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
Supercomputers in Australia joins forces to find a cure for COVID-19 Researchers using Pawsey supercomputing facilities are supporting the global effort to identify existing drugs that could be repurposed to treat COVID-19. Professor Alan Mark and his team at the University of Queensland have over the last 10 years created the Automated Topology Builder (ATB),
Every year, the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre provides access to a range of supercomputing services to the Australian research community and international collaborators. We call this the Pawsey Uptake Projects, which provides researchers with access to dedicated Pawsey staff time for researchers in a collaboration to help maximize the research impact of the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre resources.
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.
