CSIRO invests up to $30m in new supercomputer for faster research
CSIRO is investing up to $30 million to replace its ageing Petrichor supercomputer and accelerate research.
Australia's science agency CSIRO is investing up to $30 million. The $30 million will replace its Canberra-based supercomputer, known as Petrichor.
The new supercomputer will let researchers work faster. Researchers will work on weather forecasting, DNA sequencing and physics simulations.
A CPU cluster is a system of linked computers. These computers perform complex calculations far faster than ordinary machines.
The tender is now open because Petrichor is too old. It no longer works at its best.
This upgrade will help Australian scientists stay competitive. Computing power is important in their fields.
