Petascale Computing in the ‘Silicon Valley of Asia’
Technology is big in Asia — with increasing percentages of the world’s growth in tech revenue, startup funding, R&D spending, and patents filed — and the newest high-tech hub is Singapore, which recently earned the nickname ‘the Silicon Valley of Asia’ because of its flourishing and fast-paced technology landscape.
NSCC Delivers the Big Iron
Singapore’s National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) manages the nation’s petascale computing resources, and it provides those high-performance computing (HPC) resources to both public- and private-sector organizations including research and educational institutes, businesses, and government agencies. They’re used for innovation in healthcare, materials, weather, biodiversity, urban planning, and more, and NSCC is training future generations of an HPC-enabled workforce.
The unique HPC solution from Altair
Altair put together a unique national license plan covering all non-profit research organizations in Singapore. The license also covered the ASPIRE 1 at NSCC. Along with our Altair® PBS Professional® manager we also set them up with the expert, enterprise-grade support that Altair is known for and the full HPC works stack for cloud busting, budgeting and monitoring HPC use.
“Altair solutions make it possible to use our supercomputers effectively and efficiently, which in turn helps accelerate the research and innovation of our users. Altair’s workload management tools can cater to our requirements and future demands.” — Mr. Stephen Wong, Technical Director, NSCC Singapore
