COSMOS BRIEFING - Supercomputing & Big Data, What does it really mean for business in Australia?

Description

Think of a computing process underpinned by masses of complex data – such as modelling planet-wide shifts in climate, or simulating the detonation of an atomic bomb. The process is known as supercomputing, and it’s run on a powerful system working at its maximum potential performance – a supercomputer.
Typical supercomputing applications include weather forecasting, resources exploration and climate research. More recently they’ve been employed on multiple fronts during the COVID pandemic. They’re the big analysis machines we turn to in order consider the world’s, and science’s, very big questions.

In this role, she is leading the Australian effort to build computing and data intensive research capabilities that will support astronomers using the next generation of telescopes. She is also currently the Project Scientist for WALLABY, the all-sky neutral hydrogen survey that is being conducted on the CSIRO’s new telescope, the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP). Professor Sean Smith (Director @NCI Australia) Sean Smith commenced as Director of the NCI in January 2018 and is conjointly Professor of computational nanomaterials science and technology at the ANU. He has extensive theoretical and computational research experience in chemistry, nanomaterials and nano-bio science and technology Ivan Galea (VP Head of Analytics and Data Science department @Atlassian) Ivan Galea joined Atlassian as the Vice President, Analytics and Data Science in May of 2018. A native of the Mediterranean island of Malta, Ivan completed his PhD in Computational Physics from Yale University. fascinated by algorithmic trading and the application of analytics in the business of equities trading. He spent months building and perfecting an algorithmic model that performed significantly better than the traders and discovered that the true impact comes from empowering people with these tools.
