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,
Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre has been named a Merit Recipient in the Technology Platform category at the 2025 National iAwards for its groundbreaking QBit Bridge project, advancing Australia’s position in quantum-classical computing integration. The QBit Bridge is a major step forward in hybrid workflow technology, combining GPU, CPU and quantum processing. Using Quantum Brilliance’s Virtual
The Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre today launches its interactive annual review, inviting readers to explore 25 years of computational innovation that has helped transform Australia’s scientific landscape. The digital experience charts Pawsey’s journey from its humble beginnings—when the Centre’s first computer supported just 10 researchers—to today’s national-scale infrastructure serving more than 4,000 scientists. Now home
A team led by Associate Professor Giuseppe Barca from the University of Melbourne has been awarded the 2024 Gordon Bell Prize, the highest international honour in high-performance computing, for their pioneering work enabling quantum-accurate simulations at unprecedented scale. The accolade was announced at SC24, the world’s premier supercomputing conference, held this year in Atlanta, Georgia.
Imagine a future where quantum computing is as accessible as the smartphone in your pocket. Where a quantum chip is embedded in your laptop, or thousands of quantum chips are deployed in supercomputing centres, forming the world’s most powerful quantum supercomputers. With this vision, Quantum Brilliance partnered with Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre to develop the
January 16, 2024 – Boston, Massachusetts and Perth, Australia – QuEra Computing, the global leader in neutral-atom quantum computing, and Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre today announced a partnership to drive advancements in quantum technology and enhance the capabilities of both organisations. Teams from QuEra and Pawsey are already collaborating on research projects focused on quantum
