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 call for time on Australia’s largest supercomputers opens today. The National Computational Merit Allocation Scheme (NCMAS) is the premier allocation scheme for access to Australian national supercomputing facilities for meritorious research. The NCMAS provides access, based on research and computational merit, for researchers at Australian universities and publicly funded research agencies. For the 2021
A new graphics processing unit (GPU) cluster supporting one of Australia’s Square Kilometre Array (SKA) precursor telescopes is fully operational at the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre, enabling researchers to accelerate their data processing and deliver new insights about our Universe. The $2 million cluster, procured from HPE in early 2020, is now available to researchers using
HPE has been selected by the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre in Perth to deliver a new $2 million compute cluster that will support one of the Square Kilometre Array precursor projects in Australia, the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) radio telescope. The new 78-node cluster will provide a dedicated system for astronomers to process in excess of
As part of the Pawsey Capital Refresh, the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre is boosting high-speed storage for researchers using CSIRO’s Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP)and the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) radio telescopes by providing three times as much storage and three times as much performance. Supercomputing is often associated with raw processing power, the ability
