CUG 2024

Australia’s Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre and the CUG Board would like to invite you to the 2024 CUG Conference in Perth, Western Australia, on May 5-9, 2024. The theme for the 2024 event is Diverse Universe, highlighting our commitment to supporting diverse scientific workloads and services including world-class radioastronomy. The theme pays tribute to Australia’s biodiversity, represented by the inclusion of the quokka in the event logo and the importance of diversity and inclusivity in our industry. Pawsey is home to Setonix, the most powerful public research supercomputer in the Southern Hemisphere. In November 2022, it was ranked 15th in the Top500 list and 4th in Green500. Setonix is a 50Pflop/s HPE CRAY EX system, fully commissioned in 2023. The system is named after WA’s iconic marsupial, the quokka (Setonix brachyurus) and displays artwork from First Nations artist, and Wajarri Yamajti elder, Margaret Whitehurst.
