QCIF holds a share of the NCI facility. This entitles QCIF members to access time on the Raijin supercomputer at the NCI and use about 3.4 million service units annually (SU, a service unit, is approximately one CPU hour). Queensland researchers can use Raijin at NCI either by applying directly to NCI for an allocation of time under the NCMAS scheme (a merit allocation scheme) or by applying for an allocation from QCIF’s partner share.
The NCMAS round for 2016 is open for applications now.
Please apply for QCIF's share via the application form on the QRIScloud portal. (Please note: if you are a first-time user of the portal, you will be asked to create an account before you can create the request).

Read more ...There's an important distinction between climate change and climate change adaptation. Research into climate change looks at questions of how the climate is changing and how this change will affect the environment. Climate change adaptation looks at how we can respond to these changes – how we can reduce the impacts of stresses on human and natural systems including our cities and regions, our agriculture and aquaculture, and the biodiversity of our environment, and how we can harness any beneficial opportunities. In other words, what should we do to prepare and adapt?
