Recently, the iVEC Pawsey Centre in Perth saw successful installation of its supercomputing facilities – which include partitions for multi-purpose research and real-time processing of radio astronomy data from major facilities, including CSIRO’s ASKAP telescope.
Having performed pre-acceptance tests of the system, members of the ASKAP Computing team are now using iVEC’s new general purpose petascale system – the main CRAY supercomputer known as Magnus – as part of the Early Adopter program.
