Barcelona Supercomputing Centerが ECRI2010 (3/23-24) の共同開催だった
だからだと思いますが、ECRI2919で公表？
"Science Minister confirmed that Barcelona in 2012 will have a super computer,
 cost 100,000,000 Euro", 25/03/10
  http://www.barcelonareporter.com/index.php?/news/comments/science_minister_confirmed_that_barcelona_in_2012_will_have_a_super_compute/

  "the governing council (BSC-CNS), decided two weeks ago, that
   Spain's contribution to this project will be a total of
   one hundred million euros, of which 60 million will go towards
   a super computer to be located in Barcelona."
※2週間前の決定ネタ
