Please note: Any claims of AI Exascale, AI Zettascale or beyond computing power are just baloney. Real computing power is measured in FP64. Period. AMD embraced utter stupidity by adopting this terminology by the leather jacket man. It's a really shame! #CES2026 #AMD

Compilers are the field of tech with the highest divergence of incredibly smart people to absolutely brain dead results

The first Monday of the new year means... predictions! Thrilled to announce that @simonwillison.net will again be joining @ahl.bsky.social and me for 1- 3- and 6-year predictions. Bring your own predictions and join us today at a special time: 4p Pacific! discord.gg/QrcKGTTPrF?e...

Low quality programming fact: C is the worlds first widely deployed compiler intermediate representation

Time to let the cat out of the bag: I've joined AiNekko! Specifically, I've joined under the platform group, working on Numerics and ISA. The work is being a relentless advocate for well documented, predictable compute. Make it good, make it open, make it fast

waking up with a headache is such bullshit did I sleep too much? not enough? am I dehydrated? is it caffeine withdrawal? atmospheric pressure change? nobody knows but now I gotta deal with it 🙃

A new partnership between the Digital Research Alliance of Canada and EPCC will enable closer collaboration between the two organisations, with a focus on the effective delivery of large-scale compute infrastructure to inform national approaches. edin.ac/4a8bHiX

In what I promise will be a joke more people understand next week:

I want to thank @theregister.com for the comprehensive review of the @tenstorrent.bsky.social Blackhole Quiet box. Blackhole is a fascinating bit of kit, and we're hopeful that, over time, our software team can enable and fix all of the very fair points of critique mentioned.

That’s a wrap on #SC25, spending time with so many of my favourite people on the planet. While HPC is known for what it makes, what makes HPC is the community. See you all in Chicago for #SC26. Signing off from Saint Louis #WeAreAllHPCGuru

I really enjoyed chairing the panel on an open #HPC ecosystem at #SC25 Thanks to @fclc.bsky.social from @tenstorrent.bsky.social , Teresa from @bsc-cns.bsky.social, Tony from #Redhat, Daniele from #E4computer-engineering and Penporn from @developers.google.com

me to the user mailing list: "hi everyone, either if you're having this problem or not, please reply JUST to me and let me know if you can or cannot submit jobs" approximately 20 replies: "JUST", end of message. walked straight into that one. @fclc.bsky.social @craftcomputing.bsky.social

Well, I can't say I've never met @fclc.bsky.social anymore! Also found @chipsandcheese.bsky.social, @servethehome.com.web.brid.gy and some other great folks tonight leading up to #SC25 #HPC in #STL

I wonder if I can win the oldest SC shirt at #SC25 contest

In this article, EPCC's @nickbrown-hpc.bsky.social writes about the work behind #SC25 sessions on #RISCV, novel and emerging architectures, and the Computational Abilities Knowledge Exchange network (CAKE). edin.ac/48a229Z

Many people ask, "Just what is this Beowulf Bash thing anyway?" I tell them, "It started with cigars and cognac and became a legend at SC". The story is best told by the invitations (see you there at #SC25) www.clustermonkey.net/Supercomputi...

Excited for this 😊

With the next product launch season fast approaching, a reminder of the first question you should *always* be asking when a figure of merit is presented without context: #HPC

perhaps #VPMM ~= ACE... bsky.app/profile/inst...

#AMD & #Intel unified future instructions: #FRED #AVX10 #ChkTag #ACE (=ACE (Advanced Matrix Extensions for Matrix Multiplication): www.amd.com/en/blogs/202...

Happy #thanksgiving to my Canadian chums! Here’s ten reprobate Massachusetts turkey found wandering around our back yard this afternoon to celebrate. 🤣 Mostly for @aspuru.bsky.social and @fclc.bsky.social 🇨🇦

Happy thanksgiving all! Wishing you and your families a lovely Autumn filled with love and contentment!

Really nice Thesis on the current breadth of HPC tools, approaches and more: inria.hal.science/tel-05298148...

In Chicago until Wednesday, would love to say hi if anyone is around 😊

Hey friends! At #ALL.IN in Montreal, would Love to say hi!

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

New #ISC25 podcast with Kevin Jackson on ISC highlights on connecting everything, #AI vs. #HPC? No! HPC is the Engine for AI and AI is HPC. Precision boosting, Ultra Ethernet, Reasoning Language Models, AI applications, and Supercomputing as driver for future societies!

Very interesting to me that it will only be a 6 X increase in DGEMM. Fugaku is famously under provisioned for low precision flops, I must wonder if this is an over correction?

This was super fun! Thanks to @nickbrown-hpc.bsky.social for the invitation and @epcc.bsky.social for hosting a lovely conference!

Was great fun teaching the @tenstorrent.bsky.social tutorial at @ieeexplore.bsky.social #CLUSTER with @fclc.bsky.social this week. And thanks Owain Kenway for finding (and fixing!) the bugs in the practical exercises ;) Great to introduce the architecture to new people!

I’m increasingly convinced by an argument I saw recently that LLMs are effectively power tools (apologies for not remembering the cite!): - Incredibly useful for experts in a field that are able to correct for their errors - Really dangerous for layfolk who don’t know what they don’t know

One of the biggest things missing from Bsky continues to be Polls. I use socials in no small part as a way to aggregate and share information. Polls are *easily* the easiest, lowest friction way of doing that. @jay.bsky.team please please please can that functionality be added?
