Their project aims to develop the next generation of highly efficient gas turbines, and gas turbines capable of burning renewable hydrogen fuel, a detailed understanding of flow and combustion physics and accurate and reliable predictive tools are required. Focusing on i) upscale our in-house codes for Pawsey’s next-generation of supercomputers and beyond and ii) demonstrate the combination of these capabilities in unprecedented high-fidelity simulations of several main components of gas turbines at engine-relevant conditions, UNSW and University of Melbourne researchers are teaming up with the major gas-turbine manufacturer GE to enable the development of systems with improved fuel economy, lower emissions, and capabilities to burn renewable hydrogen. The produced data will shed light on important phenomena and will be used to improve predictive tools used in industry. MaPMoPS Massively Parallel Models of Particle Suspensions Christopher Leonardi – University of Queensland Dr Christopher Leonardi’s PaCER project will develop computational models of complex particle suspensions at previously intractable scales for the investigation of novel reservoir stimulation techniques. This work will rearchitect the team’s open-source computational fluid dynamics code, TCLB, so that it can best leverage the next-generation supercomputer systems. It is currently difficult or impossible to observe the impact of these approaches, positive or negative, in experimental investigations. High-fidelity computations at physically meaningful length scales, such as those proposed in this project, represent a paradigm shift in the way that subsurface operations are designed and tested, and have the potential to significantly improve the management of subsurface resources. The outcomes of this project align with the Australian Government’s vision for a “gas-fired recovery” from the COVID-19 recession. The development of sophisticated predictive models for technical subsurface challenges, championed by reports from the Chief Scientist and Engineer of NSW, the US Department of Energy, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, among others. About the presenters Prof Richard Sandberg is Chair of Computational Mechanics in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Melbourne. His main interest is in high-fidelity simulation of turbulent flows and the associated noise generation in order to gain physical understanding of flow and noise mechanisms. He also uses the data to help assess and improve low-order models that can be employed in an industrial context, in particular by pursuing novel machine-learning approaches. He received his PhD in 2004 in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Arizona and prior to joining the University of Melbourne, he was a Professor of Fluid Dynamics and Aeroacoustics in the Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics research group at the University of Southampton and headed the UK Turbulence Consortium (www.turbulence.ac.uk), coordinating the work packages for compressible flows and flow visualisations and databases. He was awarded a veski innovation fellowship in July 2015 entitled: “Impacting Industry by enabling a step-change in simulation fidelity for flow and noise problems” and has been granted an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship for 2020-2023. Prof Evatt Hawkes is a Professor at the University of New South Wales, Sydney (UNSW). His group applies high fidelity computational fluid dynamics models to turbulent, reacting flows that underpin the performance of combustion and solar energy systems. His work at the nexus of big data and engineering applications is usually carried out with the aid of largescale supercomputing resources with a view to making fundamental and practical advances in problems of industrial relevance in transportation, power generation, and other energy systems. Prior to joining UNSW in 2007, Evatt graduated from the University of Cambridge with a PhD in 2001 and subsequently worked as a post-doc at the Combustion Research Facility of Sandia National Laboratories. He serves as Associate Editor of Proceedings of the Combustion Institute, as Advisory Editor of Flow, Turbulence and Combustion, and regularly serves as co-chair for the Turbulent Flames colloquium at the International Symposia on Combustion. Hawkes’ contributions and leadership in turbulent combustion modelling have been recognised most notably by the award of an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship in 2011, and in 2018 by his election as one of the inaugural class of Fellows of the Combustion Institute. Dr Christopher Leonardi is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Mechanical and Mining Engineering at the University of Queensland and an Advance Queensland Industry Research Fellow (Mid-Career). Christopher holds a B.Eng. in Mechanical Engineering with Class Honours from James Cook University, a PhD in Civil and Computational Engineering from Swansea University, UK, and a Research Affiliate appointment in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA. Leonardi’s research is currently targeted at the development of large-scale numerical models which can be used to provide insight into the complex characteristics of fluid-solid interaction in oil and gas reservoirs. Much of this work is undertaken in close collaboration with industry via the UQ Centre for Natural Gas. Particular fields of expertise include the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for fluid flows, the discrete element method (DEM) for discontinuous systems, and the finite element method (FEM) for solid mechanics problems. In addition to his academic pursuits, Christopher has over five years of consulting experience, applying both computational and analytical techniques to solve problems in the mining and mechanical engineering disciplines. In that time he applied innovative FEM-DEM technology to industry problems in the areas of bulk materials handling, geomechanics, and structural mechanics.

