It's our last day at #SC25! @nickbrown-hpc.bsky.social and Gabriel Rodriguez-Canal will present their paper 'Programmer productivity and performance on AMD's AI Engines: Offloading Fortran intrinsics via MLIR a case-study'. Find them in 263-264 at 9:38am CST.

Well-done to my PhD student Gabriel Rodriguez-Canal @epcc.bsky.social who gave a great talk about our work support Fortran intrinsics on #AMD #AIEs at #SC25 #H2RC. The first step in #AIE Fortran support. dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.114…

Fascinating talk by Ilan Tayari from @nextsilicon.com at #SC25 #H2RC about Maverick 2. Based on dataflow help solving the issue with traditional architectures around (very) low ALU occupancy, their architecture will move #HPC away from Von Neumann architecture

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

Was really great to meet @jeffgeerling.com at the @epcc.bsky.social booth at #SC25, we had a fascinating chat and I was really inspiring to hear about some of Jeff's projects and activities. Also really cool to chat with him about our Raspberry PI mini supercomputer #WeeArchie
