Are your data analyses crawling along on your personal computer? Ready to free up your workstation while accelerating your research? This workshop introduces New Zealand researchers to powerful computing solutions that can transform your analytical capabilities. Join us for a practical overview of cloud computing and High-Performance Computing (HPC) resources available nationwide, essential research computing concepts for researchers at any technical level, and hands-on introductions to Virtual Machines, Jupyter notebooks, and parallel processing techniques. We'll also cover specific pathways and services for University of Auckland researchers. Learn how to move beyond the limitations of your desktop and leverage institutional computing resources that can dramatically reduce processing time and expand your research possibilities. Suitable for researchers across all disciplines who work with computationally demanding data or models.