PaCER Seminar: Particle and molecular physics
22 June 2021
PaCER Seminar: Particle and molecular physics https://pawsey.org.au/event/pacer-seminar-particle-physics/ https://staging.dresa.org.au/events/pacer-seminar-particle-and-molecular-physics Ten research projects were successfully granted access to the first Pawsey Centre for Extreme-scale Readiness (PaCER) program, establishing Australia’s research platform for extreme-scale computing. Pawsey is hosting a series of seminars throughout June showcasing the first cohort of PaCER researchers’ projects. During its third week, the series is focusing on particle and molecular physics and is featuring Prof Pat Scott from the University of Queensland, Dr Waseem Kamleh from the University of Adelaide, and Curtin University, Professor Igor Bray. The focus of the PaCER program is on both extreme scale research (algorithms design, code optimisation, application and workflow readiness) and using the computational infrastructure to facilitate research for producing world-class scientific outcomes. The program is a partnership for collaboration between researchers and Pawsey Supercomputing Centre supercomputing specialists using the latest infrastructure provided by Setonix. Join us each Tuesday in June to find out about their projects and their research impacts across Australia and the world. Register to join the online seminar here. About the projects EXA-GAMBIT Searching for New Particles from the Attoscale to the Exascale with GAMBIT Pat Scott Collaborators from the University of Queensland/ Monash University and The University of Adelaide The broad objective of this project is to perform the world’s largest and most complete tests of theories for new particles and fundamental symmetries, by using astrophysics, cosmology and particle physics to attempt to detect new particles associated with physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. The Standard Model of particle physics is both the most fundamental and the most precisely validated theory in all of science– yet it is still incomplete. New particles are needed to explain the identity of dark matter and dark energy, why neutrinos have mass, why the Higgs boson is as light as it is, and why we are surrounded by so much more matter than antimatter. This project will make it possible to combine the results of all relevant experiments and bring them to bear on all the leading theories for new particles, by using exascale computing hardware to simulate billions of possible experimental signatures simultaneously. MCCC Calculation of collisions with molecular targets using the convergent close-coupling method Igor Bray Curtin University Bray’s project, Calculation of collisions with molecular targets using the convergent close-coupling method, will produce high-quality and comprehensive data describing the collisions of electrons and positrons with molecules, which are much needed in a range of applications. The next big step forward in the field of molecular collisions is the adaptation and optimisation of the MCCC codes to exploit the capabilities of the next-generation supercomputers, with a particular emphasis on accelerating the calculations using GPUs. These developments will allow the first-ever large-scale collision calculations to be performed for molecules more complex than H2, and the resulting data sets will drastically improve plasma models in a wide range of scientific and industrial applications. The GPU (Graphics Processing Units) implementation of the MCCC codes and optimisation for the next-generation supercomputer at Pawsey will allow, for the first time, for computationally-intensive calculations to be performed for the heavier hydride molecules. The comprehensive sets of collision data this will produce will represent another major step forward in the field of plasma science and the development of ITER, on par with the original development of the MCCC codes for H2. EmPRiSM Emergent Phenomena Revealed in Subatomic Matter Waseem Kamleh University of Adelaide The central goal of this proposal is to reveal emergent phenomena in subatomic matter through the development of novel algorithms that harness extreme-scale computing. Lattice quantum chromodynamics (Lattice QCD) is the fundamental theory that enables us to compute the properties of interacting matter. Advances in computing created by this project will unlock unachievable calculations of quantum fluctuations in the space-time vacuum. This research will develop computational techniques that transform our understanding of the nuclear matter that constitutes the observable world, from the atomic scale of elemental hydrogen to the cosmic scale of neutron stars. Exploring vacuum contributions to the structure of the proton and other strongly interacting particles, the research will advance theoretical understanding and challenge experimental programs. About the presenters Pat Scott is a particle and astroparticle phenomenologist. Pat works with particle theory and experiment, cosmology, solar and stellar physics, high energy astrophysics, statistics, computational physics, supercomputing and other things – usually two or three at a time. Pat is part of the GAMBIT Community, a group of other like-minded researchers from all over the HEP-astro diaspora, trying to put together all the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle that is the search for physics Beyond the Standard Model (of particle physics). A big part of that is dark matter, but really, they’ll take any new particles they can get. Pat was the Head of GAMBIT from its founding in 2012 to the end of 2020. Before joining UQ in 2019, Pat was an STFC Ernest Rutherford Fellow and Senior Lecturer in the Fundamental Physics Section at Imperial College, a Banting Fellow in the HEP Theory group at McGill University, a PhD student in the Cosmology, Astroparticle Physics and String Theory Group at the Oskar Klein Centre in Stockholm, and an Honours student at the Mt Stromlo Observatory at ANU in Canberra. Igor Bray is a John Curtin Distinguished Professor, and Head of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Curtin University. His research interests are in the field of Quantum Collision Theory, where he has over 500 publications with around 13,500 citations. He has received several national awards for his research and is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science, American Physical Society, and Institutes of Physics in the UK and Australia. In addition to his research, he is interested in education issues broadly, and in particular High-Performance Computing. Waseem Kamleh is a world-leading expert in computational physics, with a focus on the application of advanced algorithms and technologies to non-perturbative simulations. His PhD was awarded in 2004 from the University of Adelaide. He moved to Ireland to take up a prestigious post-doctoral position at Trinity College Dublin, returning to the University of Adelaide in 2007 where he is currently a research fellow within the Centre for the Subatomic Structure of Matter.

