SCA25
10-13 March 2025
Singapore
The SCA conference is an annual international HPC event that encompasses an umbrella of notable supercomputing and allied events in Asia. Established in 2018, the conference is co-organised by HPC centres from Australia, Japan, Singapore, and Thailand and has become a key networking and collaboration platform for the regional and global supercomputing community. The event attracts HPC thought leaders, decision-makers, academics, multinational corporations, commercial partners, and industry professionals.
Since its inception in 2018, SCA has traditionally been held in Singapore, serving as a vital meeting point for the global supercomputing community in Asia. However, in a momentous move, the 2024 edition took place in Sydney, Australia, marking a significant expansion of its reach. Looking ahead, the co-organisers are committed to further broadening the event’s impact across Asia.
Rebranded from the Supercomputing Frontiers (SCF) / National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) Singapore Awards originating from the third annual SCF High-Performance Computing (HPC) conference in 2017, the SCA Awards was given its new name during the inception of SCA18. This prestigious accolade honours pioneers, trailblazers and thought leaders who have significantly shaped Asia’s HPC ecosystem. By celebrating their contributions, the SCA Awards not only acknowledges their achievements but also serves as a beacon of inspiration for emerging researchers and practitioners, catalysing continued innovation and excellence in the field.
The international Data Mover Challenge (DMC), a key event of the SCA conference series, is a competition that is run once every 2 years and it aims to bring together experts from industry and academia in a bid to test their software and solutions for transferring huge amounts of research data. DMC seeks to challenge international teams to come up with the most advanced and innovative solutions for data transfer across servers located in various countries that are connected by 100Gbps international research and education networks.
The technical conference is held in conjunction with the SCA conference. It provides a platform for thought leaders from both academia and industry to present their research as well as discuss visionary ideas, global trends and the latest innovations across Applications, Algorithms & Libraries, Architecture, Network / Communication & Management, Data, Storage & Visualization and Programming & System Software.
The National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) Singapore was established in 2015 to manage Singapore’s national petascale facilities and high-performance computing (HPC) resources. As a National Research Infrastructure funded by the National Research Foundation (NRF), the HPC resources that we provide helps support the research needs of the public and private sectors, including research institutes, institutes of higher learning, government agencies and companies. With the support of our stakeholders, NSCC catalyses national research and development initiatives, attracts industrial research collaborations and enhances Singapore’s research capabilities.
