A picture of Setonix

Key characteristics

  • Phase 1 provides more than 2 PFLOPs of computing power through CPU-only nodes based on the AMD EPYC Zen 3 architecture.

  • Phase 2 will extend Setonix to include additional CPU nodes as well as a large GPU node partition based on the AMD Instinct MI250X architecture, for a total of 43 PFLOPs of theoretical peak performance (8 PFLOPs in the CPU-only nodes and 35 PFLOPs in the GPU-nodes).

Setonix, has been recognised as one of the greenest supercomputers in the world, after ranking in the top5 on the globally recognised Green500 list. Setonix was also named the most powerful public research supercomputer in the Southern Hemisphere, ranking 15 in the global Top500 ranking as well as 10 in the HPL Mixed-Precision Benchmark in November 2022.

Filesystems

There are a number of filesystems mounted by Pawsey supercomputers:

titleMigration: Filesystems

While Pawsey is migrating from old systems to the new one, Setonix, the following points stand true:

  • The /group filesystem has been decommissioned. All projects should store data on Acacia when using Setonix.

  • Setonix will mount a different /home  and /scratch filesystem than Garrawarla, with the same mount point but different corresponding filesystems.


For more information about filesystems and file management, see File Management.

...

Each project and each user have access to a long-term storage solution for their data implemented via the object storage Acacia. Supercomputing users transfer data to and from Acacia using dedicated commands already installed on supercomputers. For more information, visit /wiki/spaces/DATA/pages/54459742visit Acacia - User Guide .

HPC software

Pawsey installs and supports a range of software packages, which can be managed and accessed through the Modules system. Additional software can be installed by users through Spack or manual builds or by means of Containers. For more information, visit the Software Stack page.
