Mahuika Extension (2022)

In late 2022, the Mahuika HPC cluster was extended to allow a wider range of research communities to adopt HPC approaches and build digital skills within their research teams.

Designed with a reduced carbon footprint in mind, the extension included:

• Upgraded CPU nodes, based on AMD EPYC Milan architecture, to keep pace with ongoing growth in data, complexity of models, and a spread of computational maturity across research communities.
• NVIDIA A100 Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) cards, paired with specialised software and tools for machine learning, to support more analysis at scale.
• Specialised high-memory capabilities, to allow rapid simultaneous processing for faster results and insights.

Flow Cytometry Facility

This facility houses two flow systems, a cell sorter and an analyser.

Cytek Aurora CS cell sorter

The Cytek Aurora CS Cell Sorter is a spectral sorter that detects the full spectrum of emitted light, which enables a large number of parameters to be assessed simultaneously. It is contained inside a Class II Biosafety cabinet, which protects both the user and the sample. https://bpb-ap-se2.wpmucdn.com/blogs.auckland.ac.nz/dist/7/1134/files/2026/01/Cytek-Aurora-CS-cell-sorter.pdf