PaCER Seminar: Radio astronomy
29 June 2021
PaCER Seminar: Radio astronomy https://pawsey.org.au/event/pacer-seminar-radio-astronomy/ https://staging.dresa.org.au/events/pacer-seminar-radio-astronomy Ten research projects were successfully granted access to the first Pawsey Centre for Extreme-scale Readiness (PaCER) program, establishing Australia’s research platform for extreme-scale computing. Pawsey is hosting a series of seminars throughout June showcasing the first cohort of PaCER researchers’ projects. The last event in the series focuses on Radio Astronomy and showcases Melanie Johnston-Hollitt from Curtin University and Martin Meyer and Marcin Sokolowski from the ICRAR UWA and Curtin node respectively. The focus of the PaCER program is on both extreme scale research (algorithms design, code optimisation, application and workflow readiness) and using the computational infrastructure to facilitate research for producing world-class scientific outcomes. The program is a partnership for collaboration between researchers and Pawsey Supercomputing Centre supercomputing specialists using the latest infrastructure provided by Setonix. Join us each Tuesday in June to find out about their projects and their research impacts across Australia and the world. Register to join the online seminar here. About the projects PIGI Parallel Interferometric GPU Imaging Melanie Johnston-Hollitt – Curtin University Collaborators: Curtin University/ University of Toronto/ Pawsey Supercomputing Centre Johnston-Hollitt’s project, Parallel interferometric GPU imaging, aims to combine the distributed nature of recent interferometric reconstruction algorithms with fast instrumental modelling using GPUs to accurately reconstruct images from extremely large data sets for future instruments such as SKA_Low To provide the first end-to-end exascale astronomy calibration and imaging pipeline which has been optimized for HPC, the team will scale up calibration pipelines and deploy them in a multi-node GPU scenario combined with modern imaging algorithms scaled and deployed on HPC. HiVIS – HI Visibility Imaging for the SKA Delivery of a next-generation data storage approach to unlock deep SKA and pathfinder observations Martin Meyer – ICRAR UWA Collaborators: ICRAR / CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science / SKA Organisation Headquarters (SKAO)/ Oak Ridge National Laboratory Meyer’s project addresses one of the most significant outstanding Grand Challenge Problems for the SKA Observatory – how to optimally image multi-day deep datasets. By developing a sparse data storage and processing pipeline based on UV-grids, this project aims to reduce the visibility storage requirements for these projects by an order of magnitude. The developed methods will simultaneously enable critically needed reprocessing to optimise the scientific outcomes from these datasets and opens up the possibility for higher resolution spatial and spectral imaging than would otherwise be possible As a testbed, Pawsey will be used to image 250h of ASKAP (Australia Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder) data from the DINGO pilot surveys, along with 500h of its first ultradeep field. These will yield some of the deepest images ever taken of atomic hydrogen content in the Universe, enabling ground-breaking novel studies of the role this fundamental fuel has played in the ongoing evolution of galaxies and its connection to their dark matter halos. In addition, the results will demonstrate a solution for the SKA data challenges in deep imaging. BLINK (Breakthrough Low-latency Imaging with Next-generation Kernels) BLINK and you’ll miss it: blazingly-fast all-sky radio astronomy pipelines Marcin Sokolowski – ICRAR Curtin University This project aims to bring Pawsey’s latest-generation hardware to make real-time, image-based transient searches feasible, applied to the Murchison Widefield Array, the foremost precursor telescope for the low-frequency component of the Square Kilometer Array. Making real-time, image-based transient searches feasible will require a combination of the latest data processing technology offered by modern supercomputers, and novel data processing algorithms that have been optimised for both speed and sensitivity to transient signals. If the computational challenges in this area are overcome, the untapped potential to form widefield images with millisecond time and kilohertz frequency resolutions coming from instruments such as the recently-upgraded Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) and the upcoming low-frequency Square Kilometre Array (SKA-Low) will transform these telescopes into extremely powerful instruments capable of detecting Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), other fast transients like “rotating radio transients” (RRATs), i.e. sporadically emitting neutron stars and possibly other phenomena in real-time. About the researchers Melanie Johnston-Hollitt is an internationally prominent radio astronomer working in the space between astrophysics, computer science, and big data. She is Director of the Curtin Institute for Computation (CIC), a knowledge accelerator based on the use of data science and high-performance computing aimed at producing better outcomes for research, government, and industry. In her 20-year career, Melanie has been involved in the design, construction, operation, and governance of several major international radio telescopes including the Low Frequency Array in the Netherlands, the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) in Western