Ha, I am featured on the #ISC25 registration page along with a bunch of my favorite Microsoft colleagues. I wonder if I can cash this in for a discount on registration. Sadly, it's mostly the side of my head that is featured. @karlpodesta.bsky.social should probably get the bigger discount.

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

Simulations are crucial for modern product development, but managing them can be complex. This blog explores SimOps, a framework designed to make your simulation workflows smoother and more efficient. Read on to learn more!

I just made my first YouTube video showing off the new MATLAB extension for Visual Studio Code www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWRP... Waaaay out of my comfort zone here! Maybe like and subscribe to help me feel better? ;)

Finally! I get it when people say that AI can be used for automation. I just used gpt-4o-mini, aider and PowerShell to rewrite 700+ of my tests. foreach ($test in $tests) { aider --message "$prompt" --file $test.FullName --model azure/gpt-4o-mini --no-stream } #OpenAI #aider #PowerShell

Woohoo! Decisions have been made on the @fosdem.bsky.social'25 HPC, Big Data & Data Science DevRoom talks and the schedule is beginning to populate at fosdem.org/2025/schedul... for what will eventually be a full day of talks in Brussels Sunday 2 February 2025 with recording and streaming available.

Sometimes you get a good boss. If you get one, appreciate them. We have regular “Connect” reviews, and my boss takes them seriously. He rejected mine last week and redlined it. I was upset, then fixed and returned it. He was right, and the changes set me up for success. Darn it for being right lol.

Yes, Quantum MPI was a thing, even at #SC21 with @microsoft.com. arxiv.org/abs/2105.01109 Better late than never ;-).

The next episode of our Scott and Mark Learn To podcast series is out. In this one, we learn how to...take a dump!

Really interesting interactive visualization and demonstration of how Large Language Models (LLMs) work. These form the basis of technologies such as ChatGPT. bbycroft.net/llm 🧪

Part of my “new” job (#azure #batch #HPC) means I come to the Dublin office a lot more (i.e. “at all”). It’s a pretty nice place, and pretty busy today - there’s an all hands and a Christmas party. I can feel the buzz! Almost 4000 people work across whole site. People! #microsoftlifeireland

I spent the Thanksgiving break typing up my notes from #SC24 which I've posted online. 30% more words than my notes from SC23 (sorry!). Feedback is welcome! https://buff.ly/41fBhho #HPC

We could not have articulated it better. In our view EasyBuild or Spack are not good enough anymore. They’re both essential tools, and will remain so going forward, but we need to take the next step and go beyond them, and collaborate even more on a shared stack of software *installations*. #HPC

I love this write up. Not least for the references to (& photo of!) Bill Gates at SC05, almost 20 years ago, showing off a #windows #hpc capability that somewhat lives in my current group at work :-)

Thank you for the shout out @underfox3.bsky.social. Thomas Jakobsche - the lead author and my soon to graduate PhD student will be happy to learn about it. @dmi-hpc.bsky.social #HPC #Security @unibasel.bsky.social

New supercomputer, new record-breaking HACC run. This job ran a single job over 9,000 nodes on Frontier—an impressive feat, and a proof point that Frontier is prime time. https://buff.ly/3CRqMH1 #HPC

Call for proposals for the HPC, Big Data, and Data Science devroom at the #FOSDEM’25 open source “conference” taking place in Brussels during the weekend of 1-2 Feb 2025 is still open! hpc-bigdata-fosdem25.github.io Submission deadline Sunday 1 Dec 2024. #HPC community: help us spread the word!

The #HPC starter pack has been used by many people new to BlueSky who want to immediately start following a decent cross-section of the HPC community go.bsky.app/7NSBuP1

I enjoy these live learning sessions with two of Microsoft’s most entertaining (techie!) celebrities.

The #azure section here makes a great call out for some relevant #HPC things not mentioned by Microsoft at #SC24! In particular: - Da/Ea/Fa v6 VMs - Spot placement score - Attribute VM select in Fleet But also missed: - ND GB200 v6 VM release!

Some #HPC fun for you all after #SC24 #supercomputing ... Test yourself with this quiz from our SC24 Tutorial "Delivering HPC: Procurement, Cost Models, Metrics, Value & More" No prizes, merely fun. Feel free to post your scores. forms.office.com/r/YSM7avEwFk

High performance computing or highly-prioritizing AI? The NSF talk at #SC24 gave a nod to infrastructure needs for HPC but with an eye on how those are used for building next-gen AI for sci and industry. www.nextplatform.com/2024/11/22/n...

This is a nice write up on the design, architecture & workings of Bluesky!

I am thankful for being part of this. Today Microsoft and Atom Computing are coming together to ultimately build the world’s most powerful quantum machine. Take a look at the announcement on how we are advancing the future of #quantumcomputing : msft.it/6002WStKG #AzureQuantum #MSIgnite

Did you know that #Microsoft developed a new glas fiber that transfers light 1.5 times faster than every other fiber in the world? They achiev that by creating a fiber with a core of a special gas inside. Welcome the Hollow Core Fiber (HFC) #MSIgnite

We had a great day at the 4th annual Northern Ireland High Performance Computing conference (#NIHPC) here st ulster university. Great turn out and some interesting talks. #HPC, #UU #conference

I don’t know about lure and lock. If you buy a cluster of this for yourself, you’re locked in for 5+ years just the same. If Azure does a bad job, you’re free to walk away whenever and stop paying 🙂

Here’s a Reindeer node at the Microsoft booth. Looks a lot like the Eagle node. And the MI300X node. Not a coincidence. #SC24

#Green500: Europe takes the top 3 spots 1. JEDI at FZJ Germany retains the crown at 72.73 GFlops/Watt 2. ROMEO-2025 - new system in France with identical architecture to JEDI but twice as large 3. Adastra 2 - new Cray/AMD system at GENCI, France top500.org/lists/green5... #SC24 #HPC

Mandatory things to ask my #Microsoft #Azure colleagues at #SC24 : “I’m having a problem with <obscure-hardware-driver> on my Windows laptop - can you fix it?” 💻 “Got any free Xboxes?” 🎮 “When will you rename Copilot to Clippy 2.0?” 🤖 #we-also-do #HPC 🤦 ❤️🚀

#HPC career recommendations for #SC24 - “Don’t be shy” :-)

Countdown to #SC24: Interesting #Top500 trivia o The last 5 #1 supercomputers made their debut at ISC (Germany, June) and not at SC in the US (Nov) o 7 of the last 10 #1 systems were announced at ISC o The last time SC debuted a top system was Titan at #SC12 (Nov 2012) #HPC #Supercomputing

By far, my favourite tutorial at #SC is Parallel I/O in Practice. Though not for a while, I attended it two years in a row and learned so much! (and not about juggling).

I made an infra engineer starter pack. Folks posting about databases, stream processing, durable execution, orchestrators, service meshes, and more. go.bsky.app/SCZe42X

I’m not going to be at #SC24… still feeling grateful for all the SC experiences I’ve had to date :-) Hope everyone has a great conference. And check out my #Microsoft #Azure friends there for all the #HPC things!
