We’re getting ready to host IEEE Cluster in Edinburgh next week. Among the highlights will be keynotes from Natalia Vassilieva (Cerebras Systems); Rosa Badia (@bsc-cns.bsky.social) and Garth Wells (University of Cambridge). Talk abstracts: edin.ac/41qm0K9

/bin/cc and /bin/c++ are the bain of my life when trying to install new software on older systems. I'd rather a distro came with no compilers and you had to manually install them than have gcc 4.8.5 the default option #hpc

Just Zarins from @epcc.bsky.social kicks off a mini symposium at #PASC25 on sustainability, talking about porting the @ncar-ucar.bsky.social shallow wave equation model to the @cerebrassystems.bsky.social #CS3

#PASC25 mini symposium on sustainability continues with Thomas Hauser from @ncar-ucar.bsky.social talks about reducing energy usage and cost by improving efficiency of the #CISL data centre as part of #CONTINENTS

@micheleweiland.bsky.social talks about sustainable supercomputing @epcc.bsky.social , including clock frequency on #ARCHER2, malleable jobs, novel hardware and teaching. At #PASC25, more details on our @cerebrassystems.bsky.social systems tomorrow afternoon by Justs as part of #CONTINENTS

Nice work from U Bologna: Tenstorrent has a good, if a bit complicated, story around efficiency (performance and perf/watt. What’s not shown in these slides is the massive price difference. At $699, I kinda want to buy one of these accelerators to mess with. #ISC25

Johann from HPE presenting the #DAOS API at our Object Storage for High Performance I/O tutorial at #ISC25

A legend travelled with us to #ISC25 but now it's time to send her home

Finally, Fabian from @fzj-jsc.bsky.social is presenting modeling work on chiplet communications in the Architecture and Networking research paper session at #ISC25

@epcc.bsky.social's @nickbrown-hpc.bsky.social kicking off the #RISC-V BoF at #ISC25

The University of Edinburgh has been announced as the home of the UK's next national supercomputer. The investment represents a huge endorsement of the University and its future as a world-leader in supercomputing and AI, recognising the strength & value of Edinburgh’s expertise. edin.ac/4ehIPVD

Enjoyed talking to the BBC world service this week about Supercomputing and the Top500 list as part of the Tech Life programme www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w...

Branded apples at the #ISC25 exhibition opening #WHPC

Watching #cloud supers. It’s the only one in the current top 10 with no energy data. But then I guess if I were using giant, power scoffing, big ‘ol chonking Intel Platinums I’d probably also refuse to publish my KW/hr numbers 🤣 #hpc top500.org/system/180236/

First #ISC25 BoF kicking off. This one is digital twins for modelling systems and data centres

It's great to see UK systems high in the #Top500 list again, but I'm finding it hard to reconcile these two things. I thought the Top500 submission needed the full system to be on the ground and powered up ("all system reported have to be installed and submitted by May 23rd.")
