Shared workflows, virus’ lineage, statistical inferences about potential treatment outcomes, COVID-19 targets molecular modelling are some of the collaborations taking place at the two national tier-1 supercomputing facilities to fight the pandemic. In early April, Australia’s Tier 1 supercomputing facilities, Pawsey Supercomputing Centre (Pawsey) and National Computational Infrastructure (NCI), joined forces to offer additional computation
The Pawsey Supercomputing Centre for Extreme scale Readiness (PACER) program is coming soon to advance Australian computational researchers and prepare them for the next era of supercomputing, in time for Pawsey’s new supercomputing system. In 2018 the Australian Government awarded $70 million to upgrade Pawsey’s supercomputing infrastructure, on top of the $80 million granted in 2009 to
Supercomputers in Australia joins forces to find a cure for COVID-19 Researchers using Pawsey supercomputing facilities are supporting the global effort to identify existing drugs that could be repurposed to treat COVID-19. Professor Alan Mark and his team at the University of Queensland have over the last 10 years created the Automated Topology Builder (ATB),
Following its recent collaboration announcement to develop Australia’s first quantum-supercomputing hub for innovation, the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre hosted its first online event. It was an exemplary showcase of quantum computing, with industry experts answering our questions around Why Quantum? Both industry representatives and researchers across Australia joined the event, which used to be a sundowner
February saw the Pawsey Summer Internship program come to an end with 12 students presenting posters on their research, experiences and learnings at the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre. Every year, the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre runs an intensive 10-week internship program. In November 2019, a group of students were selected to join the program to delve deeper into
Another year has come and gone at the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre. 2019 was full of collaboration, achievements, challenges and new beginnings – a testament to the Centre’s skills, capabilities and services. Pawsey is a Tier-1 supercomputing facility in Australia. Its aim – delivering cutting-edge supercomputing and data services for the benefit of society, industry and
The Pawsey Supercomputing Centre, through CSIRO, has today released on AusTender the major tender in a $70m capital refresh project. Pawsey is tendering for a new supercomputing system that will replace its existing Magnus and Galaxy supercomputers. Funded by a grant from the Australian Government, the infrastructure upgrade will allow Pawsey to keep pace with
Australian BioCommons event Bioinformatics analyses are often complex, requiring multiple software tools and specialised compute resources. “I don’t know what compute resources I will need”, “My analysis won’t run and I don’t know why” and “Just getting it to work” are common pain points for researchers. In this webinar, you will learn how to understand
Pawsey Supercomputing Centre invites you to join us for a Pawsey Hour (Ask. Me. Anything.), our way of reaching out to the research community. Pawsey Hour AMA is an opportunity to join in a discussion with Pawsey expert staff and an online community of peers. This session will focus on Merit Allocation Training. If you
