Access

The role of NCI is to provide merit and partner access to internationally significant capability computing resources.

The NCI program provides for:

Merit-based access which, in keeping with NCRIS principles, provides for researchers in publicly funded research institutions to apply for resources on the National Facility and Specialised Facilities.
Partner and affiliate access, in which partner organisations can buy, at full operating cost, a share of resources on the National Facility (and possibly Specialised Facilities), while affiliates can acquire a fixed level of resources for the year in which they invest.
Other access, in which resources can be purchased by the public sector as well as commercial organisations and individuals.

NCI’s advanced computing infrastructure, comprising a petascale HPC system, a large-scale compute cloud (primarily for data-intensive services), and multi-petabyte high-performance storage, is funded through programs of the Department of Industry, Innovation, Climate Change, Science, Research and Tertiary Education, while its operations are sustained through the substantial co-investment by a number of partner organisations including ANU, CSIRO, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, Geoscience Australia and a number of Australia’s research-intensive universities through the Australian Research Council.
