This page outlines the computational infrastructure, specialist support, and software resources available to ABLeS project teams. Quick links and how-to guides are included to help you make the most of these resources.
Computational resources
ABLeS projects receive compute and storage allocations on both the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre and the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI), reviewed quarterly. Additional resources may be requested by a project’s bioinformatics lead.
Pawsey Supercomputing Centre
ABLeS includes 10 million service units (SUs) of compute capacity on Setonix and flexible storage on the fast S3 based Acacia storage system. These SUs can be utilised across CPU and GPU nodes.
Centrally installed software and popular bioinformatics reference datasets are available on Pawsey. You can find more details here.

National Computational Infrastructure (NCI)
ABLeS encompasses 16 million SUs of compute capacity and 500 TB of storage available per annum on the Gadi supercomputer at the NCI. These SUs can be utilised to run jobs on different nodes of GADI that are equipped with either CPUs or GPUs.
