Webinar:Using GPUs Effectively-Tips & Tricks for Maximising Research Impact

Join us for a focused 1 hour webinar on how to make the most of GPU computing for research.

GPUs have the potential to significantly accelerate your work—enabling faster results, larger models, and entirely new research questions. Achieving these benefits depends on choosing the right hardware and using it efficiently.

In this session, we’ll provide a practical overview of GPU use on the REANNZ Mahuika HPC platform, including how to select the most appropriate GPU for your workload and how to optimise performance through testing and profiling.

What you’ll learn:

• When and why to use GPUs (vs CPUs) in research
• Overview of available GPU hardware (H100, A100, L4) and how to choose between them
• Key considerations such as VRAM, precision requirements, and job characteristics
• Practical techniques for testing, profiling, and improving GPU utilisation
• Real-world insights from a researcher using GPUs in their work

This webinar is ideal for researchers currently using GPUs and looking to optimise performance. Anyone interested in understanding available GPU resources and capabilities is also welcome to attend!

Whether you're running machine learning workflows, simulations, or data-intensive analyses, this session will equip you with actionable strategies to maximise your research impact.
