Data centers are considered “the world’s greatest energy guzzlers” and are estimated to consume a tenth of global energy production. Rapid technological innovation has led to greater energy consumption and, consequently, higher greenhouse gas emissions that are having visible and devastating impacts on the environment. Red Dot Analytics (RDA), a deep-tech company providing industrial AI software, has taken the pioneering AI and “cognitive digital twin” research by NTU and has digitally modelled NSCC’s entire operation to identify inefficiencies in its hot and cold air-mixing framework that led to a poor power usage effectiveness rating. The discovery – and the efforts to correct it – resulted in NSCC achieving energy cost savings of US$4,400 a month, as well as a 15% to 30% improvement in its cooling systems efficiencies.

In an agreement signed between Japan’s Research Organization for Information Science and Technology (RIST) and National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) Singapore in November 2021, Singapore researchers were granted regular access to the world’s most powerful supercomputer, Japan’s Fugaku system. In the first such arrangement of its kind outside of Japan, Singapore researchers can now apply for available resources through an annual Call for Projects to Fugaku, which is facilitated by NSCC in partnership with RIST. The successful project awardees from Singapore span a number of research fields including materials research, advanced manufacturing & engineering and urban solutions & sustainability.

The SupercomputingAsia Conference recognised key HPC pioneer-leaders with its annual SCA22 Awards. The winning teams from Asia, Australia and the US were also announced at the awards ceremony for the international Data Mover Challenge 2021 (DMC21) competition. Find out more in the Media Release.

NSCC, SingHealth and NVIDIA have collaborated to develop a research ecosystem of hardware and software tools to support healthcare and medical research at Singapore’s largest public healthcare cluster. These include a new supercomputer and access to advanced software, training and high-performance computing (HPC)-enabled pre-trained AI models to significantly accelerate large-scale and complex healthcare research. The collaborations were signed at the Opening Ceremony of the annual international SupercomputingAsia 2022 (SCA22) conference and reflects the theme of the SupercomputingAsia 2022 (SCA22) conference, “Towards Supercomputing for All”, which highlights the growing ubiquity of advanced supercomputing resources in an increasing number of fields.
