The chicken dinners at Hodak's are no joke

Join me at our networking reception at SC25 Tuesday night to help make SC week the best combination of fun, relaxing, informative, useful, insightful, etc. - for me and for you 😁 Register here - aka.ms/microsoftamd...

#SC25 Food Notes (walking distance from convention center) BBQ === Pappy’s Smokehouse (~ 0.8 mi) Sugarfire Smoke House (~ 0.1 mi) Salt + Smoke BBQ (~ 0.4 mi) The Stellar Hog (~ 1.6 mi) Bogart’s Smokehouse (~ 1.2 mi)

No work. No problem. The Happiest Place on Earth if you ignore the news for the last 19 days.

Already got some recos for BBQ in STL!

So what happens if the government shutdown looms into mid/late November? Does that mean no government labs at SC this year?

My halloween costume came in. My daughter was not happy that I got a lot of attention dressed as an inflatable Olaf last year. So I decided to change it up this year. Was not at the top of my list but no one seems to be selling an inflatable Pandy Paw costume for adults - yet.

I will be attending the Supercomputing conference this year in St. Louis. If there any colleagues in HPC or former Gordon research group members who would like to get together for lunch during SC - please shoot me a message so that we can plan something. Very curious how the BBQ is in the STL.

When does #HPC bsky starts popping? We are a little over two months away from SC25!

Career Day at the Early Identification Program at George Mason University. Thanks to all the vendors from Supercomputing who allowed me to grab a bunch of their schwag.

Debating on this idea of visiting St. Louis, MO a week before SC to do a food vlog.

🚀 The Solution Every Computational Chemist Has Been Waiting For What if you could install GAMESS in under 5 minutes and start running quantum chemistry calculations immediately? For over 40 years, installation nightmares have stolen days of research time.

Hear me out: An open-source LLM-based Static Application Security Testing (SAST) for legacy programming languages.

This year I decided to load the nine SC25 technical papers I was assigned to review into Speechify to give my eyes a break from reading. Technical paper review is much more fun when Snoop Dog, Gwyneth Paltrow, or Obama is reading it to you. One area where Speechify fails is with math equations.

Anyone else get selected for the (Savannah) Banana Ball Lottery for the games taking place in Washington D.C.? Curious what the earliest time slot is so I can determine if my time slot will give me a chance at any tickets.

I better be getting more than a free hoody if I gotta review 9-10 technical papers for SC!

I've published some notes I took while at #gtc25 last week. Have a look: https://blog.glennklockwood.com/2025/03/gtc-2025-recap.html Part of why I write is to foster discussion, and I'd love to hear or read others' takes on the conference! #ai

Finally figured out the necessary workflow!

I've been collecting guidance, documents, examples for open-source software projects, such as on governance, code of conduct, licenses, etc. in github.com/corsa-center.... Now I would like to add sustainability plans. What projects have good plans? Or even guides about how to write one.
