The Display Equipment of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS) has just got the recognition of “The Best video of the Year”, because they have created a simulation of the human heart.
Here you can watch the Video.Please click down here, on the link and, after, on the window up and right of the website:

The Award, given by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the magazine “Science”, to the video named “Alya Red: a computational heart”, consists in the presentation of this project and another ones, published in that magazine, February.
This video has competed between 200 projects, from 18 countries.Members of the magazine and of the NSF selected the most outstanding and they published the result in a website.Then, people could vote to those projects.There were more than 3.150 votes.The Alya Red got the both awards: from the jury and from the popular vote. The BSC-CNS has a team of scientific visualization, in close collaboration with researchers; this team develops videos and images that help to interpret the data so as to release.
The team is composed of a heterogeneous mix of scientists, engineers and graphic designers trying to get numerical data representations to highlight science correctly and, at the same time visually appealing. "Alya Red: a computational heart" describes research conducted by scientists from the center of Barcelona and his collaborators, emphasizing the complexity of the problem and describing the modern techniques used to attack him. As highlighted supercomputing center, the arc of the video goes through the motivation, the means and goals of the project and the underlying theme is the ancient heart of the problem and the use of supercomputers to try to understand.
The winner audiovisual shows, through the mixture of ancient medical imaging and 3D representations, the computer simulations. "Alya Network, a project of Biomechanics", takes its name from Alya System, the simulation tool made entirely in the BSC-CNS. It aims to develop a computer model to simulate the functioning of the human heart and is being developed by a multidisciplinary team involving physicians, bioengineers and researchers in medical imaging and supercomputing.
Today, thanks to Alya Red, scientists involved in the project can simulate ventricular models from real geometries. Another objective is to create a new tool to help better understand the functioning of the cardiovascular system to medical and pharmaceutical clinical research. This tool will be a simulation technology infrastructure related to high performance computing (HPC, by the acronym for High Performance Computing).
I want to send my congratulations to this team from the Barcelona Supercomputing Center.
Best regards,
Luis.
