The Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre in Perth is home to one of the most powerful research HPC installations in the Southern Hemisphere.

Pawsey is also home to the first room-temperature quantum computer through a partnership with Quantum Brilliance. To support this work, Pawsey build a small HPC cluster using latest in GPU and high-speed storage to simulate quantum computations to enable programming and development on traditional silicon.

This talk will outline the technical solution, performance metrics achieved, and key learnings demonstrating how a very fast HPC solution can be built with a small number of nodes to support research into quantum computing.
