“NeSI is an amazing resource for the New Zealand science community. Not only is our dream to unchain the structure of cellulose within reach, it looks like we will be able to achieve it more smartly and quickly than ever.”

"Access to the increased computing capacity of the NeSI supercomputers facilitated Dr Sibaev's research by speeding up the rate at which he was able to generate the data required for his project."

"We are very grateful to NeSI for the use of Blue Gene and the supporting team. Thanks to their generosity, we were able to develop a culture of supercomputing and parallel programming at the University of Canterbury."

"This is a classic example of the huge advances that are being achieved through our excellent collaboration with NeSI."

"Today on NeSI’s Pan cluster, a highly detailed model can define a star's entire evolution in about five minutes."

“By using NeSI's resources we were able to simultaneously use almost a thousand cores, which enabled us to complete the work in a fraction of the time it would've taken using only local resources.”

"Prompt responses from the NeSI team to our requests helped us solve our problems in a few minutes, which in turn allowed us to focus on scientific research rather than on dealing with technical issues."

"Our algorithm is designed to take advantage of parallelism. Running the algorithm on many parallel nodes would have been impossible without the NeSI cluster.”

“We were able to calculate radial velocities for all our 50,000 observations within about a week – a task that would have otherwise taken several months of computational time.”

Through an extensive series of computational simulations and analysis on NeSI’s Pan and Foster systems, Dr Krista G. Steenbergen and Dr Nicola Gaston have recently unlocked the secret to greater- than-bulk melting of gallium nanoclusters.
