New Healthcare Innovation Centre Launched at SingHealth Duke-NUS Scientific Congress 2023

One of the Centre’s key features is a new supercomputer and SingHealth’s first, called Computational Health Research and Optimisation for Medical Advancements (CHROMA), which was made possible through a partnership with the National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) Singapore. CHROMA has high-performance computing capabilities that enables the processing and research of large amounts of clinical data.

Case Studies -
How supercomputers
are helping Singapore

Supercomputers are the perfect tools for the most complex and
computationally challenging research the world has to offer. Find out
how Singapore's supercomputers are helping to solve these challenges
across different sectors.

ASPIRE 1

Singapore's first national petascale supercomputer. Consists of 1,288 nodes of CPU and accelerator nodes with NVIDIA K40 GPUs.

ASPIRE 2A

Singapore's newest national supercomputer. A green, warm water-cooled system providing an aggregate of up to 10 PFLOPS of raw compute power and is almost seven times more powerful than the current ASPIRE 1 supercomputer

AI Platform

The AI platform consists of 6 units of 8-GPU NVIDIA DGX-1 with V100 cards. The system is meant for projects that focus on AI research with particular novelty on scale and/or throughput breakthrough.

Köppen System

The Köppen system at NSCC is specifically designed to support HPC research activities in climate and environment research in areas such as advanced modelling and simulation and weather pattern analysis.

NSCC Stakeholders

A National Research Infrastructure Offering Petascale Supercomputing Resources

NSCC Singapore was established in 2015 and manages Singapore’s first national petascale facility with available high performance computing (HPC) resources. As a National Research Infrastructure funded by the National Research Foundation (NRF), we support the HPC research needs of the public and private sectors, including research institutes, institutes of higher learning (IHLs), government agencies and companies.

22 Sep 2023 - New Healthcare Innovation Centre Launched at SingHealth Duke-NUS Scientific Congress 2023

The Alice Lee Innovation Centre of Excellence @ SGH Campus aims to accelerate healthcare innovations such as medical technology and digital healthcare solutions. One of the Centre’s key features is a new supercomputer and SingHealth’s first, called Computational Health Research and Optimisation for Medical Advancements (CHROMA), which was made possible through a partnership with the National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) Singapore. CHROMA has high-performance computing capabilities that enables the processing and research of large amounts of clinical data. Find out more in the Media Release.

Press Release

16 Aug 2023 - NUHS leverages supercomputer to drive AI in healthcare

The Prescience supercomputer, a first in Singapore’s healthcare sector, is deployed to train artificial intelligence models that boost delivery of care. NUHS inked a collaborative agreement with the National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) Singapore on 3 December 2021 to build this supercomputer dedicated to healthcare and medical research. Researchers are now able to use medical big data to train AI models using multiple NVIDIA DGX A100 compute nodes that can accommodate the large sizes of LLMs, which was previously not possible with single graphical processing unit (GPU) systems. Find out more in the Media Release.
