Turn research into reality

James Shepherd wanted to reduce the turnaround time for processing his data, so he applied for a Consultancy project with NeSI research software engineers.

“I will now be able to make better maps of environmental variables, and hence much better models of species distributions."

"Extensive use of NeSI’s HPC resources helped QuakeCoRE to produce world-class research output, which made our research internationally visible."

"NeSI experts introduced new technical ideas and tools which we will use and implement elsewhere."

“NeSI was great. The team was really excited to help us out. It felt like they were part of our research team, not just people we were asking to work for us. They got their heads into it.”

"The help that we received from this NeSI consultancy project was crucial to our research project."

"NeSI has helped us efficiently build a large repository of climate model data from research institutes around the world, which we can now share and analyse in a local supercomputing environment. "

"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."
