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
Each year the HPCwire Readers’ Choice Awards are determined by our readers across the HPC community, to recognize the most outstanding individuals, organizations, products, and technologies in the industry. The nomination period is over, and many great entries have been submitted – now it’s up to you to support the best and brightest make their
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
Shared workflows, virus’ lineage, statistical inferences about potential treatment outcomes, COVID-19 targets molecular modelling are some of the collaborations taking place at the two national tier-1 supercomputing facilities to fight the pandemic. In early April, Australia’s Tier 1 supercomputing facilities, Pawsey Supercomputing Centre (Pawsey) and National Computational Infrastructure (NCI), joined forces to offer additional computation
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),
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
Pawsey Supercomputing Centre and NCI Australia today launched a COVID-19 Special call for High-Performance Computing (HPC), cloud, storage resources and associated technical support for research projects directly responding to the pandemic. All research (academic, government or commercial sector) focussed on tackling the COVID-19 pandemic which requires computation and/or data resources will be considered. According to
