in a wide range of fields". For the Vice-Rector Jesús Lancis, "the growing symbiosis between the use of experimental techniques and computational methods has contributed to the fact that, in recent decades, large research projects have become interdisciplinary".

The Systems Infrastructure Area of the Computing Service, which has been responsible since the creation of the public university of Castellón for the installation, management and maintenance of the tools assigned to high-performance computing, has been responsible for the technical management of the installation of the new equipment. It is expected that this infrastructure "will serve to ensure that many of the future projects have a technological and direct application in the productive fabric, thus contributing to scientific and technical progress with social impact in areas such as public health, disability or other areas of social inclusion", says the research team.

At the UJI there are several groups whose research is linked to the use of high-performance computers. In the field of chemistry and materials, the groups of Computational Biochemistry, Theoretical and Computational Chemistry, Quantum Chemistry or Advanced Semiconductors; in the field of biophysics, the groups of Molecular Biophysics and Membrane Transport; in the field of parallel and distributed computing, the High Performance Computing and Architectures group; in the field of engineering, the Multiphase Fluids, Computation of Structures and Computational Mechanics, Biomechanics and Ergonomics groups; and in the field of economics, the Experimental and Computational Economics group.