Australia, and the billion-dollar Square Kilometre Array (SKA) which will be hosted in both Australia and South Africa. She was a founding member of the Board of Directors for the SKA Organisation where she worked on the international governance, scientific, and technical aspects of the telescope. In particular, she led the Science Analysis Pipeline design and contributed to the Science Data Processor pipeline which will be needed to extract knowledge from the vast amounts of data the SKA telescope will generate. She is the immediate past director of the 65 million-dollar MWA radio telescope and spent 9 years involved in the project, including 6 years on the international executive board (4 years as board chair) and 3 as director. As MWA Director she oversaw the third phase of the MWA project realised via the design and funding for the new ‘MWAX correlator’ – a GPU-based bespoke compute system. Her research interests span the intersection between radio astronomy, signal and image processing, and big data analytics and she leads both the multi-disciplinary team of data scientists in the CIC and the galactic and extragalactic science team in the Curtin Institute for Radio Astronomy who are exploiting the MWA and other telescopes to uncover the mysteries of the Universe. Martin Meyer’s research focuses on surveys for neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) and the role played by hydrogen gas in the formation and evolution of galaxies. Matin leads the DINGO survey, a project that will take deep HI observations with the Australian SKA Pathfinder to understand how the HI content of the Universe has evolved over the past 4 billion years. In the lead-up to this project, He is working on CHILES, a deep HI survey being carried out with the VLA, as well as wide-field HI stacking experiments in the GAMA G09 field also being observed with this facility. Martin is a member of the SKA HI galaxy science working group. Marcin Sokolowski is a Research Fellow at Curtin Institute of Radio Astronomy (CIRA), Australia. Marcin received Master Degree in Physics from the University of Warsaw, Poland in 1998and a Ph.D. degree in Physics from the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) in Warsaw, Poland in 2008. Between 1998 and 2003 he worked as a software programmer in a software company. From 2008 until 2012 he was an Assistant Professor in NCBJ where we worked on software for the automation of wide-field robotic telescopes and algorithms for the identification of optical transients of astrophysical origin. In the last few years, he has been looking for Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) and other transients at low radio-frequencies using the wide-field images from the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) and all-sky images from prototype stations of the low-frequency Square Kilometre Array (SKA-Low). He works in a large international team of engineers and scientists on verification, commissioning and developing novel calibration methods for prototype stations of the SKA-Low to be built in Western Australia in the coming years.

PaCER Seminar: Computational Fluid Dynamics
15 June 2021
PaCER Seminar: Computational Fluid Dynamics https://pawsey.org.au/event/pacer-seminar-computational-fluid-dynamics/ https://staging.dresa.org.au/events/pacer-seminar-computational-fluid-dynamics Ten research projects were successfully granted access to the first Pawsey Centre for Extreme-scale Readiness (PaCER) program, establishing Australia’s research platform for extreme-scale computing. Pawsey is hosting a series of seminars throughout June showcasing the first cohort of PaCER researchers’ projects. The second event of the series is focusing on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and features Prof Richard Sandberg and Evatt Hawkes, from the University of Melbourne and University of New South Wales, respectively and Dr Christopher Leonardi from the University of Queensland. The focus of the PaCER program is on both extreme scale research (algorithms design, code optimisation, application and workflow readiness) and using the computational infrastructure to facilitate research for producing world-class scientific outcomes. The program is a partnership for collaboration between researchers and Pawsey Supercomputing Centre supercomputing specialists using the latest infrastructure provided by Setonix. Join us on Tuesdays of June to find out what their projects are about and the impact that could potentially have in the different research fields in Australia and around the world. Register to join the online seminar here. About the projects GT-to-X-Gas Turbine simulations towards Exascale (GTx) Towards exascale simulations for efficient, low-emissions gas turbines Richard Sandberg – University Melbourne and Evatt Hawkes – University of New South Wales Collaborators: The University of Melbourne/ University of New South Wales / General Electric (GE) ARC Future Fellows, Prof Richard Sandberg and Prof Evatt Hawkes are joining efforts to work ‘Towards exascale simulations for efficient, low-emission gas turbines’. Their project aims to develop the next generation of highly efficient gas turbines, and gas turbines capable of burning renewable hydrogen fuel, a detailed understanding of flow and combustion physics and accurate and reliable predictive tools are required. Focusing on i) upscale our in-house codes for Pawsey’s next-generation of supercomputers and beyond and ii) demonstrate the combination of these capabilities in unprecedented high-fidelity simulations of several