Work has completed on transforming high performance computer Euramoo into a new, easier-to-use supercomputer, called Awoonga, for Queensland researchers.
The QCIF/UQ Research Computing Centre project, first announced in QRISnews in August this year, has built Awoonga to be compatible with existing research HPCs FlashLite and Tinaroo (Tinaroo is for UQ researchers only) to enable researchers to work seamlessly across the clusters.
Like its predecessor Euramoo, Awoonga is designed to support high-throughput workloads.
Users who previously used Euramoo automatically received accounts on Awoonga. New users wanting access to Awoonga will need to request an account. The QRIScloud Help Desk is ready to assist anyone who needs help trying Awoonga for the first time (email: This email address is being protected from spambots.

An Awoonga User Guide is available on the QRIScloud website, with Awoonga’s login nodes accessible via Secure Shell at awoonga.qriscloud.org.au.
QCIF/RCC’s tech’ team has recently completed a major release across HPCs FlashLite, Tinaroo and Awoonga, including upgrading:

The University of Queensland and James Cook University both now have community user groups to provide support to those using R, a programming language for statistical analysis, data visualisation and more.
