"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."

“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."

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

"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."

GNS Science researchers are producing detailed images of the 3D structure and geometry of the Hikurangi mega-thrust region using a technique called seismic tomography.

“By understanding the abundance and distribution of different marine mammals in New Zealand, we can inform conservation policy, management of marine resources, licensing for offshore activity and create better environmental impact assessments.”
