Accessing Pawsey Supercomputers: Eligibility, Allocation Schemes, and Research Opportunities
Accessing Pawsey Supercomputers involves various eligibility criteria for Australian research institutions and government agencies. The National Computational Merit Allocation Scheme (NCMAS) is a key avenue for gaining access to facilities like Pawsey and NCI. Competitive merit schemes, such as the Energy & Resources Scheme and Pawsey Partner Scheme, offer research opportunities in fields like geosciences and radio astronomy. Industry collaboration and compliance with relevant laws are essential for access.

Getting access to Getting access to Pawsey Supercomputers Pawsey Supercomputers
Eligible Activities Research and Innovation: papers, patents, process optimisation Research data products: mineral maps, radio astronomy data cubes In addition, the application needs to be larger than institutional level infrastructure would support.
Who is Eligible Australian research institutions: Universities, and agencies eligible for ARC grants such as CSIRO and BOM Free via competitive merit and Director s discretion Western Australian Government agencies: Free via competitive merit and Director s discretion Industry and other government agencies: Paid, or free if there is academic collaboration Compliance with relevant laws and export controls, including Australian Defence Trade Controls Act, United Nations Security Council sanctions, Australian Autonomous Sanctions and U.S. Export Controls.

The National Computational Merit Allocation Scheme (NCMAS) the premier Australian competitive merit scheme open to all eligible employees of universities and recognised research institutions across Australia awards time at the two Australian peak facilities Pawsey and NCI, as well as several other facilities
Geosciences and Radioastronomy Dedicated shares of Pawsey resources Radio Astronomy Share ASKAP and MWA radiotelescopes Energy & Resources Scheme national scheme restricted to research related to exploration, mining, oil and gas, downstream processing, renewable energy, and energy storage
The Pawsey Partner Scheme open to all employees of CSIRO, the four public Western Australian universities, and the Western Australian Government agencies Recommended to first apply through NCMAS or Energy & Resources scheme
The Directors Discretionary scheme prototyping, benchmarking towards preparation of a competitive merit allocation feasibility study on commercial access typically small allocations commercial arrangements are available to industry to purchase time on Pawsey supercomputers
Apply for the right Resource Magnus - distributed-memory computing Galaxy- ASKAP and MWA operations Zeus various purpose, complementary to Magnus and Galaxy
When to Apply NCMAS, Energy & Resources, Pawsey Partner Apply September - October for the following year s allocation Announcements in December Director s Share Open all year Under exceptional circumstances an out of session application can be made to the Energy & Resources or Pawsey Partner schemes. Commercial access can be discussed at any time.
Assessment Criteria The competitive merit rounds are highly competitive with applications of a very high standard it is important to fill out the forms to adequately address the assessment criteria. See the Pawsey user support website for how much to apply for, assessment criteria and eligibility information.
