About supercomputing

With the help of our Supercomputing team to leverage the power of supercomputing, researchers can explore new research avenues that wouldn’t have been possible using previous methods. The team offers more than 50 years of combined, scientific-computing experience.

Their activities focus on providing supercomputer access and growing the use of supercomputing within the Australian science community. They not only run and support the Centre’s supercomputers but they actively engage researchers, communities and disciplines with supercomputing and data-intensive computing; promoting success stories via a range of channels.

The team assist new researchers to use supercomputers, then work with them to streamline and automate their workflows which incorporate supercomputing, data storage and visualisation (working with the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre Data Team and Visualisation Team).

Our supercomputing specialists embed themselves into key research groups for major projects, stimulating capability and growing supercomputing activities. They develop and deliver training for raining for high performance and accelerated computing.
