A National Research Infrastructure Offering Petascale Supercomputing Resources

The National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) Singapore was established in 2015 to manage Singapore’s national petascale facilities and high-performance computing (HPC) resources. As a National Research Infrastructure funded by the National Research Foundation (NRF), the HPC resources that we provide help support the research needs of the public and private sectors, including research institutes, institutes of higher learning, government agencies and companies.

 

As a national strategic technological platform, NSCC has the mandate to enhance industry competence, capacity and competitive advantage in the use of HPC in all relevant fields such as computational science, analytics, engineering, advanced manufacturing, genomics, biomedicine and healthcare, among many others. With the support of its partners and stakeholders, NSCC catalyses national research and development initiatives, attracts industrial research collaborations and enhances Singapore’s research capabilities. 

Collaboration Examples

NSCC has established partnerships and collaborations with local and overseas educational institutions, industry bodies, healthcare institutions and research centres to increase accessibility to and support through HPC. Key partnerships include:

Agreement with Japan’s RIST to grant Singapore researchers regular access to Japan’s Fugaku supercomputer.

Agreement with Finland’s CSC – IT Centre for Science to enable Singapore researchers to utilise GPU Resources on CSC’s LUMI supercomputer.

MoU between ITE and NSCC to boost its
applied Artificial Intelligence projects

MoU between Singapore Polytechnic and NSCC to support its AI programmes and local enterprises in their digital transformation journey

Partnership with NUHS to build their Prescience supercomputer which is dedicated to healthcare and medical research and deployed to train artificial intelligence models that boost delivery of care.

Partnership with SingHealth to build CHROMA, the centre’s first supercomputer that enables the processing and research of large amounts of clinical data.

MoU between NSCC, SingAREN, the Quantum Engineering Programme of NUS and Finland’s CSC-IT Centre for Science to explore links between Finland and Singapore and more secure ways of protecting data transfer through quantum technology.

MoU between Singapore LNG Corporation Pte Ltd, NSCC, NUS and Surbana Jurong to explore the development of a Proof-of-Value for a Green Modular Data Centre System.
