New South Wales
University of Sydney
Artemis was the University of Sydney high-performance computer for about a decade. It was turned off in late 2025. Do not ask for an Artemis account. The university is moving people to a newer setup it calls Sydney Research Cloud, and it has announced a partnership that gives researchers access to Pawsey’s Setonix.
Artemis has been turned off
Retired. There is nothing to request.
Artemis went live in 2015, was upgraded later, and was shut down in late 2025 after supporting thousands of projects. A research-computing note has mentioned a replacement cluster called Asteria, aimed at early 2027. That name is not something you can log into now, and it should be confirmed on a public page before you cite it in a grant.
How to get it
- Do not follow old Artemis documentation. The machine is off.
- Ask Sydney research computing about Sydney Research Cloud, using your UniKey.
- Ask whether your project is covered by the Pawsey Setonix partnership announced with the Artemis farewell.
- For this week, use Nectar if your project is eligible, or Kaggle if you need a GPU before any of those accounts exist.
Nectar
Nectar local-member status was not on the list captured for this guide. A national allocation may still be possible.

Check before you rely on this
- Asteria, and the early-2027 timing, come from a University of Sydney research-computing wiki. Confirm that name on a public page before you depend on it.
- Nectar local-member status for the University of Sydney was not on the eligibility list captured for this guide. National Nectar eligibility can still apply.
