Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre has doubled the number of high-memory CPU nodes available on Setonix, increasing capacity from 8 to 16 nodes to better support memory-intensive research workflows. Each high-memory node features dual 2.45 GHz AMD EPYC 7763 “Milan” 64-core CPUs with 1 TB of shared memory. The latest annual Pawsey User Survey highlighted the
Researchers from UNSW Sydney and the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have developed Slorado, the first open-source software/library solution for nanopore sequencing basecalling on AMD Graphic Processing Units (GPUs). Using Setonix, Australia’s most powerful supercomputer at the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre, this development enables researchers worldwide to process nanopore sequencing data on any mainstream GPU
Perth, Western Australia – The Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre kicked off a three-day hackathon, on September 18, marking the beginning of its third Pawsey Centre for Extreme Scale Readiness (PaCER) conference week. The event was hosted in Perth and drew over 60 participants, including Australian researchers and industry speakers from around the world, both in-person
The National Computational Infrastructure, based in Canberra in Australia’s east, and the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre, based in Perth in Australia’s west, are the country’s two Tier-1 High Performance Computing (HPC) and High Performance Data (HPD) centres. With a combined computational performance well above 10 Petaflops, data stores over 100 Petabytes in size, and a user
Call for PaCER Grand Challenge problem is now open The Pawsey Supercomputing Centre has today opened a call for submissions for a new program that will provide training and support for Australia’s research community, to prepare researchers for the next era of supercomputing and help them to deliver outcomes that benefit the nation. Pawsey Centre
The Pawsey Supercomputing Centre has selected Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to deliver its new supercomputer, which will power future high-impact Australian research projects by delivering 30 times more compute power than predecessor systems Magnus and Galaxy. Pawsey’s new system will be built using the HPE Cray EX supercomputer, with expanded data storage capabilities through the
