Stakeholders of the National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) Singapore - including the Agency for Science Technology and Research (A*STAR), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), National University of Singapore (NUS), and Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) - aim to build on its early growth momentum to elevate supercomputing in Singapore into the next phase. This includes dovetailing NSCC’s future plans into the S$19 billion national Research, Innovation and Enterprise 2020 (RIE2020) master plan, said Peter Ho, Chairman of NSCC Steering Committee.
At the opening address at the third edition of the Supercomputing Frontiers (SCF) Conference earlier this week Ho observed that “Singapore is only at the start of developing and implementing a high performance computing (HPC) strategic roadmap”.
“For the NSCC to realise the vision of catalysing supercomputing in Singapore, its team will have to bootstrap on the knowledge and experience of others,” he said.
The inaugural SCF/NSCC Awards, which aim to promote excellence in HPC, networking, storage and visualisation in the areas of Singapore’s research, innovation, education and enterprise, were launched at the SCF2017 opening ceremony. The awards also aim to recognise research and commercial efforts that tap on Singapore’s first national petascale computing facility ASPIRE 1’s computational power to drive innovation, raise productivity and improve lives.
Notable winners of the inaugural awards are:
· Supercomputing Frontiers Singapore Distinguished Service Award, Lim Chuan Poh, Chairman, A*STAR
· Supercomputing Frontiers Singapore Visionary Award, Raj Thampuran, MD, A*STAR
· NSCC Outstanding HPC Scientific Award – Data Storage Institute, A*STAR
· NSCC Outstanding HPC Industry Application Award – Keppel Offshore and Marine Technology Centre (KOMtech)
Global Gene Corporation (Honourable Mention)
· NSCC Outstanding HPC Innovation Award - Institute of High Performance Computing
GenomeAsia100K (Honourable Mention)
The winners were handpicked by a seven-member judging panel. Other notable award submissions include:
Keppel Offshore & Marine Technology Centre (KOMtech)’s winning project, which made extensive use of NSCC’s HPC resources to optimise the designs of rigs and vessels in the product development process.
Tan Tock Seng Hospital’s use of HPC technology combined with whole-genome-sequencing to provide useful information for on-the-ground infection control, by determining the transmission routes of bacteria that are invisible to the human eye.
The SCF 2017 is attended by more than 450 participants from 12 countries. The focus on this year’s conference is on global trends and innovations in high performance computing.
