New Zealand's eScience Infrastructure (formerly NeSI) has now been merged with REANNZ. Using REANNZ's platform, New Zealand researchers are able to investigate large, unique, or complex projects more easily, quickly, and accurately using National eScience Infrastructure (NeSI) specialised platform of High-Performance Computing (HPC) resources and data analytics services.

Using NeSI's HPC platform, you can:

• access CPUs, GPUs and high memory nodes on their HPC clusters
  
• work interactively using Jupyter Notebooks, containers, and virtual lab environments
• bring your own code or access NeSI's supported applications.
  

NeSI provides tools and services to help you get your data onto the HPC platform, store it close to the compute, process and analyse your datasets, visualise the results, and share it with colleagues.

The Process to Get Access

UC has a central Cloud Research Compute Fund available to fund researchers to use Cloud compute resources at NeSI and AWS.

UC academic staff, post-doctoral fellows and early career researchers at UC are eligible if:

They are the primary researcher and they have no access to grants or have insufficient funds which can be used for research compute resources. Contact the eResearch Team for more information.

To create your NeSI account, follow the instructions on the mynesi website and use your UC credentials to login when prompted through the Tuakiri page.
