ABOUT THE EVENT
SCA 2025
Co-organised by HPC centres from Singapore, Japan, Australia and Thailand, SupercomputingAsia (SCA) 2025 is an annual conference that encompasses an umbrella of notable supercomputing and allied events in the region and beyond with the goal to promote a vibrant and shared high performance computing (HPC) ecosystem in Asia. The 8th edition of SCA will be held from the 10th of March to the 13th of March 2025 in Singapore.
The theme for SCA25 is HPC and Quantum: Empowering AI, Science, and Innovation.
SCA has quickly grown to become a key meeting and networking platform for HPC and supercomputing value chain for Asia and internationally. Partners share new insights, discuss trends and present the latest advances in the development of supercomputing.
The conference attracts international delegates including executives, principal researchers and HPC professionals from academia, industry and the public sector.
CO-ORGANISERS
The NSCC Singapore manages Singapore’s national high performance computing (HPC) resources, a critical asset that drives the advancement of cutting-edge research, technology and innovation. As a National Research Infrastructure funded by the National Research Foundation (NRF), NSCC Singapore allocates HPC resources to support key National Research & Development (R&D) programmes and projects in achieving significant economic outcomes and scientific imperatives for Singapore.
NSCC Singapore has been tasked to leverage HPC to advance Singapore’s strategic interests, boost national research initiatives, and facilitate industry transformation using HPC in areas like computational science, artificial intelligence (AI), visualisation, modelling & simulation, climate research, biomedicine, genetics and big data analytics. NSCC Singapore works with domain experts and coordinators in various R&D fields to achieve its goals and seeks to develop, nurture and train an HPC-enabled research community to maintain Singapore’s global competitiveness.
NSTDA Supercomputer Center or ThaiSC, which was founded in 2019, is one of the National Science and Technology Infrastructure (NSTI), located in Thailand Science Park. As a leadership center, ThaiSC aims to provide cutting-edge High-Performance Computing (HPC) research and service for the national R&D community.
The National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) is Australia’s one of two Tier-1 high-performance data, storage and computing organisations, providing expert services to benefit all domains of science, government and industry.
NCI brings the Australian Government and the Australian research sector together through a broad collaboration involving the largest national science agencies, universities, industry and the Australian Research Council.
NCI empowers government agencies, universities, and industry across multiple domains of research. Our integrated hardware, services and expertise drive high-impact research and groundbreaking outcomes for Australia.
As the leadership center of high-performance computing, the RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS) explores the “Science of computing, by computing, and for computing.” The outcomes of the exploration – the technologies such as open-source software – are its core competence. The R-CCS strives to enhance the core competence and to promote the technologies throughout the world.
The R-CCS, in collaboration with Fujitsu, developed Fugaku, the most powerful supercomputer in the world. Full operations of Fugaku began in March 2021, offering orders of magnitude increase in computing capabilities and synergy with other IT ecosystems, such as big data and artificial intelligence.
In the past the R-CCS operated the K computer (2012-2019), which resulted in multitudes of world-leading scientific and engineering results, not only by the academia but also by the industry.
The Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre is an unincorporated joint venture between CSIRO, Curtin University, Murdoch University and The University of Western Australia (core members) and Edith Cowan University (founding associate member). It is supported by the Western Australian and Federal governments.
The Centre is one of two Tier-1 High-Performance Computing facilities in Australia. Its primary function is to accelerate scientific research for the benefit of the nation.
Our service and expertise in supercomputing, data, cloud services and visualisation, enables research across a spread of domains including astronomy, life sciences, medicine, energy, resources and artificial intelligence.
Data is stored close to supercomputers, allowing seamless analysis. The adjacent, remote rendering capability allows real-time visualisation of simulations and data.
We support students, industry personnel, researchers, academics, and scientists through seminars and symposia on data, visualisation, and supercomputing, as well as training, internships, and workshops on advanced computing and research and development opportunities.
The Research Organization for Information Science and Technology (RIST) is the designated Registered Institution for Facilities Use Promotion of the flagship computer (The Specific High-Speed Computer Facilities) and the representative for the operation of High Performance Computing Infrastructure of Japan (HPCI). HPCI, High Performance Computing Infrastructure established in 2012 as Japanese national HPC infrastructure, is a system connecting the Tier 0 flagship system and part of the Tier 1 major Universities and National Lab systems by high speed academic network. Visit the HPCI Portal site for more details on how to use the HPCI supercomputers.
