About our supercomputers

Overview

OzSTAR

OzSTAR is the current Swinburne supercomputer. Installed in 2018, a key role of OzSTAR is to underpin the computational efforts of the Swinburne-hosted Centre of Excellence in Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav). It also continues our tradition of operating as a national facility for the astronomy community through the GPU Supercomputer for Theoretical…

Green II: gSTAR and SwinSTAR

The Green II supercomputer operated at Swinburne from 2012 until it was finally retired in 2019. It featured a compute component that was a hybrid of traditional x64 processing cores (the CPUs) and graphics processing units (GPUs). The compute nodes were combined with a petascale data store and the entire…
