Our first decade following in Joe Pawsey’s footsteps In our first decade, the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre has contributed to revealing the mysteries of the Universe: finding slowly spinning neutron stars, weighing galaxies to identify dark matter, finding gravitational waves, even hunting for signs of interstellar civilisations. These projects and many more are possible today
Call for Expression of Interest in Pawsey Partner Merit Allocation Committee The Pawsey Partner Merit Allocation Committee is responsible for allocating shares of the Setonix supercomputer to meritorious research projects based on a consideration of the project’s requirements, merit of the project and overall resources available.

Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre (Pawsey) and Canadian quantum computing company Xanadu have signed a memorandum of understanding to work together and test the capabilities of integrating high-performance computing (HPC) and quantum computing technologies. The teams will leverage their existing hardware and algorithms expertise to improve the integration between Pawsey’s HPC and Xanadu’s quantum computing hardware
The Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre, in collaboration with QUECWA , UWA’s QUISA and UP-QCC, and Quantum Girls, hosted an open day on April 14 to celebrate World Quantum Day. The event saw an impressive turnout, with over 140 participants from as young as six years old. All came together to experience a quantum ‘taster’, sharing
The Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre hosted and celebrated an amazing International Women’s Day in March 2023. The event was aimed at showcasing the careers in science, research, and technology to over 100 students and educators. The Pawsey team, along with volunteers and interns, presented various career STEM to women, girls and gender diverse attendees, highlighting
A state-of-the-art regional climate modelling project will deliver more detailed and reliable projections for local areas across Western Australia, which will be used to inform planning for infrastructure and climate-sensitive sectors such as agriculture and conservation. “Global climate models help us to simulate very large-scale weather patterns across the globe, but they are not suitable
