NeSI Case Study Brendon Bradley QuakeCORE

Simulating earthquakes for a safer future

We understand the basic physics, but the complexity is such we can’t use intuition to understand these problems. To understand and quantify these phenomena, we need to throw a supercomputer at them.”

NeSI Case Study Timothy Bilton Ken Dodds AgResearch

Optimising tools used for genetic analysis

“NeSI helped our team profile our code to detect inefficiencies and helped improve our code, allowing us to run our analyses faster.”

NeSI Case Study Daniel White

Controlling invasive predators with local research

“The support at NeSI has been great. If I had a problem with software running, or need a new program installed, they were there. It’s saved a lot of time.”

NeSI Case Study Blair Blakie

Bose Einstein condensate may reveal supersolid’s secrets

There have been several experimentalists that claim to have observed the supersolid state, but none of the experiments have been clear enough to make the claim unequivocal.

Bridging gaps and building collaborations within NZ research communities

NeSI's new Research Communities Advisor is aiming to connect researchers with digital resources and services that can help advance their projects.
NeSI Case Study David Coppin University of Auckland

Tracking coastal precipitation systems in the tropics

"The new code implemented is much faster and runs more efficient on NeSI platforms, which allows me to concentrate more on my research and less on computer science aspects."

Annika Seppala NeSI case study climate simulations

Powering global climate simulations

"The fact that NeSI can provide support to things like getting the code to work puts New Zealand in an amazing position worldwide.”

Andrew Chen NeSI case study image processing

Supporting new innovations in image processing

“Having access to NeSI computing resources means that we can keep up with the state-of-the-art research in this area, otherwise we simply would not be able to run our code in a reasonable time.”
