General Facilities

VRAIN has its facilities at the UPV building 1F http://www.dsic.upv.es/mapa/valenciano/acceso.pl , where it has individual offices, research laboratories and access to the common areas of the Department of Computer Systems and Computation, administration services, seminars, meeting rooms and the boardroom of the building. http://www.dsic.upv.es/mapa/valenciano/sedeDSIC.pl  

The UPV infrastructures are available to VRAIN staff and collaborators. Of particular interest are the different meeting rooms, halls and auditoriums and the audiovisual services for the organisation of meetings, as well as for the organisation of events or congresses.

Research Facilities

Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence Cluster: A new high-performance computing cluster for Trusted Artificial Intelligence (with the support of GVA and ERDF funds, ref: IDIFEDER/2021/059), with 20 GPUs, valued at 406.511’22€, acquired in 2022.

Scientific Cluster RIGEL: VRAIN has privileged access to RIGEL, UPV’s flagship supercomputing cluster. RIGEL is equipped with 72 CPU parallel processing nodes (BX920S3, Bull R424E4, and Dell PowerEdge R640 nodes) and 2 dedicated GPU nodes (NVIDIA Tesla M2075), connected through a high-speed interconnect and supported by a unified RAID storage system. In 2022-23, RIGEL underwent a major expansion — funded by the Spanish State Research Agency and the European Union through Next Generation EU funds (ref: EQC2021-007509-P) — with an investment of 1.500.000€, substantially increasing its computational throughput and storage capacity.

Research labs: VRAIN has the following research equipment in the research labs:

  • a GPGPU computing cluster for natural language learning and processing,
  • 22 multi-core CPUs and 40 GPUs for scientific computing,
  • 3 networked storage systems,
  • a high-performance transactional server for genomic data storage,
  • a computing cluster for automatic software testing and
  • multiple cyber-physical systems laboratories with a multitude of technological devices (drones, sensors, actuators, Arduino boards, Raspberry Pis, mobile devices, high-performance nodes, ground vehicles, etc. ).
