We did not run with all the nodes. Not sure why TOP500 decided to list all the nodes. When we have a little bit of time again we’ll inquire…

For most that missed the #ISC25 Flux Framework Tutorial, we just posted our slides online:

Thank you to those that attended, and see you next time! 👋

Are there health studies being done on people who have/had multiple different cancers? My step dad was just diagnosed with his fourth different cancer.

Let's get some other suspected HPC gurus in here and set the record for the most bluffs

Oh shit. I just realised no - it really is. I thought I was joking. This is going to require a long and complex backstory. Sorry absolutely not sorry it'll be funny maybe but also you'll learn something.

It was a bunch of PlayStation 3s. Super cool system!

This is a correct use of the definition of the word "DOGE" meaning "to fuck something up arbitrarily, indiscriminately, and without reason."

That having been said, please view the request from @benanhalt at this link, who got DOGE'd from his job at the USDA and has skills to bring to the table […]

Jorge beat me to the punch on asking about the flops.

I agree with the numbers though. Sans potential tarrifs. Seems like 300-500 * any tarrifs increase.

Hey folks! Will be talking about the wonderful, wacky world of floating point Sunday afternoon in the HPC, Big data, & Data science dev room at 15:30!

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Tiny Linux kernel tweak could cut datacenter power use by 30%, boffins say Not bad for 30 lines of code Hardware keeps getting faster, but it's still worth taking a step back periodically and revisiting your code. You might just uncover a little tweak that wrings out more efficiency or extra throughput than you'd expect.…

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it.

It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

Submit to speak at the very-first HPSF Conference in Chicago this May 💬 The call for proposals is open!

I just nominated you. I think you’ll do great!

I want a huge <insert HPC logo> right across the rear end.

I realized this morning that I can almost dress entirely in HPC vendor branded clothing. I have storage vendor socks and GPU vendor shirts. Unrealized marketing potential in HPC pants!

I see it a lot in the gaming industry. Incredibly talented devs who care so much but are told to do certain things that they don’t like/don’t agree with.

Thanks! I’ll take a look.

I haven’t heard anything about AMDs. What was terrible?

MI300X vs H100 vs H200 Benchmark Part 1: Training – CUDA Moat Still Alive Intro SemiAnalysis has been on a five-month long quest to settle the reality of MI300X. In theory, the MI300X should be at a huge advantage over Nvidia’s H100 and H200 in terms of specifications an…

This article may have already circulated and I missed it, but another interesting write up about AMDs software continuing to hinder their hardware semianalysis.com/2024/12/22/m...

An altered bluesky DM inbox screencap. There are three messages. The first two from predictably botlike scantily clad ladies, Alice and Sandra. Their messages read Hello my baby & Hello my honey The third is from Michigan J Frog, his cartoon pfp as you'd imagine, tophat in hand. His message reads Hello my ragtime gal.

Wow, what are the odds?!

Do I know any design-y minded folks that might be interested in a OSS contribution by way of a cute lil logo for lustre 👀🥺

Mini thread on developer trust for #AMD.

Effectively: the default assumption for AMD is that the stack will be broken.

The community tried to help, but as Dave Airlie said years ago “throwing source code over the fence doesn’t make you FOSS”

#HPC #ROCm

I didn’t know this. Especially that second part. Holy crap

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed.

The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

I'll get straight to the point.

We trained 2 new models. Like BERT, but modern. ModernBERT.

Not some hypey GenAI thing, but a proper workhorse model, for retrieval, classification, etc. Real practical stuff.

It's much faster, more accurate, longer context, and more useful. 🧵

1. C (but really the wrappers around C 😀)
2. Yes
3. They pay me (I get paid to use it since I help manage it)
4. A

I thought released meant published in a series of mostly incoherent tweets that are then later deleted and apologized for
