The ANU Supercomputer Facility (ANUSF) provides advanced computing support to computational science, engineering, social science and the humanities. Advanced computing includes high performance computing, large or complex data management, high-end visualization (including virtual environments), and virtual community management.

As well as supporting advanced computing infrastructure, the ANUSF supports researchers with expertise at all levels, from basic operational support to algorithm development and implementation and collaboration in research projects. The Facility runs courses on various HPC topics, support related education programs at the ANU, and are involved in a range of industrial collaborations.

The ANUSF operates and supports the peak computer system of the National Facility of the Australian Partnership for Advanced Computing (APAC), of which the ANU is a Partner.

Applications for time under the ANU partner share of the APACNF for Jan 2009 - Dec 2009 are due by 2 Nov 2008. Apply using the Application through Partner-Share web form under the APACNF Accounts pages.

ANUSF provides Storage Services for a range of large data projects, from handling large volumes of data from computational models or instruments such as astronomical telescopes, grid technologies, data analysis and mining, and supporting workflows and specialised repositories.

Most of the information on ANUSF services and activities is therefore now available on the APAC National Facility web pages.
