ASPIRE 1

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

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.

Aligned with the ISC High Performance conference digital-delivery, organizers rebooted the second year of the all remote SCC, garnering added support from Canada’s University of Toronto, SciNet Supercomputing Centre with the ongoing support of the National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) Singapore. The prestigious institutions provided generous allocations of supercomputer system time to the teams on their highly utilized and in-demand production resources. Find out more in the Press Release.

Press Release

28 April 2021 - Singapore's newest national supercomputer on track to meet future smart nation and research needs

NSCC Singapore has awarded the tender for the development of the next generation national supercomputer system plus upgrades to the national storage and research network infrastructure. The new system is expected to provide up to 10 Petaflops (10 PFLOPS) of computing capacity and is eight times more powerful than the current supercomputer. The new supercomputer is the first in a series of systems that will form the backbone of the nation’s future supercomputing resources which will support research in areas like climate change, biomedical science and smart nation activities.
