Three times more storage and performance for SKA pathfinders
As part of the Pawsey Capital Refresh, the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre is boosting high-speed storage for researchers using CSIRO’s Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP)and the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) radio telescopes by providing three times as much storage and three times as much performance. Supercomputing is often associated with raw processing power, the ability
Pawsey take the night’s sky
On a cold, August morning, six Pawsey staff set off to Geraldton, a regional town over 400 kilometres away from Perth. With stars on their minds, the team were destined for the Murchison Radio Observatory (MRO) – a radio-silent zone a further 350 kilometres from Geraldton. The MRO currently hosts two world-leading radio astronomy telescopes,
Expertise accelerates user workflows
Pawsey Uptake Projects – making the most of HPC Pawsey Uptake Projects are designed to improve the quality and capability of projects making use of Pawsey facilities. As Pawsey services are shared but finite resources, using these services in the most efficient way enables HPC allocations to be stretched to benefit even more users. In
Science world focused on WA as telescopes scan the universe
The Square Kilometre Array will provide a boost for science in WA, but there was a point nearly a decade ago where the project could have been lost to the state.
Hyperscale and hyper-connectivity: an emerging HPC Asian Zone
Australian delegations have joined the Singapore National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) to commend the S$200m investment announcement, boosting their supercomputing power. The announcement was made by Singapore’s Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat during SupercomputingAsia (SCA) 2019. The conference is an annual event that encompasses an umbrella of notable supercomputing and allied events in Asia. The Pawsey
GPU Hackathon returns to WA
Pawsey Supercomputing Centre is hosting a five-day ‘GPU hackathon’ to help computer scientists port applications to general-purpose graphics processing units (GPGPUs). While GPUs offer high memory bandwidth and performance, those wanting to utilise them face significant difficulty in programming them, the Perth supercomputing centre said. The hackathon, which will take place at CORE Innovation Hub