main components of gas turbines at engine-relevant conditions, UNSW and University of Melbourne researchers are teaming up with the major gas-turbine manufacturer GE to enable the development of systems with improved fuel economy, lower emissions, and capabilities to burn renewable hydrogen. The produced data will shed light on important phenomena and will be used to improve predictive tools used in industry. MaPMoPS Massively Parallel Models of Particle Suspensions Christopher Leonardi – University of Queensland Dr Christopher Leonardi’s PaCER project will develop computational models of complex particle suspensions at previously intractable scales for the investigation of novel reservoir stimulation techniques. This work will rearchitect the team’s open-source computational fluid dynamics code, TCLB, so that it can best leverage the next-generation supercomputer systems. It is currently difficult or impossible to observe the impact of these approaches, positive or negative, in experimental investigations. High-fidelity computations at physically meaningful length scales, such as those proposed in this project, represent a paradigm shift in the way that subsurface operations are designed and tested, and have the potential to significantly improve the management of subsurface resources. The outcomes of this project align with the Australian Government’s vision for a “gas-fired recovery” from the COVID-19 recession. The development of sophisticated predictive models for technical subsurface challenges, championed by reports from the Chief Scientist and Engineer of NSW, the US Department of Energy, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, among others. About the presenters Prof Richard Sandberg is Chair of Computational Mechanics in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Melbourne. His main interest is in high-fidelity simulation of turbulent flows and the associated noise generation in order to gain physical understanding of flow and noise mechanisms. He also uses the data to help assess and improve low-order models that can be employed in an industrial context, in particular by pursuing novel machine-learning approaches. He received his PhD in 2004 in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Arizona and prior to joining the University of Melbourne, he was a Professor of Fluid Dynamics and Aeroacoustics in the Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics research group at the University of Southampton and headed the UK Turbulence Consortium (www.turbulence.ac.uk), coordinating the work packages for compressible flows and flow visualisations and databases. He was awarded a veski innovation fellowship in July 2015 entitled: “Impacting Industry by enabling a step-change in simulation fidelity for flow and noise problems” and has been granted an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship for 2020-2023. Prof Evatt Hawkes is a Professor at the University of New South Wales, Sydney (UNSW). His group applies high fidelity computational fluid dynamics models to turbulent, reacting flows that underpin the performance of combustion and solar energy systems. His work at the nexus of big data and engineering applications is usually carried out with the aid of largescale supercomputing resources with a view to making fundamental and practical advances in problems of industrial relevance in transportation, power generation, and other energy systems. Prior to joining UNSW in 2007, Evatt graduated from the University of Cambridge with a PhD in 2001 and subsequently worked as a post-doc at the Combustion Research Facility of Sandia National Laboratories. He serves as Associate Editor of Proceedings of the Combustion Institute, as Advisory Editor of Flow, Turbulence and Combustion, and regularly serves as co-chair for the Turbulent Flames colloquium at the International Symposia on Combustion. Hawkes’ contributions and leadership in turbulent combustion modelling have been recognised most notably by the award of an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship in 2011, and in 2018 by his election as one of the inaugural class of Fellows of the Combustion Institute. Dr Christopher Leonardi is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Mechanical and Mining Engineering at the University of Queensland and an Advance Queensland Industry Research Fellow (Mid-Career). Christopher holds a B.Eng. in Mechanical Engineering with Class Honours from James Cook University, a PhD in Civil and Computational Engineering from Swansea University, UK, and a Research Affiliate appointment in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA. Leonardi’s research is currently targeted at the development of large-scale numerical models which can be used to provide insight into the complex characteristics of fluid-solid interaction in oil and gas reservoirs. Much of this work is undertaken in close collaboration with industry via the UQ Centre for Natural Gas. Particular fields of expertise include the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for fluid flows, the discrete element method (DEM) for discontinuous systems, and the finite element method (FEM) for solid mechanics problems. In addition to his academic pursuits, Christopher has over five years of consulting experience, applying both computational and analytical techniques to solve problems in the mining and mechanical engineering disciplines. In that time he applied innovative FEM-DEM technology to industry problems in the areas of bulk materials handling, geomechanics, and structural mechanics.

