Several sessions brought together thought and practice from national data services and infrastructures, of particular relevance to the formative National Research Data Programme in New Zealand.

NeSI’s training programme lead, Sung Bae, notes “It was overwhelming to witness all 40 seats fully booked within six hours. We noted a strong demand from the humanities and social sciences.”

"As a PhD student close to completion, the speed-up afforded by the NeSI infrastructure and the ease of migration came at a crucial time. Everything was straightforward and well-documented, and the expertise of the technical team was invaluable.”

“Without NeSI’s supercomputer, we cannot run our simulations with a sufficient resolution.”

“Jordi Blasco and the NeSI Computational Science team enabled us to achieve over 600 times improvement in the speed of the simulation workflow.”

“Without an organisation like NeSI, and the services that they provide, it is unlikely that we would have been able to advance the research methodology to a Bayesian framework."

“The high-performance computing expertise from NeSI staff was critical to seamlessly port, run, and post-process analyses, enabling my team and I to fully understand the technical aspects of this important and complicated problem.” Assoc. Prof. Bradley

“Our computational challenges were significant and required the high performance computing facilities available through NeSI.”

“My two-scale simulations could not have been performed without the use of NeSI’s HPC clusters.”
