Australian Partnership for Advanced Computing


The Australian Partnership for Advanced Computing was an Australian organisation established in 1998 to provide advanced computing and grid infrastructure for Australian research communities. APAC was established under the Systemic Infrastructure Initiative objective of the Australian Government's Backing Australia's Ability innovation plan. The Australian National University was the host institution for APAC.
In 2007, APAC was replaced by the Platforms for Collaboration capability 5.16 of the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy. The APAC National Facility was replaced with the National Computational Infrastructure component of PfC. The APAC Grid program was replaced with the Interoperation and Collaboration Infrastructure component of PfC.
