High Performance Computing workshop presentations
High performance computing (HPC) has been flagged as an urgent need in New Zealand to raise the productivity of science and technology research.
HPC needs vary across the sector, and investment is required to enable a step forward in providing for these needs. MoRST hosted a forum for people with interests in high performance computing on 22 January 2009.
Five people presented, representing various interests, followed by free discussion. Download their presentations and summary notes below.
