What are you doing exactly (don't feel obliged to answer if you want to stay anonymous)? Are you managing a kind of HPC facility in New Zealand? (I now know you are based in New Zealand. ;) )
A facility with 30k core could be quite useful for heavy theoretical computations such as those related to the LHC studies I am involved in. In fact, the cluster I use is probably similar in order of magnitude (in terms of total amount of cores, although I am not allowed to use it entirely).
I thought the Computing Grid was the one supported by BOINC. But looking now at it, I can see it's a collaboration of institutions. Didn't recall about that, Nice... would be super cool to see LHC stuff reaching New Zealand for collaborations of computing resources if that is a place to happen... I need to talk with some people apparently.
In fact I have checked and found this. It seems several institutions from New Zealand are part of the CMS collaboration. You can also check out this page. You can even found lists of names
Let me know if you have any leads on something that would be interested in this part of the world. Work or non-work related.
If you are interested in the kind of calculations we do, maybe having a look at the #citizenscience tag could be a great starting point. I run a small citizen science project here on chain, and we will soon enter a heavy computation phase.
If something I am not anymore is that. =) I am just an engineer.
Let's put it, that I can be found =) But yeah, it's not news that I am in NZ. Not even that I know about HPC now how to read many languages or know about blockchain.
But I am Portuguese and I can read French! Also not classified =)
NDA's only for the future that will torment us all and its still inside our planet =)
I will quark things up when possible ... I will check. Thank you!
