Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) can significantly accelerate compute-intensive research, but are they a fit for your particular project?In this webinar recording, NeSI's Alexander Pletzer walks through some of the key questions that can help determine whether GPUs are among the best tool(s) for your project's needs. These questions include:

Best practices are an important means of learning through and from others. In the supercomputing community, this is equally important. Twice a year, before the two major global supercomputing conferences – SC and ISC – the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre issues a best practices newsletter with a focussed topic with input from experts around the world.

We're pleased to announce that Plant & Food Research has joined the National Data Transfer Platform.

As researchers increasingly generate and transfer data at expanding rates, NeSI, REANNZ, Globus and other partners have been responding to those needs by improving and extending the capabilities of New Zealand's National Data Transfer Platform. Below are a few recent updates on that work.

Planning for NeSI's NZ Research Software Engineering Conference 2021 (NZRSE 2021) is well underway and the Call for Submissions is now open!Themed Open Research – Workflows, Data and Communities, this year’s conference will focus on how to create effective collaboration through implemented workflows, accessible data and community-building. We welcome submissions of: 

A new $2.1 million investment announced today by New Zealand eScience Infrastructure (NeSI) will ensure the country's national research computing platforms remain responsive and high-performing to power researchers’ data-centric and data-intensive research.

The recently announced upgrade and extension of Mahuika will bring together new tools and technologies to keep pace with today's increasing diversity of research drivers, including growth in data, complexity of models, and a spread of maturity across research communities.

Despite the range of challenges 2020 presented for research community gatherings last year, NeSI's re-branding and hosting of the New Zealand Research Software Engineering (NZ RSE) Conference was a resounding success for strengthening connections between those working on the cusp of technical and research domains.
