Australia’s national supercomputing facilities — the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) in Canberra and the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre in Perth — record unprecedented demand for compute time in their 2026 National Computational Merit Allocation Scheme (NCMAS). NCMAS is a national meritorious grant scheme for access to high-performance computing (HPC) resources. The two Tier-1 HPC facilities
In a global first, Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre is offering a fully integrated, streamlined platform that adds quantum computing to the capacity of Australia’s most advanced research supercomputer. This free access, provided through the peer-reviewed National Computational Merit Allocation Scheme (NCMAS) and supported by the Australian Government via National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) funding,
NCI Australia and the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre are pleased to announce the outcomes of the 2023 National Computational Merit Allocation Scheme (NCMAS). The National Computational Merit Allocation Scheme is Australia’s leading scheme for allocating computing resources on the nation’s peak supercomputing systems, Gadi and Setonix. A rigorous merit-based assessment conducted by a diverse committee
Supercomputing Merit Allocation Schemes for 2023 allocation round are now open. The National Computational Merit Allocation Scheme (NCMAS) is Australia’s premiere grant scheme for access to high-performance computing (HPC) resources. The two Tier-1 HPC facilities in Australia, the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) and the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre, together offer hundreds of millions of hours
This week we celebrated National Science Week at Pawsey. 2021 Premier’s Science Awards The week started with an incredible 2021 Premier’s Science Awards gala night where Mark Stickells, our ED, joined the attendees to celebrate the finalists of the awards – 22 Western Australia’s outstanding scientists. The ceremony took place at the WA Museum Boola
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
Calls are open for supercomputing time on Magnus at the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre in 2020. If you are interested in using supercomputing resources for your meritorious research between January and December in 2020, please consider applying. The 2020 calls are for the following schemes: National Computational Merit Allocation Scheme (NCMAS) – supports computational research in all
