Setonix, the Australia’s newest supercomputer

Setonix is embellished with customary fine art from Margaret Whitehurst, a Wajarri Yamatji craftsman who took motivation from the night sky over Wajarri country.

Western Australia’s Pawsey Supercomputing Center has revealed the initial segment of its new $48 million supercomputer as it gets ready for a significant move up to current limit.

Western Australia’s Pawsey Supercomputing Center has divulged the initial segment of its new $48 million supercomputer as it plans for a significant move up to current limit.

The supercomputer is named Setonix, after the logical name for a quokka, and will offer nearly 50 petaFLOPS of registering power when it is completely functional late one year from now – exactly multiple times more impressive than Pawsey’s two supercomputers joined.

Mark Stickells, chief overseer of Pawsey, said the new PC is a significant achievement in Australian supercomputing.

Setonix is coming web-based in two phases with the first, currently set up in WA, opening up for research assignment ahead of schedule one year from now.

Stage two will show up in mid-2022 and will be completely online before the year’s over.

Setonix is enhanced with customary work of art from Margaret Whitehurst, a Wajarri Yamatji craftsman who took motivation from the night sky over Wajarri country.

Margaret’s plan is a delightful portrayal of a practice of Aboriginal stargazing that goes back millennia,” Stickells said.

“Margaret and the Wajarri public are the customary proprietors of CSIRO’s Murchison Radio-space science Observatory in Western Australia where one region of the planet biggest radio stargazing observatory, the Square Kilometer Array, will be fabricated.
