New international consortium formed to create trustworthy and reliable generative AI models for science
Written by Charlie Catlett Originally published by Argonne National Laboratory on 10 November 2023, here Trillion Parameter Consortium launches with dozens of founding partners from around the world. The initiative brings together teams of researchers engaged in creating large-scale generative AI models to address key challenges in advancing AI for science. A global consortium of scientists from
From radar to radio astronomy to super computing
Our first decade following in Joe Pawsey’s footsteps In our first decade, the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre has contributed to revealing the mysteries of the Universe: finding slowly spinning neutron stars, weighing galaxies to identify dark matter, finding gravitational waves, even hunting for signs of interstellar civilisations. These projects and many more are possible today
Supercomputing Merit Allocation Schemes – NOW OPEN!
Supercomputing Merit Allocation Schemes for 2023 allocation round are now open. The National Computational Merit Allocation Scheme (NCMAS) is Australia’s premiere grant scheme for access to high-performance computing (HPC) resources. The two Tier-1 HPC facilities in Australia, the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) and the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre, together offer hundreds of millions of hours
Promising beginnings for Australia’s newest supercomputer
Australia’s newest supercomputer, Setonix, has produced a highly detailed image of a supernova remnant immediately after the computing system’s first stage was made available to researchers. Data used to create the image was collected with CSIRO’s ASKAP radio telescope, which is owned and operated by Australia’s national science agency, on Wajarri Yamatji Country in Western
Pawsey Installs First Room-Temperature On-Premises Quantum Computer in a Supercomputing Centre

HPC Australia Update: Infrastructure accelerating Australian science and research
Superior infrastructure In recent years, Australia’s Tier-1 High Performance Computing (HPC) centres, the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre and National Computational Infrastructure, have undergone significant infrastructure upgrades. In its second full year of operations in 2021, NCI’s supercomputer, Gadi, has been on track to do more than 800 million hours of computing for its users. With
Pawsey partners with CSC, host site for LUMI, Queen of the North
The Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre in Western Australia and CSC – IT Center for Science in Finland have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in a collaborative partnership to achieve strategic global objectives. The two organisations wish to implement a fruitful exchange of information regarding supercomputers, solely for peaceful purposes to promote research and development,
Pawsey provides the first look at Setonix, wrapped in stars
The first phase of what will be the fastest public research supercomputer in the Southern Hemisphere has been unveiled at its new home at the Pawsey Centre in Western Australia, resplendent in artwork that reflects the skies it will help researchers to unlock. Stage 1 of Pawsey’s new $48 million HPE Cray EX supercomputer known
2022 Partner allocations are open!
Calls are now open for supercomputing time in 2022 through NCMAS and Pawsey Partner schemes. This will be your first opportunity to access Setonix, Pawsey’s new HPE Cray EX Supercomputer, and Acacia, the Centre’s high-speed object storage system. Most Important Changes The Pawsey Energy & Resources Merit Allocation Scheme has been discontinued. Researchers from the Australian energy and
Pawsey to deploy 130PB of multi-tier storage
Pawsey Supercomputing Centre will become home to one of the largest research-focused object storage systems in the world, with 130 petabytes of online and offline storage as part of the facility’s $70 million capital refresh project. Pawsey has awarded two contracts for the storage, with a combined value of $7 million, to Dell and Xenon,
