Castilla y León reibeates a new recognition of its commitment to digital transformation. In this case it has been through the Castilla y León Supercomputing Center (SCAYLE)who has received the Digital Transformation of the Aslan Association –Formed by manufacturers and operators committed to ICT innovation and cybersecurity – by the renewal of the calendula supercomputer.
An award that, according to the Department of Mobility and Digital Transformation that directs José Luis Sanz Merinois a new impulse to scientific research and the development of artificial intelligence.
During the past year, after an investment of 6.2 million euros from the regional executive, The calendula superordinate multiplied its calculation power by tenuntil reaching 7,000 teraflopswhich means that it has the ability to perform 7,000 million million operations per second or of Read in a single second 12,000 books like ‘El Quijote’.
This investment positions calendula as eThe second most powerful supercomputer From all over the country, only behind the Marenostrum of the National Center for Supercomputing BSC.
The extension of its capacity allows thousands of scientific experiments to be carried out at the same time through simulations to accelerate, for example, the discovery of new medications; improve early detection, The accuracy in the diagnoses and the effectiveness of medical therapies.
Along with this, multiply the potential of companies, which translates into improving the design of their prototypes and the optimization of the Logistics, energy and industrial processes.
Also, the field benefits from the calculation power offered by calendula, since Improves the prediction of atmospheric phenomena and of the propagation of fires, control of plants diseases or cattle selection.
This investment is part of impulse that the Junta de Castilla y León is making in Scayle, where investments this legislature will reach 20 million euros with the construction of a new headquarters
