Singapore’s next-generation national supercomputer has arrived!

The ASPIRE 2A changes everything with its 10 Petaflops of computing capacity, delivering an astounding eight times more power than the current national supercomputer, the ASPIRE 1.

This next-generation supercomputer augments and enables tools such as AI, deep machine learning and quantum computing – amplifying research in areas like weather and climate monitoring, genomic, engineering, offshore and marine, urban planning and biomedical science, and much more.

Visit our roadshow to get a sneak peek at the ASPIRE 2A, discover its key features and see how the new system can accelerate your research capabilities to exponential levels. You’ll also get to network with fellow members of Singapore’s HPC community and connect with potential project collaborators.
