The researchers of mineAlloy, Vadim Zolotarevskiy and Michael Pereira, have been recently granted with access to the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI). The NCI facility operates Gadi – the most powerful Australian supercomputer. Gadi, that was launched in the beginning of 2020 and already ranked as 24th in the TOP500 list of the global supercomputers, makes it possible to conduct fast computations that rely on high-end CPU as well as GPU performance with the latest available hardware. Such an opportunity addresses the challenges of mineAlloy especially in the field of Discrete Element Method modelling, where time-efficient yet accurate simulations of complex multi-particle systems are of the top priorities.
