The National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) is paying 600 million baht to buy the most efficient supercomputer in Southeast Asia, with the aim of boosting science and technology in line with the bio-, circular and green (BCG) economic model.
Anek Laothamatas, the minister of higher education, science, research and innovation, said the supercomputer, which is expected to start operations by the end of 2022, is important for Thailand in terms of national disaster predictions and forecasts.
“The supercomputer will strengthen Thailand’s position in high-performance computing [HPC] and research capabilities in Asean,” said Narong Sirilertworakul, president of the NSTDA.
