"Before NeSI helped with this project, I was facing cases where I could not compute all the diagnostics required in a realistic time frame and therefore this consultancy has made possible what was simply impossible before."

"They’ll fire it off to Mahuika and we’ll have a result back the next morning. In the past, this could have taken us a week or more."

"To create the map caches for one of our tools would take about a month of continuous processing."

"With HPC and molecular dynamics software, it’s a lot faster and more user-friendly, both factors that will continue to be more valuable to labs in the future."

“NeSI staff provided critical help at a critical time."

"These calculations create a large number of files; NeSI was able to store these files and help us navigate them."

“I think that was quite helpful for students in that they were learning transferable skills that weren’t just around HPC and the data space, but were skills they could offer a PhD group."

"Without NeSI’s input, we would have been much more limited. We wouldn’t have been able to develop a national-scale system running in real-time."

Together, NeSI and Genomics Aotearoa have the domain knowledge, technical skills, and motivation to address the skills gap facing New Zealand’s genomics and bioinformatics sector.

"Rendering this grid in the traditional way is not trivial – it would take longer to render the result than run the model each time I wanted to find errors. I approached NeSI and we started talking about visualisation."
