Really nice Thesis on the current breadth of HPC tools, approaches and more: inria.hal.science/tel-05298148...

And thanks for the Mug!!! Was good fun!!

On the MBA vs MBP question, I’d go back to what you’re likely to be doing.

If it’s a travel and leisure machine with some productivity/code, the air is more than enough.

The pro is mainly for *many* external displays, or large, continuous workloads (think games, large modsim, big compile jobs)

My opinions of Microsoft being what they are (“the best thing {they} sell is Linux servers”) I’d avoid windows.

If this is a machine to play *with*, lots of Linux options.

The best is likely going to be something like a FrameWork 14-16

What are your main constraints/workloads?

My unsurprising recommendation is going to be a 12-14inch MBA. Lovely little machines with great battery life and performance that’s disproportionately good.

Will you be using it for photo editing? Or mostly browsing?

In Chicago until Wednesday, would love to say hi if anyone is around 😊

Travel is good fun when it's a meaningful experience. But it stopped being meaningful after 100 days on the road in the first 180 of the year.

I've now spent 160 days traveling for work since new years.

It's not conductive to meaningful work, let alone work I can be proud of.

Going to likely be moving back from a customer/relationship facing role, returning to actually doing engineering.

Relying/Living off of adrenaline for the last 9 months has been pushing me to be less and less effective.

I may or may not have been involved in this 😇

Going to be a really, really fun machine!

New #ISC25 podcast with Kevin Jackson on ISC highlights on connecting everything, #AI vs. #HPC? No! HPC is the Engine for AI and AI is HPC.

Precision boosting, Ultra Ethernet, Reasoning Language Models, AI applications, and Supercomputing as driver for future societies!

Very interesting to me that it will only be a 6 X increase in DGEMM.

Fugaku is famously under provisioned for low precision flops, I must wonder if this is an over correction?

This was super fun! Thanks to @nickbrown-hpc.bsky.social for the invitation and @epcc.bsky.social for hosting a lovely conference!

Was great fun teaching the @tenstorrent.bsky.social tutorial at @ieeexplore.bsky.social #CLUSTER with @fclc.bsky.social this week. And thanks Owain Kenway for finding (and fixing!) the bugs in the practical exercises ;) Great to introduce the architecture to new people!

The £750m UK Next National Supercomputer will be hosted by EPCC and is expected to launch in 2027. In his Universities UK article, EPCC Director Prof. Mark Parsons explains why supercomputers are vital for research and discovery, from designing aircraft engines to drug discovery: edin.ac/45XUwwO

Hey friends! Will be at #ieee #cluster next week in #Edinburgh hosted by @epcc.bsky.social!

Would love to say hi!

arteries, much like wine, the extra air opens it up.

Any extra CO2 would give it a more acidic flavour

I’m increasingly convinced by an argument I saw recently that LLMs are effectively power tools (apologies for not remembering the cite!):

- Incredibly useful for experts in a field that are able to correct for their errors

- Really dangerous for layfolk who don’t know what they don’t know
