Research Computing @ NUS

In a research environment, High-Performance Computing (HPC) system provides advanced hardware, software, tools, and programming libraries to accelerate computational workloads. This enables researchers to run large-scale simulations, drive complex analyses, and advance scientific discoveries at a faster pace.

At the National University of Singapore (NUS), a hybrid approach integrates both centralized and distributed HPC provisioning. While some departments and research groups manage their own local resources, the NUS IT HPC team provides centralized HPC infrastructure and services to support faculty, researchers, and students across campus. Additionally, NUS IT provides access to external resources such as the National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) and Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) to offer alternative ways of accessing high-end HPC resources, further empowering researchers to tackle large-scale, data-intensive challenges.

About NUS IT HPC

Central HPC support at NUS IT began in 1989 when a shared vector supercomputer was made available to the NUS research community. Since then, a variety of HPC systems and technologies had been introduced to meet wide range of research computing requirements. In our recent development, we have been focusing on developing a data-centric HPC environment since the beginning of 2010s. From mid-2010s, additional focus on AI related resources and technologies has been initiated to keep pace with emerging Machine Learning/Deep Learning research requirements. We are expecting the HPC-AI era in research computing to be in full swing in 2020s.

The following is the list of HPC-AI resources and services NUS IT provides to accelerate research discovery in the next era of data- and AI-centric research computing development:
