NSCC Singapore strives for products and services with the highest levels of security and reliability.
This month, NSCC concluded a week of engagement at ISC 2026 in Hamburg, Germany, one of the world’s premier conferences for the high performance computing (HPC) community. The event provided an important platform to strengthen international partnerships, contribute to strategic discussions on the future of HPC, showcase Singapore’s leadership in advanced computing and celebrate the achievements of Singapore’s student teams on the global stage.
On the exhibition floor, NSCC’s exhibition booth welcomed delegates from around the world, providing a vibrant space for technical discussions, networking and collaboration. Visitors also had the opportunity to learn more about Singapore’s national HPC ecosystem, career opportunities at NSCC, and took home a range of uniquely Singapore-inspired keepsakes, including our popular HPC plushies and Peranakan tile inspired coasters.
HPC Around the World: Asia-Pacific
NSCC chaired the invited session, “HPC Around the World: Asia-Pacific”, which brought together HPC leaders from Singapore, Australia, China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea and India.
The session explored how national HPC ecosystems across the region are evolving in response to the convergence of AI, data-intensive research and emerging quantum technologies. Speakers shared perspectives on infrastructure planning, resource optimisation, national investment strategies and the growing need for scalable, energy-efficient computing to support increasingly complex workloads.
Representing Singapore, NSCC’s Deputy Director Wang Yi shared how NSCC is evolving to support the next generation of AI-enabled and data-intensive research. He highlighted how HPC centres must reimagine their roles beyond providing compute infrastructure, placing greater emphasis on user enablement, technical partnerships and capability development. Drawing on NSCC’s initiatives, he highlighted the importance of equipping researchers with the skills needed to effectively harness next-generation computing, enabling them to tackle increasingly complex and AI-driven scientific workloads.
Alliance of Supercomputing Centres (ASC) Meeting
The Alliance of Supercomputing Centres (ASC) meeting was another key highlight during ISC 2026. Hosted by NSCC and co-moderated with Calcul Québec, the session brought together representatives from leading HPC centres, including NCHC Taiwan and CSC Finland, to exchange perspectives on the opportunities and challenges arising from the rapid convergence of AI and HPC.
Discussions explored how national HPC centres are adapting their infrastructure, service models and resource strategies to support increasingly diverse workloads, ranging from traditional scientific simulations to AI training and inference. Participants also shared operational experiences and lessons learned as centres evolve to meet changing user needs.
NSCC Networking Event
NSCC was pleased to host HPC centres and collaborators from across the global HPC community for an evening of networking and exchange. The event brought together local and international HPC communities for a night of collaboration and insightful changes, building relationships over excellent food and warm conversation.
Student Cluster Competition (SCC)
NSCC was also proud to support Singapore’s student teams—Nanyang Technological University (NTU)’s Team Supernova and the National University of Singapore (NUS)’s Team Kent Ridge—as they represented Singapore at the Student Cluster Competition (SCC).
Jointly organised by ISC High Performance and the HPC-AI Advisory Council, the annual competition challenges undergraduate students to optimise scientific applications, perform benchmarking exercises and solve complex computational tasks under demanding conditions, providing a unique platform to apply HPC knowledge in a competitive, real-world environment.
We congratulate both teams on their outstanding performance, which showcases the strength of Singapore’s growing HPC talent pipeline and reinforces the importance of nurturing the next generation of computational scientists and engineers.
Looking ahead: SupercomputingAsia 2027 (SCA2027)
We are excited to welcome the global HPC community back to Singapore for SupercomputingAsia 2027 (SCA2027) from 1–4 March 2027.
SCA2027 will bring together researchers, industry leaders, technology providers and policymakers from across the region and beyond to exchange ideas, showcase innovations and discuss the latest developments shaping HPC, AI and emerging technologies.
