Keynote: Scaling -- It's all (well, quite a lot!) about the workflow

Dr Hilary Oliver, Senior Research Software Engineer at NIWA, presents 'Scaling: it's all (well, quite a lot!) about the workflow'.

In scientific computing "scaling" normally refers to large number-crunching models running efficiently in parallel on many compute nodes. After touching on this topic, Hilary will shamelessly take a much looser interpretation of the term so that he can talk about his own experience in using workflow orchestration to get better use of the hardware in a more holistic sense, and in scaling a small research software project up to a much bigger one with critical large-scale production use.
