This is a hybrid event. It is organised at the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre but is also available online. About the presenter Claudio Gheller obtained his Ph.D. in astrophysics from the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA/ISAS) in Trieste, Italy. His thesis focused on numerical cosmology. After that, he gained 12 years of experience as
Join Pawsey specialists for this introduction to containers for High Performance Computing (HPC), using examples from radio astronomy. Containers enable you to package up an application and its dependencies and encourage reproducibility, portability and shareability of computational workflows. This workshop explores: The build of containers, including using the build process to write container recipes The
Ten research projects were successfully granted access to the first Pawsey Centre for Extreme-scale Readiness (PaCER) program, establishing Australia’s research platform for extreme-scale computing. Pawsey is hosting a series of seminars throughout June showcasing the first cohort of PaCER researchers’ projects. The focus of the PaCER program is on both extreme scale research (algorithms design, code optimisation, application and workflow readiness) and using the computational infrastructure to facilitate research for producing world-class
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 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
Every year, the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre provides access to a range of supercomputing services to the Australian research community and international collaborators. We call this the Pawsey Uptake Projects, which provides researchers with access to dedicated Pawsey staff time for researchers in a collaboration to help maximize the research impact of the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre resources.
Expressions of interest are now being accepted for the ADACS Merit Allocation Program. EoI Deadline: Friday 17th April, 2020 @ 8pm AEDT The Merit Allocation Program The Astronomy Data and Computing Services (ADACS) Merit Allocation Program is changing considerably this semester. There are now three types of support available (note that while we continue to
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
