Join this event to meet Pawsey’s visualisation team, understand the FREE services on offer to ALL Australian researchers, and meet the researchers who are already using Nebula and Topaz to visualise their scientific research and the impact it has had on their data and science.

With the increasing amount of simulation data generated by current large-scale supercomputers, visualisation plays an important role in the analysis of massive data sets.

Users who have large data sets may find it impossible to visualise their data using their laptop or other available computers they have locally, due to large RAM requirements or lack of a powerful dedicated GPU.

Crushers perform best when they have constant feed of ore flowing into them. But different types of ore take longer to crush than others, and waiting on trucks has consequences.

The same is true for the trucks delivering the ore to the crusher.

So how can you predict when the crusher is going to be ready and make sure that there is a truck waiting to deliver without the queues?

The relationships between the variables that make up an operational or production system in most mines are both many, as well as complex. As a result, it is difficult to accurately understand what drives or inhibits performance.

Deriving an optimal path forward requires a first principle mathematical representation of the operation (i.e. a simulation). Micro modelling is required to ensure accuracy, at the same time a macro perspective is also required to ensure that the operation is optimized as a whole rather than in silos. Given this, and proven through case studies: “Modelling + Analytics = Game Changer” for our clients.

Mining Plus, in collaboration with Business Science Corporation, will be sharing how we are leveraging simulation to overcome operational inefficiencies in the mining industry.

In our always-on culture we are constantly tethered to our digital devices and we leave behind a digital trail each time we are online.

Whether it is what we're looking at online, which bridges we drive over, our purchasing habits, or our profile answers on dating sites, all of this personally identifying information can be used, sold, and shared online to create an extremely detailed representation of our lives.

How can we understand how our data is collected and used - and how can we have some semblance of control with how our information is used? In this session, Leigh-Chantelle offers solutions to help understand how our digital trails are created and some of the things we can do to alleviate the harm, including how we can pause, consider, and decide to make lifelong healthy digital habits.

Investments into High Performance Computing (HPC), Quantum computing, SKA radio telescope in Perth to process and analyse data has been the talk of the town this year. The development of these cutting-edge  infrastructures & technological advancements in the fields of data science and machine learning has coincided with the largest biodiversity crisis of our times.

It is estimated that ~10 000 species go extinct every year. This increases the importance of further application of these technologies not just in business, but also in biodiversity conservation.

It seems a fair time for us to pause and ask what could be the best way to use technological innovations to stimulate a closer collaboration among conservation practitioners, animal behaviourists, biologists, computer and system scientists, and engineers.
