The Pawsey Supercomputing Centre recently returned from SC18 – the largest and prestigious international supercomputing conference for all things High-Performance Computing (HPC). Hosted in Dallas, Texas, the exhibition floor at SC featured more than 350 exhibitors in the industry and research communities, from over 100 countries. Australian HPC was represented by a joint booth from NCI
During the 2018 Pawsey Open Day, the Centre ran a Design your own Supercomputer competition, for young inventors. They had three key criteria to complete – the name of their supercomputer, what type of science the computer will embark on and how the supercomputer’s work will change the world. This competition has been designed to
The Pawsey Supercomputing Centre spent a week in Melbourne for eResearch Australasia 2018, which saw a record-breaking 392 delegates, 104 exhibitors and 252 workshop attendees. The conference is an opportunity for delegates to engage, connect and share their ideas and exemplars concerning new information centric research capabilities, and how information and communication technologies help researchers to
We don’t know the answer, but we have done it at Pawsey! On the 28th September, Pawsey Supercomputing Centre hosted its bi-monthly “Pawsey Friday”, a regular community event uniting researchers and technical staff. The event hosted over twenty attendees from multiple research institutions and universities such as CSIRO, the University of Western Australia and Edith
Great Students – World Class Infrastructure – Challenging Projects The Pawsey Supercomputing Centre is searching for students ready to challenge themselves through our research internship program.
