ANU Supercomputer Facility


               Access to VPPp300 Supercomputer at ANU 
                                 for 
                Research staff and postgraduate students 
                     at all Australian universities 


The 28 Gigaflop VPP300 supercomputer at the ANU is amongst the most 
powerful university-based computers in the world. The VPP is a 
distributed memory system with 13 processors. 

A substantial portion of the available resources are made available to 
research staff and postgraduate students at all Australian universities 
free of charge.

Successful projects will be granted sufficient resources to make 
substantial progress in a major computationally-based research program, 
typically 1000-3000 processor hours per year.  Larger and smaller 
proposals will also be entertained.

Allocations are made on a peer-review basis.  Postgraduate students 
should apply through their supervisors.  Every effort will be made to 
ensure that supported projects are given the necessary continuity to 
complete theses and projects.

The ANU is particularly seeking to support internationally competitive 
projects which can take advantage of the unique capacity of the VPP300 
to tackle computationally demanding problems which are not feasible on 
other systems available to researchers in Australia.  Projects led by 
external Principal Investigators in collaboration with ANU researchers 
are particularly encouraged.
