NSCC Singapore strives for products and services with the highest levels of security and reliability.
2025 was a year of meaningful progress for NSCC Singapore as we continued strengthening Singapore’s national research ecosystem through high performance computing (HPC). Guided by our three priorities — Enhancing HPC Capacity & Diversity, Talent & User Enablement, and Operational Excellence — we expanded both our infrastructure capabilities and engagement with the research community.
Our national supercomputing platforms supported impactful research across fields such as climate science, biomedical discovery, engineering optimisation and AI-driven innovation. At the same time, NSCC Singapore continued evolving from an infrastructure provider into a strategic enabler of advanced computing, working closely with researchers to translate compute into scientific outcomes.
During the year, we advanced Singapore’s hybrid computing ambitions with the launch of Hybrid Quantum-Classical Computing (HQCC) 1.0, while introducing Communities of Practice to strengthen collaboration and knowledge exchange across research domains. We also expanded training programmes, HPC clinics and technical engagements to help researchers better harness national supercomputing resources.
Looking ahead, 2026 marks a significant milestone as NSCC Singapore celebrates its 10th Anniversary, alongside the launch of our next national supercomputer, which will further strengthen Singapore’s capabilities in AI-driven discovery, large-scale simulation and emerging hybrid computing workloads.
Beyond infrastructure, NSCC Singapore is also laying the groundwork for the next phase of our evolution — deepening our role as a strategic enabler of advanced computing through algorithm development and co-design, specialised advisory services, and expanded training pathways to help researchers fully harness next-generation systems.
As we enter this next chapter, I would like to thank our partners, collaborators and user community for their continued trust and support. I encourage you to explore the many inspiring research stories enabled through NSCC Singapore on our website, and we look forward to advancing discovery, innovation and impact together in the years ahead.

Launch of Hybrid Quantum-Classical Computing 1.0
The HQCC 1.0 led by the National Quantum Office (NQO), builds on capabilities across Singapore’s quantum and supercomputing ecosystem. With S$24.5 million from the National Research Foundation (NRF), HQCC 1.0 aims to position Singapore as an early mover in hybrid quantum–classical computing.
NSCC Singapore – AMD Centre of Excellence (COE)
NSCC Singapore and AMD signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a Centre of Excellence (COE) aimed at accelerating HPC and AI innovation. The COE leverages AMD’s latest processors, accelerators, and development platforms to support advanced research while strengthening Singapore’s talent pipeline through hands-on access to next-generation computing technologies.
NSCC Singapore – CSC Finland Partnership
Building on a longstanding partnership, NSCC Singapore and CSC Finland, home to the LUMI supercomputer, signed a MoU to deepen cooperation in HPC. The partnership advances joint innovation in AI, HPC-quantum integration, digital twin research, and green data centre technologies, enabling knowledge exchange, and expanded international collaboration between the Singapore and Finnish HPC.
SupercomputingAsia 2025 (SCA2025)
SCA2025 was co-organised by NSCC Singapore alongside partners from Australia, Japan, and Thailand, strengthening regional collaboration and advancing Asia’s HPC ecosystem. The conference saw over 1,500 delegates from more than 20 countries engaging in expert panels, technical sessions, and interactive exhibitions showcasing the latest developments in HPC, AI, and quantum technologies.
2025 ACM Asian School on HPC and AI
Co-located with SCA2025 and hosted by NSCC Singapore and Association of Computing Machinery (ACM), the 2025 ACM Asian School on HPC and AI brought together over 80 emerging researchers, teaching assistants and lecturers for an intensive week of technical training in Singapore. The programme provided hands-on exposure to HPC, AI workflows,
and emerging quantum technologies, combining lectures, tutorials, and collaborative learning sessions led by international experts.
The school also aims to strengthen regional talent development by equipping early-career researchers with practical skills, fostering cross-border collaboration, and building a pipeline of future scientists and engineers capable of advancing Asia’s growing advanced computing ecosystem.
Advancing Climate Science: Launch of CAWRAS and Partnership in CAWRET
The official launch of the Climate and Weather Research Alliance Singapore (CAWRAS) marks a significant milestone in national collaboration for tropical climate research. NSCC Singapore provides critical supercomputing resources through the Climate and Weather Research and Evaluation Testbed (CAWRET) which will enable researchers to run high-resolution climate models, improve forecasting of extreme weather events and better assess long-term climate risks.
Hosting Singapore’s First National Quantum Computer
Under a national initiative led by the NQO, Singapore will host Helios, Quantinuum’s latest quantum computer, with NSCC Singapore hosting the system. Slated for installation around the end of 2026, the system will provide researchers and industry partners with local access to quantum hardware to validate use cases, develop hybrid quantum–classical workflows, and build national capabilities for next-generation computing.
