GADI & Pawsey
Australia's most powerful CPU-based research supercomputers
Description
GADI
(NCI) maintains and operates Gadi, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Australia. This system caters to the biggest, most highly parallel workloads of Australia鈥檚 largest research organisations, while simultaneously supporting the leading work of individual research groups and projects. It is tightly integrated with some of the country鈥檚 fastest filesystems, highest performance research cloud, and virtual research platforms to enable groundbreaking, high-impact research and innovation.聽
NCI is Australia鈥檚 largest research supercomputing facility, giving researchers from across the scientific spectrum the highest available performance for their compute and data-intensive workloads.
Pawsey
The Pawsey Supercomputing Centre stands as a premier high-performance computing (HPC) and data facility, ranked 45th among the world鈥檚 top 500 supercomputers (November 2024). Its primary function is to accelerate scientific research for the benefit of the nation.
Data is stored close to supercomputers, allowing seamless analysis.鈥 The adjacent, remote rendering capability allows real-time visualisation of simulations and data.
Pawsey supports students, industry personnel, researchers, academics, and scientists through training, seminars and symposia on data, visualisation, and supercomputing.
