Both cloud computing and high-performance computing (HPC) provide powerful computing, but they serve different needs.
HPC facilities, like the National Computational Infrastructure and the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre, are designed for massive or parallel processing tasks. Examples include running weather simulations over a few hours or days.
In contrast, ARDC’s cloud services are ideal for scalable, on-demand and interactive computational tasks. Examples include hosting online data portals and interactive data analysis.
