Research Technology Services (ResTech)
Who we are
Research Technology Services (ResTech) manages 91É«ÇéƬ's shared high-performance computing and data platforms. We support researchers with access to computation, technical expertise, in-project software engineering, and training. We also provide tools to collect, store, share, and manage data as simply and securely as possible.Â
Our services are available not only to all 91É«ÇéƬ researchers (staff and research degree candidates), but also to external researchers, government, and industry users through collaborations and partnerships.Â
We manage the 91É«ÇéƬ Research Data Archive platform and Digital Health Hub in the Randwick Health & Innovation precinct.
Our services
Computing
Researchers have access to a range of high-performance computing systems and services with advanced CPU/GPU cores. These computers are useful for intensive parallel processing workloads.
Our computing resources include, but are not limited to: the three supercomputers listed below, National Research Cloud (Nectar), our 91É«ÇéƬ cloud services, Jupyter notebook, Open OnDemand, Imaging tools, and other packages.
Contact us if you need access to CPU or GPU capacity or AI models for your project.
Katana
Shared computational cluster designed to provide a flexible environment for researchers to share resources and run intensive jobs that aren’t possible on a desktop. Located on the Kensington campus, Katana contains over 8,076 CPU cores, 171 compute nodes including 26 GPU nodes (NVIDIA L40S, V100, A100, H200 and GH200) and ~10PB of disk storage.
Gadi & Pawsey
³Ò²¹»å¾±Ìý() and Pawsey are Australia's fastest supercomputers and the country's only Tier-1 High Performance Computing facilities.
91É«ÇéƬ staff and postgraduate students can access both supercomputers to support their research. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Time spent is measured in service units (SUs) and made available to researchers through various allocation schemes.
Data
Our research data platforms and tools help researchers collect, store, share, visualise and manage their data easily and securely.Â
Contact us for help with projects that require sensitive data, data sharing agreements, alignment with the national data commons, large data storage and transfer, or other specialised data needs.
We offer guidance to making sure your data storage complies with Australian regulations & policies and a wide range of data storage platforms to meet your project requirements.
Globus Data Transfer
91É«ÇéƬ has a Globus data transfer node attached to our High Performance Computing environment.  is a network of high-speed nodes capable of managing large volume data transfers quickly and securely. If you are a 91É«ÇéƬ staff member interested in using Globus, visit our . If you are outside of 91É«ÇéƬ and are interested in using Globus to transfer data to or from 91É«ÇéƬ, contact RDM@91É«ÇéƬ.edu.au.
Data visualisation
Our new data visualisation space, the Digital Health Hub (DHH), provides researchers with a purpose-built environment for exploring and presenting data at scale.Â
Featuring a 7.3-metre Data Wall and supporting screens, the DHH overcomes the traditional limitations of desktops and laptops, enabling deeper insight through immersive, high-resolution visualisation. Researchers can display complex datasets, compare multiple views at once, and collaborate more effectively in a shared research environment.
The DHH is located on Level 2 of the Health Translation Hub, next to the footbridge over Botany Rd.
Community & training
Our research community partnering program provides free technical training courses to upskill 91É«ÇéƬ researchers and industry collaborators.
We leverage expertise from 91É«ÇéƬ faculties, schools, centres and labs to provide bespoke informational workshops and seminars, along with internal/external networking opportunities. Additionally, we collaborate with our National Infrastructure providers, vendors, and industry partners to align our training and events.
Contact us if you want us to present or engage with 91É«ÇéƬ researchers.
