Did you know… That Perth will soon be home to the most powerful supercomputer in the Southern Hemisphere? That there is AMAZING science and research being done right here in Perth and up the road, in the Murchison? That teleportation is “a thing”? That you have a “personal brand” that is uniquely yours? And, that
Join Pawsey, ADSEI & Curtin University for a Masterclass in STEM in this interactive, hands-on session as we introduce you to Learn@Pawsey, an easy-to-use portal complete with Scientists’ stories, student-centric surveys, online graphs, and teacher resources, designed for students and teachers of Maths, Sciences, and Digital Technologies (years 8, 9 and above). Our first student-based survey
Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre is supporting a pioneering quantum education and research program to enable students access to one of the first educational quantum computers in Australia. Based at the University of Western Australia (UWA), the new program will enable researchers and students to upskill in the emerging area of quantum computing and engage with
Superior infrastructure In recent years, Australia’s Tier-1 High Performance Computing (HPC) centres, the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre and National Computational Infrastructure, have undergone significant infrastructure upgrades. In its second full year of operations in 2021, NCI’s supercomputer, Gadi, has been on track to do more than 800 million hours of computing for its users. With
Calls are now open for supercomputing time in 2022 through NCMAS and Pawsey Partner schemes. This will be your first opportunity to access Setonix, Pawsey’s new HPE Cray EX Supercomputer, and Acacia, the Centre’s high-speed object storage system. Most Important Changes The Pawsey Energy & Resources Merit Allocation Scheme has been discontinued. Researchers from the Australian energy and
With the support of the Australian BioCommons and ABACBS, a Bioinformatics Community of Practice (CoP) has been created. This has been launched as a result of the Bioinformatics at Scale and Australia’s Next Generation of Supercomputers event, held earlier in 2021. The CoP will give bioinformaticians using supercomputers the opportunity to share their knowledge and experiences while remaining
Twenty-three students have joined the annual Pawsey Summer Internship program, which began in December, 2020. Annually, this 10-week intensive internship program selects students to delve deeper into their scientific areas through high-performance computing. Students are supervised by project leads on their respective projects, which range from geophysical use of HPC, atomic and molecular photon collisions
An Australasian Chapter of the global organisation Women in High Performance Computing (WHPC) is aiming to better support diversity within and across the Australian and New Zealand HPC and eResearch sectors. The initiative, a collaboration between Monash University, Australasian eResearch Organisations (AeRO), NCI Australia, Pawsey Supercomputing Centre, and New Zealand eScience Infrastructure, was announced at the eResearch Australasia (eResAU) Conference 2020. “I’m thrilled
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
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
