“CSIRO will spend up to $5 million on a Linux-based
high performance computing system to help boost research efforts at
the Pawsey Centre for SKA Science in Perth.

“The Pawsey High Performance Computer (HPC) will be used in the
Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project, which will use a telescope 50
times more sensitive than current instruments and about 3600
antennae spread over thousands of kilometres to peer into deep
space.

“The SKA will capture data on the evolution of galaxies, dark
matter and energy, providing insight into the origins of the
universe about 13 billion years ago.”
