Most important changes

  • Submissions From 2023 allocation round, submissions to NCMAS and Pawsey Partner Schemes can now include Setonix CPU and Setonix GPU requests.
  • Minimum allocation request size is now 1M Service Units.
  • New accounting Accounting model for Setonix now includes Service Units definition for both Setonix CPU and GPU partitions.    
  • There will be is no Pawsey Partner top-up allocations starting from 2023 allocation round. Researchers can apply to both NCMAS and Pawsey Partner Scheme subject to the eligibility and conditions of these schemes.Pawsey has improved technical review process, scalability criteria is now covering both CPU and GPU parallel scalability as well as data workflows scalability.
  • The new Preparatory Access Scheme is is now available for researchers who need to port and benchmark their codes and workflows before applying to one of the merit allocation schemes.

2024 allocations (Pawsey Supercomputing Centre)

Single application to National Computational Merit Allocation Scheme (NCMAS) and Pawsey Partner Merit Allocation Scheme schemes can now include Setonix-CPU and Setonix-GPU requests. Researchers can apply only for Setonix-CPU allocation, only for Setonix-GPU allocation or for both.

The minimum allocation request for National Computational Merit Allocation Scheme (NCMAS) and Pawsey Partner Merit Allocation Scheme is 1M Service Units.

Resources available in 2023 2024 allocation round are presented in table 1.
