International Conference on Membrane Computing, ICMC 2020, September 14-18, 2020, Vienna (Austria) and Ulaanbaatar (Mongolia). The 9th ACMC 2020, Ulaabantar, and the 21st ECMC 2020, Vienna, due to the circumstance of the COVID-19 outbreak, were united in one joint electronic event, the ICMC 2020.
  • M.J. Pérez-Jiménez (Keynote Speaker). From viruses to cells: Membrane systems modelling pandemics. Invited talk. The 15th International Conference on Bio-inspired Computing: Theories and applications, BICTA 2020, October 23-25, 2020, Qingdao (China).
• 23-07-2020. Our colleague David Orellana-Martín has created a Latex package for Membrane Computing. It has been published in CTAN in this link.
• 11-06-2020. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, as well as its experiments, are being updated for its setting up at the end of 2021. In this context, the project "Allen" has been selected as the technology to be implemented for the first stage of data filtering in real time in the LHCb detector, one of the four big detectors located in the LHC. The key of this project is to rely on the power of parallelism of graphic cards (GPUs), obtaining a qualitative and quantitative leap with respect to the previous architecture, based on conventional processing units.

  The proposal is co-leaded by Daniel Hugo Cámpora-Pérez, that materialized his research about this innovative proposal in his PhD thesis, co-supervised by Agustín Riscos-Núñez (Universidad de Sevilla) and Niko Neufeld (CERN), and that was defended last November 29 of 2019 at the Universidad de Sevilla, obtaining the highest score Sobresaliente cum laude, and with mentions doctorado industrial and doctorado internacional.

  The international team that has co-leaded the project is completed by the physicists Roel Aaij (NIKHEF, Amsterdam) and Dorothea vom Bruch (LPNHE, Paris). The project Allen is pioneering, being the first data filtering software (also known as "High Level Trigger") of a LHC experiment made entirely on graphic cards. The leap in computing power derived from graphic cards will benefit without a doubt the research on particle physics in the LHCb experiment, and will transform the LHCb computer farm in one of the most powerful computer farms of the world.
