Masterclass
The Pawsey Supercomputing Centre is an unincorporated joint venture between CSIRO, Curtin University, Edith Cowan University, Murdoch University and The University of Western Australia. It is supported by the Western Australian and Federal Governments.
The Centre is one of two, Tier-1, High Performance Computing facilities in Australia, whose primary function is to accelerate scientific research for the benefit of the nation.
The service and expertise of the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre in supercomputing, data, cloud services and visualisation, enables research across a spread of domains including astronomy, life sciences, medicine, energy, resources and artificial intelligence.
Data is stored close to supercomputers, allowing seamless analysis. The adjacent, remote rendering capability allows real-time visualisation of simulations and data.
