The New Zealand eScience Infrastructure (NeSI), is holding a week-long roadshow during September. Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington, Hamilton and Auckland will each be hosting a day from the 10th to the 14th. The mornings of each day will consist of a presentation about NeSI and several demonstrations of how to use its facilities. In the afternoon, the team is available for individual appointments and small group discussion on discipline-specific issues.
Full information is available via nesi.org.nz/roadshow and the attached flyer.
Who should attend?
Researchers will benefit most from attending. In particular, researchers with an interest in applying high performance computing (HPC) to their projects. Researchers at all levels at invited, including students. The event may also be of interest to technical staff, but its content is focused towards a research audience.
What will be covered?
The roadshow's primary focus will be providing information about NeSI’s HPC facilities. Accordingly, what facilities are available, how to access them and how to request support as needs arise during a project.
We will also spend some time discussing other services that are used to support its HPC. This includes its data storage, data transfer and authentication offerings.
NeSI’s Roadmap will also be featured. NeSI will be expanding its offering in future months. The roadshow will be an opportunity for you to hear first hand what has been planned so far and to gather feedback for any future revisions.

More details, including an overview of the programme, is available at nesi.org.nz/roadshow. A promotional flyer is attached that may be useful to promote the event internally. You are also welcome to contact BlueFern directly for any questions.
Looking forward to seeing you next month.
