Magerit is one of the most powerful supercomputers in Spain. It also reached the second best Spanish position in the TOP500 list of supercomputers. It is installed in CeSViMa, a research center of the Technical University of Madrid.
Magerit was first installed in 2006 and reached the 9th fastest in Europe and the 34th in the world,[2] the second best position of a Spanish supercomputer in the list. It also reached the 275th position in the first Green500 list published.[3] It is no longer among the TOP500.
The second version, installed in 2011 reached the 1st position of Spain, 44th of Europe and 136th fastest of the world.[4] It also reached the 18th position in the Green500 list.[5]
Magerit (for *Materit or *Mageterit) is the most ancient recorded name of the current city of Madrid. The name comes from the Arabic name of a fortress built on the Manzanares River in the 9th century AD, and means "place of abundant water".[6]