PaCER Seminar: Particle and molecular physics
22 June 2021
PaCER Seminar: Particle and molecular physics https://pawsey.org.au/event/pacer-seminar-particle-physics/ https://staging.dresa.org.au/events/pacer-seminar-particle-and-molecular-physics Ten research projects were successfully granted access to the first Pawsey Centre for Extreme-scale Readiness (PaCER) program, establishing Australia’s research platform for extreme-scale computing. Pawsey is hosting a series of seminars throughout June showcasing the first cohort of PaCER researchers’ projects. During its third week, the series is focusing on particle and molecular physics and is featuring Prof Pat Scott from the University of Queensland, Dr Waseem Kamleh from the University of Adelaide, and Curtin University, Professor Igor Bray. The focus of the PaCER program is on both extreme scale research (algorithms design, code optimisation, application and workflow readiness) and using the computational infrastructure to facilitate research for producing world-class scientific outcomes. The program is a partnership for collaboration between researchers and Pawsey Supercomputing Centre supercomputing specialists using the latest infrastructure provided by Setonix. Join us each Tuesday in June to find out about their projects and their research impacts across Australia and the world. Register to join the online seminar here. About the projects EXA-GAMBIT Searching for New Particles from the Attoscale to the Exascale with GAMBIT Pat Scott Collaborators from the University of Queensland/ Monash University and The University of Adelaide The broad objective of this project is to perform the world’s largest and most complete tests of theories for new particles and fundamental symmetries, by using astrophysics, cosmology and particle physics to attempt to detect new particles associated with physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. The Standard Model of particle physics is both the most fundamental and the most precisely validated theory in all of science– yet it is still incomplete. New particles are needed to explain the identity of dark matter and dark energy, why neutrinos have mass, why the Higgs boson is as light as it is, and why we are surrounded by so much more matter than antimatter. This project will make it possible to combine the results of all relevant experiments and bring them to bear on all the leading theories for new particles, by using exascale computing hardware to simulate billions of possible experimental signatures simultaneously. MCCC Calculation of collisions with molecular targets using the convergent close-coupling method Igor Bray Curtin University Bray’s project, Calculation of collisions with molecular targets using the convergent close-coupling method, will produce high-quality and comprehensive data describing the collisions of electrons and positrons with molecules, which are much needed in a range of applications. The next big step forward in the field of molecular collisions is the adaptation and optimisation of the MCCC codes to exploit the capabilities of the next-generation supercomputers, with a particular emphasis on accelerating the calculations using GPUs. These developments will allow the first-ever large-scale collision calculations to be performed for molecules more complex than H2, and the resulting data sets will drastically improve plasma models in a wide range of scientific and industrial applications. The GPU (Graphics Processing Units) implementation of the MCCC codes and optimisation for the next-generation supercomputer at Pawsey will allow, for the first time, for computationally-intensive calculations to be performed for the heavier hydride molecules. The comprehensive sets of collision data this will produce will represent another major step forward in the field of plasma science and the development of ITER, on par with the original development of the MCCC codes for H2. EmPRiSM Emergent Phenomena Revealed in Subatomic Matter Waseem Kamleh University of Adelaide The central goal of this proposal is to reveal emergent phenomena in subatomic matter through the development of novel algorithms that harness extreme-scale computing. Lattice quantum chromodynamics (Lattice QCD) is the fundamental theory that enables us to compute the properties of interacting matter. Advances in computing created by this project will unlock unachievable calculations of quantum fluctuations in the space-time vacuum. This research will develop computational techniques that transform our understanding of the nuclear matter that constitutes the observable world, from the atomic scale of elemental hydrogen to the cosmic scale of neutron stars. Exploring vacuum contributions to the structure of the proton and other strongly interacting particles, the research will advance theoretical understanding and challenge experimental programs. About the presenters Pat Scott is a particle and astroparticle phenomenologist. Pat works with particle theory and experiment, cosmology, solar and stellar physics, high energy astrophysics, statistics, computational physics, supercomputing and other things – usually two or three at a time. Pat is part of the GAMBIT Community, a group of other like-minded researchers from all over the HEP-astro diaspora, trying to put together all the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle that is the search for physics Beyond the Standard Model (of particle physics). A big part of that is dark matter, but really, they’ll take any new particles they can get. Pat was the Head of GAMBIT from its founding in 2012 to the end of 2020. Before joining UQ in 2019, Pat was an STFC Ernest Rutherford Fellow and Senior Lecturer in the Fundamental Physics Section at Imperial College, a Banting Fellow in the HEP Theory group at McGill University, a PhD student in the Cosmology, Astroparticle Physics and String Theory Group at the Oskar Klein Centre in Stockholm, and an Honours student at the Mt Stromlo Observatory at ANU in Canberra. Igor Bray is a John Curtin Distinguished Professor, and Head of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Curtin University. His research interests are in the field of Quantum Collision Theory, where he has over 500 publications with around 13,500 citations. He has received several national awards for his research and is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science, American Physical Society, and Institutes of Physics in the UK and Australia. In addition to his research, he is interested in education issues broadly, and in particular High-Performance Computing. Waseem Kamleh is a world-leading expert in computational physics, with a focus on the application of advanced algorithms and technologies to non-perturbative simulations. His PhD was awarded in 2004 from the University of Adelaide. He moved to Ireland to take up a prestigious post-doctoral position at Trinity College Dublin, returning to the University of Adelaide in 2007 where he is currently a research fellow within the Centre for the Subatomic Structure of Matter.

