Â鶹ֱ²¥ and DUG Technology Ltd have entered into a decade-long partnership to collaborate in the fields of high-performance computing (HPC), education and research.<\/p>\n
This partnership between industry and academia will accelerate research areas of national significance, including astrophysics, biomedicine and meteorology. Focusing on the needs of industry, DUG and Curtin will develop green technologies that dramatically reduce the carbon footprint of supercomputing. Creating and realising opportunities for education and training in high-performance computing will also be a high priority.<\/p>\n
As part of this agreement DUG will provide:<\/p>\n
DUG founder and Managing Director, Dr Matthew Lamont, a Curtin graduate, said the agreement highlighted the alignment of DUG and Curtin over several years, and the value that high-performance computing and associated expertise can provide to tertiary institutions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe alliance is a significant vote of confidence in DUG\u2019s technology and a perfect example of our ability to provide cost effective and reliable HPC for the tertiary education sector\u2019s specialised research and data analysis needs,\u201d Dr Matthew Lamont said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur solution is unparalleled as we can also provide education, onboarding support, and code optimisation services.\u201d<\/p>\n
Curtin\u2019s Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research, Professor Chris Moran said Curtin is Western Australia\u2019s largest tertiary institution and as a research-intensive organisation had a large and growing need for a diverse set of high-performance computing solutions.<\/p>\n
\u201cÂ鶹ֱ²¥ has been at the forefront of computational and data sciences in Australia for almost two decades,\u201d Professor Chris Moran said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe exciting new partnership with DUG will complement the important work Curtin does through the national Pawsey Supercomputing Centre.\u201d<\/p>\n
The DUG-Curtin partnership has already yielded significant results in radio astronomy and astrophysics, connected to the \u20ac2 billion international SKA Project, half of which will be constructed in Western Australia.<\/p>\n
DUG\u2019s expertise in software engineering and code optimisation, combined with their large-scale supercomputing facilities and the deep expertise of Curtin\u2019s astronomers, has led to exciting new results in the search for the first stars and galaxies in the early Universe. This requires looking for weak signals that originated more than 13 billion years ago.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, using data collected by radio telescopes, DUG and Curtin have co-developed algorithms that can detect and monitor space junk and satellites in Earth orbit. This is increasingly important as the space environment becomes ever more congested and contested.<\/p>\n
John Curtin Distinguished Professor and astronomer from the Â鶹ֱ²¥ node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research, Professor Steven Tingay said Curtin\u2019s partnership with DUG is advancing both fundamental physics and highly practical applications in the real world.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom looking at the early Universe, soon after the Big Bang, to what satellites in Earth\u2019s orbit are doing minute by minute, all requires a lot of time on powerful computers,\u201d Professor Tingay said.<\/p>\n
Over the next decade, DUG and Curtin aim to replicate this success across a range of different research fields, train significant numbers of undergraduate and postgraduate students in high-performance computing, and employ Curtin\u2019s expertise in renewables to find new energy sources for powering future DUG data centres.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
