Webinar: High performance modelling -- One researcher’s journey

For November’s edition of NeSI’s training webinar series, we host Dr. Cyprien Bosserelle, a hydrodynamics modeller at NIWA who has a particular research interest in processes related to inundation, coastal hazards and the simulation of these processes with numerical models.

In this webinar, Cyprien will talk about the development of his inundation model and his journey predicting and visualising inundation patterns using NeSI’s HPC Platform. These visualisations often play an important role in hazard assessments and forecasting, but can be challenging to generate with traditional software. To overcome the challenge, Cyprien worked with NeSI’s Computational Science team to create a more rapid rendering of model variables and, ultimately, achieve better visualisations!

Come along to see what a researcher / NeSI collaboration can look like and if it is something that could raise your research to the next level. In his talk, Cyprien will highlight:

• The importance of pre-consultation discussion,  
• What was done during his consultancy with NeSI and how it worked out, and
• The unexpected benefits of the NeSI project. 

Following Cyprien’s presentation, Chris Scott from NeSI’s Computational Science team will describe how NeSI can offer support to researchers, such as assisting with code optimisation, parallelisation, porting to GPUs, custom code development and many other tasks. We’ll then open up the floor for discussion and questions. If you think you or a colleague could benefit from working with NeSI’s Computational Science team, we encourage you to come along! All are welcome.

Prerequisites:
There are no prerequisites for this session and you don't need to be an existing NeSI user in order to attend. Anyone/everyone is welcome to learn more about how NeSI can offer support to researchers.
