National HPC Roadshow - September 2012

The New Zealand eScience Infrastructure (NeSI) held a National High Performance Computing (HPC) Roadshow in September. The team visited Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington, Hamilton and Auckland, spending a day at each city. The roadshow's talks are available for download. The mornings of each day consisted of presentations about NeSI and several demonstrations of how to use our HPC facilities. In the afternoon, the team were available for individual appointments and small group discussions on specific issues.
