Same. Not even close.

My 13yo showed me this passage in a book he was reading the other day. My response: "yeah, I've got one of those (blades) in my office". 😄

Yeah, this has been a go-to for years. Becoming especially important lately trying to find facts in the AI hype cycles.

Two Types of Knowledge: The Max Planck/Chauffeur Test Charlie Munger identifies the two types of knowledge and shows us how to distinguish between those with Chauffeur knowledge and those with Planck knowledge.

The only office in the Twin Cities was for educational software and Office trainings, last I looked.

That would have been super valuable

The extra fun trivia is that I posted that message while sitting at the project kick-off meeting in Tokyo. :-)

That's a DFMA target number. Not GEMM.

To be chosen to participate in the design of the next iteration is a massive honor for us.

Through this partnership, we aim to develop a scientific discovery ecosystem based on the full integration of simulation and AI. We hope this work will benefit not only Japan, but also researchers worldwide.

RIKEN, Japan’s Leading Science Institute, Taps Fujitsu and NVIDIA for Next Flagship Supercomputer Japan is once again building a landmark high-performance computing system — not simply by chasing speed, but by rethinking how technology can best serve the nation’s most urgent scientific needs. At t...

Those who have been around #HPC a while know the historical significance (and probably the names) of Japan's flagship supercomputers. They always push the boundaries of technology, but in ways that are driven uniquely by the needs of Japan.

Those numbers were from their feasibility study and not necessarily where the design will land.

Applications Now Open for $60,000 NVIDIA Graduate Fellowship Awards The NVIDIA Graduate Fellowship Program provides grants, mentors and technical support to doctoral students doing outstanding research relevant to NVIDIA technologies. The application deadline for the ...

For PhD students in my network, NVIDIA is now accepting applications for our graduate fellowship program. If you are working on topics across AI, life sciences, healthcare and HPC - consider applying.

Not enough parallelism to saturate either.

For some reason, my three day weekends don't produce things like this...

Just confirming - despite the best efforts of the Minnesota Twins front office, I was *not* traded to Philidelphia this week. #Twins

Congrats, Glenn! Hope you enjoy the new gig! 🥳

I, too, was once highlighted by DCD once on a move (to Azure).

Enjoy the ego stroke 😁

This is a well-known Minnesota-ism, so I've been polluted from birth.

If it makes you feel better, it bugs the heck out of my wife.

Can I come with?

Book title page: "The Preparation of Programs for an Electronic Digital Computer" by Maurice V. Wilkes, David J. Wheeler, and Stanley Gill. 1951

Among his many firsts: authorship of the first book about software.

Having watched engineers do the hybrid HPL run on Trinity, you should be sure to give anyone who attempts it lots of love (and a raise 😄)

There are none installed so the numbers would be the same. 😋 Once they come, they could try to do a hybrid run, but it would be an enormous pain to do and not much upside.

If only there was a project that experimented with cell phone chips as supercomputers, where we could learn about this!

I mean, it was a decade long and even European!

I lost mine 🙁

Same here. I came to social media to try to teach people things once in a while. You've always been happy to amplify whomever is helping others grow.
#IamHPCGuru should be a rallying cry for giving new points of view a fair shake.

I think the best warmup for #ISC25 is a leisurely stroll through the botanical gardens across the plaza from CCH.

NERSC Science Acceleration Program for Doudna Calls for Proposals - NERSC: National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center The National Energy Research Scientific Computing (NERSC) Center is inviting users to apply to the NERSC Science Acceleration Program (NESAP), an opportunity to shape the future of computational scien...

This is a great article that explains the philosophical innovations behind NERSC’s new supercomputer: science is not just about batch jobs anymore. Draw the good ideas from AI infra advances into #HPC as possible. Definitely worth reading.

Also, they’re using GPFS instead of Lustre(!)
