Stories about: Australian Partnership for Advanced Computing

Linux and High Performance Computing go hand in hand. So to see what Australian users have been doing with Linux and HPC, this year's linux.conf.au is holding a Birds of a Feather session on the topic. Before the session kicks off we take time to speak to the BoF coordinator Anthony David. During the working day David works for SGI as the onsite engineer for the Australian Partnership for Advanced Computing (APAC). Here, we ask him about the state of HPC in Australia and where it is heading. The following responses are his own personal beliefs and not that of his employer.

Western Australia's Interactive Virtual Environment's Centre (Ivec) has purchased a 160-processor supercomputer bringing it in line with other facilities in the Australian Partnership for Advanced Computing's (APAC) national grid.

The Australian Partnership for Advanced Computing (APAC) has announced details of its next generation supercomputer, which according to executive director John O'Callaghan, has a chance to be one of the top 30 in the world.

The Australian Partnership for Advanced Computing (APAC) is working to establish a national grid to integrate eight supercomputing facilities around the country.

Australia's premier supercomputing facility will increase its computational capacity by up to 10 times following an injection of $29 million in government funding.

Data-intensive research fields such as physics and life science will soon benefit from grid computing technology, a new method for analyzing massive amounts of data demonstrated in Australia for the first time at the recent ICCS 2003 (International Conference on Computational Science) in Melbourne.

Compaq on Tuesday unveiled new products in its AlphaServer range including the AlphaServer ES45, a mid-range UNIX server that uses a 1 GHz, 64-bit chip, and its AlphaServer SC45 supercomputer.

A three-year alliance between Compaq Computer Corp. and the Australian Partnership for Advanced Computing (APAC) will see the vendor provide its supercomputing technology to the partnership's national facility for research in all areas of science and engineering.