PaCER Seminar: Radio astronomy
29 June 2021
PaCER Seminar: Radio astronomy https://pawsey.org.au/event/pacer-seminar-radio-astronomy/ https://staging.dresa.org.au/events/pacer-seminar-radio-astronomy Ten research projects were successfully granted access to the first Pawsey Centre for Extreme-scale Readiness (PaCER) program, establishing Australia’s research platform for extreme-scale computing. Pawsey is hosting a series of seminars throughout June showcasing the first cohort of PaCER researchers’ projects. The last event in the series focuses on Radio Astronomy and showcases Melanie Johnston-Hollitt from Curtin University and Martin Meyer and Marcin Sokolowski from the ICRAR UWA and Curtin node respectively. The focus of the PaCER program is on both extreme scale research (algorithms design, code optimisation, application and workflow readiness) and using the computational infrastructure to facilitate research for producing world-class scientific outcomes. The program is a partnership for collaboration between researchers and Pawsey Supercomputing Centre supercomputing specialists using the latest infrastructure provided by Setonix. Join us each Tuesday in June to find out about their projects and their research impacts across Australia and the world. Register to join the online seminar here. About the projects PIGI Parallel Interferometric GPU Imaging Melanie Johnston-Hollitt – Curtin University Collaborators: Curtin University/ University of Toronto/ Pawsey Supercomputing Centre Johnston-Hollitt’s project, Parallel interferometric GPU imaging, aims to combine the distributed nature of recent interferometric reconstruction algorithms with fast instrumental modelling using GPUs to accurately reconstruct images from extremely large data sets for future instruments such as SKA_Low To provide the first end-to-end exascale astronomy calibration and imaging pipeline which has been optimized for HPC, the team will scale up calibration pipelines and deploy them in a multi-node GPU scenario combined with modern imaging algorithms scaled and deployed on HPC. HiVIS – HI Visibility Imaging for the SKA Delivery of a next-generation data storage approach to unlock deep SKA and pathfinder observations Martin Meyer – ICRAR UWA Collaborators: ICRAR / CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science / SKA Organisation Headquarters (SKAO)/ Oak Ridge National Laboratory Meyer’s project addresses one of the most significant outstanding Grand Challenge Problems for the SKA Observatory – how to optimally image multi-day deep datasets. By developing a sparse data storage and processing pipeline based on UV-grids, this project aims to reduce the visibility storage requirements for these projects by an order of magnitude. The developed methods will simultaneously enable critically needed reprocessing to optimise the scientific outcomes from these datasets and opens up the possibility for higher resolution spatial and spectral imaging than would otherwise be possible As a testbed, Pawsey will be used to image 250h of ASKAP (Australia Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder) data from the DINGO pilot surveys, along with 500h of its first ultradeep field. These will yield some of the deepest images ever taken of atomic hydrogen content in the Universe, enabling ground-breaking novel studies of the role this fundamental fuel has played in the ongoing evolution of galaxies and its connection to their dark matter halos. In addition, the results will demonstrate a solution for the SKA data challenges in deep imaging. BLINK (Breakthrough Low-latency Imaging with Next-generation Kernels) BLINK and you’ll miss it: blazingly-fast all-sky radio astronomy pipelines Marcin Sokolowski – ICRAR Curtin University This project aims to bring Pawsey’s latest-generation hardware to make real-time, image-based transient searches feasible, applied to the Murchison Widefield Array, the foremost precursor telescope for the low-frequency component of the Square Kilometer Array. Making real-time, image-based transient searches feasible will require a combination of the latest data processing technology offered by modern supercomputers, and novel data processing algorithms that have been optimised for both speed and sensitivity to transient signals. If the computational challenges in this area are overcome, the untapped potential to form widefield images with millisecond time and kilohertz frequency resolutions coming from instruments such as the recently-upgraded Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) and the upcoming low-frequency Square Kilometre Array (SKA-Low) will transform these telescopes into extremely powerful instruments capable of detecting Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), other fast transients like “rotating radio transients” (RRATs), i.e. sporadically emitting neutron stars and possibly other phenomena in real-time. About the researchers Melanie Johnston-Hollitt is an internationally prominent radio astronomer working in the space between astrophysics, computer science, and big data. She