The call for time on Australia’s largest supercomputers opens today. The National Computational Merit Allocation Scheme (NCMAS) is the premier allocation scheme for access to Australian national supercomputing facilities for meritorious research. The NCMAS provides access, based on research and computational merit, for researchers at Australian universities and publicly funded research agencies. For the 2021
The White House Office of Science and Technology has today announced that NCI Australia and the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre have joined the US-led COVID-19 High-Performance Computing (HPC) Consortium. Joining the esteemed group as a Collaborating Initiative, known as the ’Australian HPC COVID-19 Rapid Response (NCI Australia and Pawsey Supercomputing Centre)’, the Australian research facilities join
The Pawsey Supercomputing Centre for Extreme scale Readiness (PACER) program is coming soon to advance Australian computational researchers and prepare them for the next era of supercomputing, in time for Pawsey’s new supercomputing system. In 2018 the Australian Government awarded $70 million to upgrade Pawsey’s supercomputing infrastructure, on top of the $80 million granted in 2009 to
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
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
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
HPE has been selected by the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre in Perth to deliver a new $2 million compute cluster that will support one of the Square Kilometre Array precursor projects in Australia, the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) radio telescope. The new 78-node cluster will provide a dedicated system for astronomers to process in excess of
