Shits really hitting the fan.

Her uncle is on my shit list for this Christmas gift. Sophea’s cousin who lives one level below us received a drum set from the same uncle. 😑

I always look forward to the session after the Supercomputing Conference because I get to share all the stuff collected on the exhibit floor with my students. And today’s exploratory topic is High Performance Computing. Thanks to all the vendors that allowed me to grab a bunch of items

The amount virtual panhandling on Bluesky is insane. I guess no one says anything because of the context.

Be kind to the technical marketing folks who will try to reach out to you after SC (or any conference). They are just trying to do their job.

Just about enough plushies for a hug. @nextsilicon.com @hpcprogrammer.bsky.social

Came back from SC25 and see this on the dining table. My Vietnamese-Cambodian-American daughter better not be expecting us to throw her a quince!

7 papers to review!!!!!!!!!

NorthMark Cloud came out of nowhere and just showed up to SC25 with 2.8 billion dollar 400 MW “HPC” datacenter. No MPI. Just Kubernetes.

AWS x NVIDIA another queue. Super Compqueing 2025

$40 Uber to wait in line for the #2 restaurant on Yelp’s Top 100 list. They serve ramen here.

Tomorrow is the last day for the Exhibit Floor at SC25. Vendors if you got swag to gave away, I will gladly take some off your hands to share with 9th-12th graders in my STEM class on computational thinking and computer programming at George Mason University. Stickers, pens, notebooks …

SC26 full zip hoodies and tote. I had to size up on the hoody (because it goes by unisex sizing).

Review technical papers, get free SC swag

They are giving away free mac and cheese! Not part of SC. Saw a Kraft stand outside the corner of Sugarfire.

“We are the farmers market of HPC. We got variety” - @hpcprogrammer.bsky.social Things said at the Microsoft x NVIDIA Luncheon

At the SC25 Wayfinding booth. Come get your SC pins! Im gonna round up to 20. My first SC was SC05 in Seattle. I vaguely recall the Microsoft party where they served a Blue Drink out of a water cooler. Coined the Blue Drink of Death (a play on the Blue Screen of Death).

If spaghetti code was an art installation it would be the St. Louis City Museum - the location for this year’s Beowulf Bash. Kinda like a Meow Wolf.

The job queue a day before the DoD HPCMP Compute Year turns over. The job queue a day before the NERSC quarterly allocation reduction. The job queue at OLCF a day before the SC submission deadline.

I think I joined a herd of nerds walking towards the Beowulf Bash at City Museum

What my daughter will end up with today from the show-floor?

Oversubscribed

Is it me or is there a larger presence of cooling technologies on the show-floor this year?

Is it time for the Beowulf Bash yet?

I caved in. Thank you Nagoya University

Fighting the urge to grab a branded bag.

Had to rep the old F77 at the ARM booth