is Director of the Curtin Institute for Computation (CIC), a knowledge accelerator based on the use of data science and high-performance computing aimed at producing better outcomes for research, government, and industry. In her 20-year career, Melanie has been involved in the design, construction, operation, and governance of several major international radio telescopes including the Low Frequency Array in the Netherlands, the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) in Western Australia, and the billion-dollar Square Kilometre Array (SKA) which will be hosted in both Australia and South Africa. She was a founding member of the Board of Directors for the SKA Organisation where she worked on the international governance, scientific, and technical aspects of the telescope. In particular, she led the Science Analysis Pipeline design and contributed to the Science Data Processor pipeline which will be needed to extract knowledge from the vast amounts of data the SKA telescope will generate. She is the immediate past director of the 65 million-dollar MWA radio telescope and spent 9 years involved in the project, including 6 years on the international executive board (4 years as board chair) and 3 as director. As MWA Director she oversaw the third phase of the MWA project realised via the design and funding for the new ‘MWAX correlator’ – a GPU-based bespoke compute system. Her research interests span the intersection between radio astronomy, signal and image processing, and big data analytics and she leads both the multi-disciplinary team of data scientists in the CIC and the galactic and extragalactic science team in the Curtin Institute for Radio Astronomy who are exploiting the MWA and other telescopes to uncover the mysteries of the Universe. Martin Meyer’s research focuses on surveys for neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) and the role played by hydrogen gas in the formation and evolution of galaxies. Matin leads the DINGO survey, a project that will take deep HI observations with the Australian SKA Pathfinder to understand how the HI content of the Universe has evolved over the past 4 billion years. In the lead-up to this project, He is working on CHILES, a deep HI survey being carried out with the VLA, as well as wide-field HI stacking experiments in the GAMA G09 field also being observed with this facility. Martin is a member of the SKA HI galaxy science working group. Marcin Sokolowski is a Research Fellow at Curtin Institute of Radio Astronomy (CIRA), Australia. Marcin received Master Degree in Physics from the University of Warsaw, Poland in 1998and a Ph.D. degree in Physics from the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) in Warsaw, Poland in 2008. Between 1998 and 2003 he worked as a software programmer in a software company. From 2008 until 2012 he was an Assistant Professor in NCBJ where we worked on software for the automation of wide-field robotic telescopes and algorithms for the identification of optical transients of astrophysical origin. In the last few years, he has been looking for Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) and other transients at low radio-frequencies using the wide-field images from the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) and all-sky images from prototype stations of the low-frequency Square Kilometre Array (SKA-Low). He works in a large international team of engineers and scientists on verification, commissioning and developing novel calibration methods for prototype stations of the SKA-Low to be built in Western Australia in the coming years.

NVIDIA High Performance Visualisation https://pawsey.org.au/event/nvidia-high-performance-visualisation/ https://staging.dresa.org.au/events/nvidia-high-performance-visualisation NVIDIA Omniverse is an open platform built for virtual collaboration and real-time physically accurate simulation. Complex creator, designer, and engineering visual workflows are transformed as users and teams connect major design tools, assets, and projects for collaborative iteration in a shared virtual space. The recently released Omniverse ParaView Connector gives scientists a familiar path for getting their data into Omniverse. Via the connector, scientists can continue to use ParaView’s powerful infrastructure for data ingestion and filtering before ultimately importing it to Omniverse to create rich, impactful visualizations. But, importing scientific data to Omniverse does not just enable cinematic visualization using the latest rendering technologies. It also connects that data to the broader ecosystem of content creation and rendering tools already connected to Omniverse. This session will demonstrate the basic workflow of the Omniverse ParaView Connector and how scientists can start using it for their own visualization projects. 2021-07-09 09:00:00 UTC 2021-07-09 10:00:00 UTC Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre Kensington, Australia Kensington Australia Pawsey Supercomputing CentreNVIDIA training@pawsey.org.au [] [] webinar open_to_all data visualisation -
