HPE to deliver small supercomputer for Australia’s MWA Telescope
HPE will deliver a supercomputing cluster to support the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) radio telescope in Australia. The AU$2m ($1.3m) deployment comes ahead of an AU$70 million (US$46m) supercomputing refresh at the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre. Clusters for arrays "The new MWA cluster at Pawsey will feature 156 of the latest generation of Intel [Xeon Gold 6230] CPUs and 78 cutting-edge [Nvidia V100] GPUs with more high-bandwidth memory, internal high-speed storage and more memory per node," Mark Stickells, Pawsey Executive Director, said.
HPE to build supercomputer for MWA telescope in Australia
HPE has been selected by the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre in Perth to deliver a new $2 million compute cluster that will support one of the Square Kilometre Array precursor projects in Australia, the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) radio telescope. he new 78-node cluster will provide a dedicated system for astronomers to process in excess of 30 PB – equal to 399 years of high definition video – of MWA telescope data using Pawsey infrastructure. The new cluster will provide users with enhanced GPU capabilities to power AI, computational work, machine learning workflows and data analytics.
