Acceleration without Disruption: DFT Software as a Service Density functional theory (DFT) has been a cornerstone in computational chemistry, physics, and materials science for decades, benefiting from advancements in computational power and theoretical methods. This paper introduces a novel, cloud-native application, Accelerated DFT, which offers an order of magnitude acceleration in DFT simulations. By integrating state-of-the-art cloud infrastructure and redesigning algorithms for graphic processing units (GPUs), Accelerated DFT achieves high-speed calculations without sacrificing accuracy. It provides a user-friendly and scalable solution for the increasing demands of DFT calculations in scientific communities. The implementation details, examples, and benchmark results illustrate how Accelerated DFT can significantly expedite scientific discovery across various domains.

There are two sides to this:

As scientists, being forced to word/page limits is frustrating - we want to give reviewers the "full picture" without the imposition of artificial barriers.

As a reviewer, there is no way in hell I'm reviewing 100 70-page narratives because people can't self edit.

Because people don't like learning new things - CMake is by no means a *good* option, but it's the best of the available ones. The syntax is pretty bad, it's generally verbose and backwards compatibility is a bit tedious (which is not necessarily a bad thing, but some people whine about it)

A partner team of mine is hiring a senior engineer to help develop next-generation #HPC infrastructure in Azure. It's a great team with a great manager working on really exciting stuff, including the new custom AMD CPU with HBM Microsoft launched at SC.

Every time you call it Linux, Stallman has to shower and trim his beard - which is why he looks like this now

Thanks for doing your part.

I think the major problem is capex differential - industry spent 10x *last year* what it cost to stand up all current LCF flagships. Freeing up fab space is a tall (financial) order, and one that ASCR can't foot alone.

What's wild is that I'm pretty sure there is a "service" that produces these junk invites - I remember comparing a bunch a few years ago that showed its essentially ad-libs - grammer and all "we welcomes you to <conference> to present you're work on <some recent but unrelated paper>".
