The macro European project Human Brain Project, which has made its inaugural meeting in Lausanne, use programming models conducted at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center and MareNostrum. The Human Brain Project has the challenge to understand and simulate the human brain in its different layers, from the genome and cellular levels in neurons, circuits, brain regions and eventually the entire brain. OmpSs and COMPS are two programming models developed at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center-National Supercomputing Center esp (BSC) which will be used for these simulations, large-supercomputers can execute Europeans involved esp in the project and coordinate with each other. OmpSs used to optimize the efficiency of simulations and COMPS will be used primarily esp to coordinate the different levels of simulation between them. In this sense, the challenge is to use COMPS what has come to be called "super-interactive", where this programming model will provide the necessary support for the interaction of multiple simulations to solve a complex problem, with special emphasis on the sharing of data. MareNostrum the emblem of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, run simulations at the neural level. The center is also involved in activities of support and training of researchers unaccustomed to using supercomputers, esp to advise them on how they schedule their applications. Likewise, the proposal to build low-power computers Mont Blanc Project is one of the alternatives considered by BPH for its data processing platform. Five researchers and experts from different parts lead Barcelona Supercomputing Center of the Human Brain Project. Is the Director of Computational Sciences, Jesús Labarta, researcher expert in programming models Rosa M. Bay, the director of operations and head of MareNostrum, Sergi Girona, head of systems MareNostrum, Javier Bartolome (MareNostrum) and researcher Alex Ramirez, esp leader of the project on Mont Blanc computers more energy efficient.
Meeting in Lausanne 135 participating schools project Human Brain Project (HBP) started with a meeting in Lausanne involving 135 European research centers that collaborate. The HBP is defined himself as the world's most ambitious project neuroscientist and co-financed by the European Union with an estimated budget of 1,200 million euros. Its aim is to develop methods that enable a deep understanding of how the human brain operates. esp The acquired knowledge will be key to the development of new tools for medicine and new information technologies.
Six platforms to advance the project's initial mission of BPH is to launch six research platforms, each of which will consist of tools and methods that allow to reach the project objectives. These platforms are: Neuro, brain simulation, high performance computing, computing to medicine and computing Neuromorphic neurorobòtica. Over the next 30 months, scientists will implement and test these platforms. 2016 platform is expected to be ready for use by scientists participating esp in the project.
Neuroscience, medicine and technology: the objectives of the Human Brain Project in the field of neuroscience, researchers must use a large volume of data, particularly data on thousands esp of scientific articles published each year. The mission of the Neuro platform will extract the maximum amount of information possible from these sources and integrate them into a map that covers all organizational levels of the brain, from the brain to the entire esp cell. This information will be used to develop the simulation esp platform of the brain. The platform of high performance computing is responsible for developing and about to have the computing power needed for the simulation can be run. The medico-computing platform will develop methods for the diagnosis of neurological diseases with the goal of being able to detect and diagnose diseases quickly and personally. In a first phase, the platform gather
