Brief description
A laboratory dedicated to marine and coastal environmental simulation, based on numerical modelling and the use of AI. The laboratory's activity is research-centred, with teaching carried out through thesis students and PhD candidates.
Equipment
SiNCEM is equipped with computing and storage infrastructure dedicated to research in numerical modelling, ML, and computationally intensive data analysis:
Calypso high-performance server: a multiprocessor system with 1 TB of RAM, designed for parallel numerical simulations and large-scale climate and oceanographic dataset analysis. The system features 200 TB of storage in RAID configuration, ensuring redundancy, data integrity, and high-performance access for long-term scientific data archives.
Dedicated GPU-accelerated servers for the development and training of machine learning and deep learning models applied to oceanographic, climate, and coastal processes, including Graph Neural Network (GNN)-based emulators and autoregressive models for extreme value analysis.
