Under
the Severo Ochoa programme, the BSC will carry out multidisciplinary
research to address the complex challenges in the path towards Exascale
computing, co-developing energy efficient and high performance hardware
and software platforms with applications in personalised medicine,
modelling of human organs, and global models for climate change and air
quality prediction. Within this context the
senior development engineer will
support computational development and performance analysis of
NMMB/BSC-CTM multiscale model, with the aim to develop new efficient
numerical modelling tools to take advantage of new exascale computing
environments.
