The "Elevators" are a technical marvel, given they were built in the 1960s. Surely one of the strangest elevators on the planet.

Are you in St. Louis this week for #SC25? Don't forget that you can go up "in" the arch! A pretty unique experience you shouldn't miss! #HPC

I will drive on Saturday, the first ever SC I can easily drive to.

Let me know if you make it and we can get together for a coffee. If not, send me a DM and I am happy to schedule a call if you would like more info.

Elias Werner and I explored what a software chatbot looks like on an #HPC Desktop. The goal was to explore the user actions enabled by a chatbot running as a native application.
@scadsai.bsky.social is holding a SofaTalk at #SC25 booth 513 on Tuesday, 1pm to talk about LLMs and chatbots in HPC.

Secure and Scalable: The Case for the HPC Desktop In October 2025, I gave a talk about the HPC Desktop Concept at Oak Ridge National Lab. I had given a similar talk at the HPC-AI Advisory Council meeting earlier in the year and at the University of D...

I published my first LinkedIn article, where I am reflecting on the #HPC Desktop and how I presented it at Oak Ridge National Lab two weeks ago. It even contains a call to action. 😁 If you are going to #SC25, I would love to chat about the #HPCDesktop.

I had an outstanding visit to ORNL last week to present the #HPC Desktop concept. Big thanks to Jeffrey Vetter, Pedro Valero-Lara and William F. Godoy for organizing and being great hosts! DM if you would like to learn more about the #HPCDesktop, happy to chat at #SC25 or Zoom.

I am excited to give a talk at Oak Ridge National Laboratory next week. I will be talking about my favorite topic, making #HPC systems easier to use and providing researchers with tools that help them get more science done. #HPCDesktop.

I was asked if my #HPC object browser can run in JupyterLab. So Cursor/Sonnet 4.5 got to work and transformed the QT5 app into a JupyterLab extension. I am really impressed, most of the UI features work the same way in JupyterLab as they do in the QT5 version. It took not even an hour to convert! 🀯

After showing last week (bsky.app/profile/robe...) how to monitor job resources in #Slurm, the logical next step is to enable job submission. The video shows how to submit an interactive job in any partition by simply right-clicking the partition. The #HPC object browser is evolving nicely. πŸ˜€

To be perfectly clear, I would have killed for a tool like this when I got started in HPC way back. ;-) As a novice HPC user, wrapping your head around unattended job execution is hard and we "old folks" don't appreciate enough how hard it is.

I integrated a tool that shows resource usage of running #Slurm jobs, if you are allowed to ssh into the running job. It’s not a core part of the #HPC object browser, but seems pretty useful, especially for β€œnew to HPC” folks. Short demo video below.

I added an object-class-specific details view to the #HPC objects browser. The view is customizable with templates and can pull in instance attributes of objects. (HTML + Jinja2). Development is progressing nicely and it's fun to explore this! 😊 Here is a video showing #Slurm partitions and jobs.

Here is a short video on how to get started with the #HPC object browser and the #Slurm provider. I am looking for feedback how the tool works in your environment. Give it a try and let me know. github.com/RobertHensch...
