The National Computational Infrastructure (NCI), Australia’s high-performance supercomputer, cloud and data repository, has received a $7M boost from the Australian Government, matched by the NCI Collaborating partners. The NCI predicts that the $14M investment will provide a 30 per cent increase in NCI’s computational capability. In addition, it will allow the NCI to continue to provide a robust service for nationally significant research data across a range of disciplines, including the earth and environmental sciences, medical research, astronomy and materials science. The funding will be used to support the ongoing delivery of NCI’s supercomputing services to more than 4,000 researchers in more than 80 per cent of Australian universities, together with government science agencies, medical research institutes, and industry.
