Western Australia’s Pawsey Supercomputing Centre, in partnership with the Curtin University-based WA Data Science Innovation Hub (WADSIH), has been awarded more than $2 million in Federal and State Government funding to establish a new national space data analysis facility in Perth. The Australian Space Data Analysis Facility (ASDAF) will support researchers and small to medium
Following its recent collaboration announcement to develop Australia’s first quantum-supercomputing hub for innovation, the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre hosted its first online event. It was an exemplary showcase of quantum computing, with industry experts answering our questions around Why Quantum? Both industry representatives and researchers across Australia joined the event, which used to be a sundowner
An Australia-first commercial partnership between a supercomputing centre and quantum computing provider The Pawsey Supercomputing Centre and Quantum Brilliance will be collaborating to develop Australia’s first quantum-supercomputing hub for innovation. This collaboration is already starting to implement the recommendations from “Growing Australia’s Quantum Technology Industry”, a new roadmap from Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO. CSIRO
Researchers using Pawsey supercomputing and expertise have recently demonstrated a fast, sensitive diagnostic test for SARS-CoV-2. The new approach can reliably detect lower concentrations of the virus than most existing tests and provides more genetic information about the novel coronavirus for researchers trying to trace its development and spread and create a vaccine. The automated
NCI Australia and the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre are supporting the Australian and international research community undertaking COVID-19 research through provision of streamlined, prioritised and expedited access to computation and data resources. Both national facilities are contributing resources to support researchers in Australia in the fight against COVID-19. NCI today announces support for three targeted projects with
Expressions of interest are now being accepted for the ADACS Merit Allocation Program. EoI Deadline: Friday 17th April, 2020 @ 8pm AEDT The Merit Allocation Program The Astronomy Data and Computing Services (ADACS) Merit Allocation Program is changing considerably this semester. There are now three types of support available (note that while we continue to
The use of containers has become an attractive framework for several areas of research supported by Pawsey (including bioinformatics and machine learning, among others). Pawsey supports the usage of OpenFOAM containers. You can read more in the Pawsey documentation, The most recent supported versions of OpenFOAM. Invitation for Online Training: Training dates will be advised soon.
Pawsey Supercomputing Centre and NCI Australia today launched a COVID-19 Special call for High-Performance Computing (HPC), cloud, storage resources and associated technical support for research projects directly responding to the pandemic. All research (academic, government or commercial sector) focussed on tackling the COVID-19 pandemic which requires computation and/or data resources will be considered. According to
Opportunities to work with Kubernetes container orchestration, building on Pawsey’s existing container technology for its HPC systems, are some of the features offered by the new refreshed Nimbus cloud, available at Pawsey from April 1st. The new high-throughput computing infrastructure represents a significant improvement from the original Nimbus Cloud, in CPU, memory and storage, providing
Pawsey Executive Director, Mark Stickells, together with his leadership team want to make the community aware of the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre’s business response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The intent is to keep the Pawsey community informed and up to date with the actions that the Centre is taking on the situation that the world is
