    El Centro de Procesado de Datos (CPD) 3Mares, ubicado en la Facultad de Ciencias de la Universidad de Cantabria (UC), aloja y da soporte vital a los equipos científico-técnicos de carácter computacional y de alto rendimiento, necesarios para el correcto desarrollo de las actividades I+D de diversos grupos de investigación de la UC. Esta infraestructura, puesta en marcha en julio del 2010 y fundamental para la adecuada explotación del equipamiento computacional que aloja, ha alcanzado ya el final de su ciclo de vida, según criterios técnicos. Es por ello por lo que requiere una completa renovación e incorporación de mejoras, que garanticen la continuidad de las actividades de I+D que dependen de dicha infraestructura. Estas mejoras consisten en la adquisición de nuevo equipamiento de climatización, con una alta eficiencia energética y un menor impacto medioambiental. En la actualidad, el CPD aloja el cluster de HPC/HTC Calderon y varios clusters de apoyo a la investigación del SdeI, así como el Servicio de Datos Climáticos. Con todo ello, la infraestructura da apoyo a múltiples proyectos nacionales, H2020, ERA-NET, y contratos de investigación nacionales e internacionales. Áreas de I+D enmarcadas en la solicitud: Arquitectura de Computadores, Física Teórica de la Materia Condensada, Meteorología y Clima, Termodinámica y Física Estadística, Economía y Participación Laboral de la Mujer, Física Computacional de Materiales, Ingeniería Oceanográfica y de Costas y Ciencia de Datos.

    The Data Processing Center (CPD) 3Mares, located in the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Cantabria (UC), hosts and provides support to the scientific-technical equipment of a high-performance computational nature, necessary for the correct development of the activities of various UC research groups. This infrastructure, launched in July 2010 and fundamental for the adequate exploitation of the computer equipment it houses, has already reached the end of its life cycle, according to technical criteria. That is why it requires a complete renovation and incorporation of improvements, which guarantee the continuity of the R & D activities that depend on said infrastructure. These improvements consist in the acquisition of new air conditioning equipment, with a high energy efficiency and a lower environmental impact. Currently, the CPD hosts the HPC / HTC Calderon cluster and the support clusters for SdeI research, as well as the Climate Data Service. With all this, the infrastructure supports multiple national projects, H2020, ERA-NET, and national and international research contracts. These R & D activities are from the following areas: Computer Architecture, Theoretical Physics of Condensed Matter, Meteorology and Climate, Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics, Economics and Labor Participation of Women, Computational Physics of Materials, Oceanographic and Coastal Engineering and Data Science.
