The Institute of Biocomputing and Physics of Complex Systems (BIFI) is a university research institute belonging to the University of Zaragoza (UNIZAR). The Institute was founded in 2002 and its research activity is structured around four main areas: Biochemistry and Molecular and Cellular Biology, Physics, Biophysics and Computing.  

The area of Computing plays a dual role: on the one hand, it provides calculation services to researchers of the Institute and other users/external entities; on the other, it conducts research in the various emerging paradigms of scientific/distributed computing.  

The BIFI manages Caesaraugusta a supercomputer of 3,072 cores and 25 Tflops/s, current node of Aragón in the RES. This computing infrastructure is also complemented by 10,000 cores donated through voluntary computing projects (Ibercivis) and 2 special-purpose supercomputers (JANUS I and II) dedicated to materials science calculations, which are equivalent to several thousand cores. Specifically, Caesaraugusta provides 20% of its power to the RES.
