Setonix, a state-of-the-art HPE Cray EX supercomputer to be housed at Pawsey Centre, will be built on the same architecture used in world-leading exascale supercomputer projects including Frontier at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and El Capitan at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Stage 1, will provide a 45 percent increase in compute power in one-fifth of the size
Garrawarla, is a Hewlett-Packard GPU cluster compute system. “Garrawarla is a 78-node GPU-enabled compute cluster provided by Hewlett-Packard. It is a dedicated system that is available only to Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) radio astronomers. Garrawarla provides the latest generation of CPUs and GPUs, high memory bandwidth, increased memory, and local storage per node to allow
Topaz, a commodity Linux cluster, provided by Xenon, which is an extension of Zeus. Topaz will be suitable for jobs which can take advantage of the advanced GPU capabilities and latest generation InfiniBand infrastructure. GPUs are accelerators which provide huge amounts of compute power but require less electrical power to run in comparison to conventional CPUs. Topaz
Real-time computing for Australian radio astronomy Our Cray XC30 system, Galaxy, is unique in being the world’s only real-time, supercomputing service for telescopes used in astronomy research. In fact, the telescopes used in the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) and Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) – precursor projects for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA)- would
