Coming to the @hpsf.bsky.social Conference in March? I hope you will attend the Flux Framework sessions! 🌀 We will have a half day of interesting and fun talks, including an AI/ML Simulation Tutorial in Kubernetes. All sing with me now - "I like to Kube It, Kube It!"

This is the end of my dance, and the funniest part is that I turned around, and there was a family enjoying my performance. You can see my little awkward wave right at the end. 😆
I love you, I love you
And all of your pieces
❤️❤️❤️
I have no idea how hearts work. I was in the highest red zone for 20-50 minutes for a tempo or fast run just in September, and I can barely reach it now. This particular run I like to go out a few miles and turn around and pick up on the way back. 🙃
Whatever heart, you do you. 🤜 🤛
Love this song... it's so fun to dance to! 😍🚀

Friendly dinosaur reminder that life is short. Dance the 😈 out of it!
Looking for testers! 🤓 We've just put together a #Zenodo JSON validator, something the community has been wanting for years.
github.com/vsoch/zenodo...
You can use it as a standalone container or a GitHub Action. Give it a test, and please open an issue if you run into any trouble!
And some quick reflection! 🤔 Most of my longer thoughts are staying private this year. Onward to a great 2026! Thank you to everyone that makes life really special.
vsoch.github.io/2026/fifth-d...
Happy 2026! 🥳 This year I'll start the 5th decade of life, and I'm grateful. To another year of learning, growth, self-awareness and authenticity. I will continue to push myself physically and try to be assertive and kind, and place more emphasis on self-care and rest.

Happy New Year! 🎉 To celebrate, I want to share work from 2025 (Nov.) that I am most excited about continuing into 2026. We designed an agentic team to build, deploy, optimize, and scale #HPC applications in #Kubernetes. We used #Gemini and it worked remarkably well. vsoch.github.io/2025/hpc-orc....

With initiatives like the AmSC, Genesis, and the lab's NG-HPCC, it's obvious that the "HPC center of the future" is very cloud-like. What gives me pause is whether staffing and mindset are ready for a focus on infrastructure innovation. I think I saw this coming. 🙃 www.authorea.com/users/872044...

Uh, Facebook, bro, the choice of these images *together* is slightly concerning. What exactly are you saying here? 🔪🫣👁️

Happy holidays, folks! 🥞
Whether you like latkes or roast (I am privy to both) I hope you enjoy the holiday, and make time for dancing and time with friends and family. I haven't reflected fully on the year yet (still adventures to be had) but man, it was great! 🥳

When you submit your talk, make sure to select "Project Meeting: Flux" under Topic/Track.
You do *not* need to be an expert or long time user to contribute! If you have a talk related to scheduling or practical experiences that would solicit good discussion, we'd love to have you! 💙
If you care about the intersection of high performance software and open source, we are pleased to announce that #FluxFramework will have a project meeting at the @hpsf.bsky.social 2026 Conference next year! Please respond to the CFP to be a part of it!
events.linuxfoundation.org/hpsf-confere...
And please engage with us! We are joining #HPSF soon and looking to grow the community and provide support to our users. We need to understand use cases and what folks are looking for. We will best figure this out if you ask questions, and tell us what you need. 🙏
16.12.2025 17:56 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0We are getting a lot of questions about #FluxFramework! 🎉 If you are new to the project, this is the right one: flux-framework.org. You can most quickly get to the devs via an issue on flux-core on GitHub, or ping us in the hpc.social slack or here. ☎️
Let us know the questions you have! 🤓
Google Photos made an end of year video, but it was bad. I made my own. This year was about adventure, pushing limits, and growth. This is a small glimpse of my experiences. Thank you to all the people that have supported me and filled this year with so much joy... encore! 🥳

And a fun Easter egg! At the SC Gelato Club event in a group picture www.linkedin.com/feed/update/... I'm looking down at something. That something is the HPC social sticker, our retro 80's and ninja turtle inspired dinosaur! I was lost in my head for a second enjoying his sparkle. ✨
Thank you! 🙏
The automation is neat - filling out a web form opens a GitHub issue. A maintainer can label the issue with "approve-event" and it triggers a workflow that updates and deploys the calendar and closes the issue.
Please provide discussion and feedback here 👉 github.com/hpc-social/h....
We've just updated the hpc.social events calendar and feed, and we are looking for event contributions and feedback.

Strength of the body extends to the mind, and our daily work. If we learn to push our physical limits and embrace discomfort, our relative perception of what is hard completely changes.
I am absolutely certain that nerds rule the world! 🤓
It is the greatest form of expression! 🥰
If we only live once we should find joy in work, support those we care about, emanate laughter, run hard, bike far, and push ourselves to be stronger and more kind, and dance the $#%! out of it all! 😎
There are things to regret. Dancing is not one of them.
Affirmation! 🙌
Another 1990s throwback - jamming while driving with imaginary drums. I'm actually not sure about the year - the song came out in 1999, so likely this was within a few years of that. This is dedicated to my Dad. Many good memories to this song. 🥰

Would it really be a proper Monday without some terrible, extraordinarily fun dancing? 🪩

Happy Monday everyone! 😘
We used state machines to orchestrate a complex #HPC workload in #Kubernetes, and performed a Usability study across #Azure, #GoogleCloud, and #AWS with over 28K CPU and 256 GPU that resulted in over 26K datasets!

Will be presented at #SC25.
Felt like noodle dancing today - throw back to 1999 and Lou Bega! 🙌

Belated Halloween Dance! 🎃
This is the first time that I've ever attempted this dance - I've seen it enough times that I got the general gist! But let's be real, it's terrible. 😄 I guess I don't care, because I had fun. Happy belated Halloween!
This is a progressive tempo run, where you start easily and go up to a comfortably fast pace. There is something to say about strength (of heart and muscle) per unit of body weight! I can't win otherwise. 😆
