Chief Executive's Message

Since its establishment in 2015, the National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) Singapore has been at the forefront of providing supercomputing resources to support Singapore’s research ecosystem. Our nation’s continued investment in high-performance computing (HPC) has positioned NSCC Singapore to play a crucial role in powering Singapore’s R&D needs and driving our Research, Innovation, and Enterprise (RIE) efforts.

We are proud to have supported research in critical areas such as genetics, advanced simulations, digital twins, and climate change. A prime example of the importance of sovereign supercomputing resources is the Third National Climate Change Study (V3) report. Leveraging the computational power secured by NSCC Singapore, the V3 report provides critical insights into the implications and potential mitigations of climate change topics, including future sea level rise, water resource dynamics, and global warming.

As technology continues to advance, especially in the field of AI science, more compute power will be needed to keep Singapore competitive on the global stage. NSCC Singapore is already deploying some of the latest computational resources and chips to support significant efforts in Large Language Models (LLMs) and other AI research areas.

Over the next few years, we will continue to expand our HPC capacity while optimizing and prioritizing national HPC resources to support impactful and nationally significant research. NSCC Singapore will expand its capabilities beyond supercomputing infrastructure to advanced HPC research and operations, accelerating research innovation while ensuring cost-effective and eco-friendly use of HPC resources. We will also explore, develop and offer emerging technologies such as quantum and hybrid computing.

I would like to express my gratitude to our academic and industry partners for their invaluable contributions to the development of the HPC ecosystem. As we embark on the exciting journey ahead, we anticipate a HPC-driven transformation in the way we do research and innovation that will deliver exceptional economic impact and social good. We are committed to this vision and look forward to your continued support in this endeavour.
