Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre
Contact: training@pawsey.org.au
The Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre is 1 of 2 Tier 1 supercomputing centres in Australia.
Pawsey prides itself on incorporating a range of best practices, features and solutions. Key features of the Centre include:
- A purpose-built supercomputing building of more than 1000 m2 at Technology Park in Kensington, Western Australia; complete with scalable cooling and electrical services, to accommodate for expanding supercomputing infrastructure within the facility.
- A unique groundwater cooling system for removing heat from the supercomputer and dissipating this heat via an aquifer, 140 metres below the Centre, with no loss of groundwater. A photovoltaic system which has been incorporated into the building’s shaded façade, plus an extensive PV array on the roof of the building. This installation generates 140 kW of electricity onsite, which acts to offset the electrical and CO2 footprint of the Supercomputing Centre.
- Automated ‘intelligence’ incorporated into the building, with real-time monitoring, to facilitate efficient operation and support fine tuning of operations to reduce overall power costs
