High Performance Computing (HPC) resource allocation round

Intersect has run a round of resource allocation for research time on the two NSW super computer clusters. Applications closed in late March, and Campus Coordinators met on April 24 and May 1 to finalise the allocations. The super computer ‘Barossa’ was oversubscribed by 20 per cent and ‘McLaren’ by 60 per cent. This is further confirmation that NSW universities' access to appropriate capacity is limited.
