I integrated a tool that shows resource usage of running #Slurm jobs, if you are allowed to ssh into the running job. It’s not a core part of the #HPC object browser, but seems pretty useful, especially for “new to HPC” folks. Short demo video below.

I added an object-class-specific details view to the #HPC objects browser. The view is customizable with templates and can pull in instance attributes of objects. (HTML + Jinja2). Development is progressing nicely and it's fun to explore this! 😊 Here is a video showing #Slurm partitions and jobs.

Here is a short video on how to get started with the #HPC object browser and the #Slurm provider. I am looking for feedback how the tool works in your environment. Give it a try and let me know. github.com/RobertHensch...

I ran across the TU Dresden Campus today, beautiful! @tudresden.bsky.social

Continuing the modeling/visualizing of #HPC objects. The video shows how to group objects by their properties. The example are #Slurm jobs, but this is a generic capability of the browser. It works with any property of any object. Groupings show in the breadcrumb bar for easy navigation and history.

Following up to last weeks post (bsky.app/profile/robe...), here is a video of the #HPC objects that I modeled: directories (Home, Scratch, Project), batch queues/partitions and jobs, software modules. This is not a mock-up, its a live view of the system! What other objects can you think of?!

I played with modeling an #HPC center as a collection of objects. Then I used Cursor to create a prototype app. Data providers running on a login node and the browser can run on a laptop or an #HPCDesktop. Blows my mind how fast I can explore ideas thanks to coding with LLMs.

I am exploring the topic of graphical file browser/managers for #HPC environments. If you have strong feelings on the usefulness/futility of such tools for HPC "end users", I would welcome your feedback or pointers to resource. Please reach out! Thank you.

Interested in #HPC and attending #SC25? Please consider submitting a paper to the Sixth Combined Workshop on Interactive and Urgent High-Performance Computing www.interactivehpc.com/cfp @larofeticus.bsky.social

I do miss #ISC25, but this is a pretty good excuse... 😎

Announcing @bsc-cns.bsky.social as 1st ever European host of #HPC Leadership Training Institute - Sept 2025 - the highly regarded & impartial 3-day class for current or future HPC leaders on strategy, procurement, technology evaluation, cost/risk/value models, etc. www.linkedin.com/posts/andrew...

Bye bye Boston, it was a great weekend!

Feeling great! Walking very slowly... 😎

That was fun!

Anyone else feeling great? 😂

I think I am getting the hang of this...

Athlete's village in Hopkinton. A bit more than an hour and I will be on my way.

It's getting real, in line for the bus to Hopkinton.

Good morning Boston. This looks like a great day for a run...

Not sure I will look this relaxed tomorrow when I cross the finish line...

Final shake out run. Looking good for tomorrow!

Good morning Boston! One day to go...

This is really happening...

My posts in the next couple of days won't be about HPC... they will be about running the Boston Marathon! 🎉 🏃🏼‍♂️🏁

Let's go!

On my way to the #HPC Advisory Council meeting in Lugano. I will present "The Case for HPC Desktops" on Monday. Looking forward to it! #HPCDesktop @cscsch.bsky.social

Today I get to experience what looks like the world's longest jet bridge.

Starting interactive jobs ✅ Running applications in SLURM ✅ How about shell scripts? How about leveraging desktop features like drag and drop to make it easy for new users? Rapid prototyping with Cursor really is a lot of fun! Code available here: github.com/RobertHensch... #HPC #HPCDesktop #SLURM

My "SLURM Desktop" prototype for Linux HPC Desktops continues to evolve, thanks to Cursor! Interactive jobs are great, but how about running MATLAB in a job with just a few clicks?! Or any other graphical Linux app... Code available here: github.com/RobertHensch... #HPC #HPCDesktop #SLURM

I am about 2 hours into creating my "SLURM Desktop" rapid prototype for Linux HPC Desktops. I added the ability to run interactive jobs in any partition, GPU features are auto detected! Currently supports mate-terminal / xterm. Code available here: github.com/RobertHensch... #HPC #HPCDesktop #SLURM

I continue to explore Cursor... and I created an app that shows SLURM partitions. Took me less than 1 hour! Try it and let me know if it works: github.com/RobertHensch... Needs to run on a system with SLURM binaries available, like an HPC Desktop or a login node with X11. #hpc #hpcdesktop

Following up on my post a few days ago, I have released the Simple Usage Monitor for HPC Desktops. I built the app using Cursor and Claude Sonnet. If you happen to have an HPC Desktop setup, give it a try and let me know what you think! github.com/RobertHensch... #hpc #hpcdesktop

My experience coding with AI in 7 posts. I tried making HPC systems easier to use for a long time. An HPC Desktop is one way to accomplish this goal. (github.com/RobertHensch...) Think of an HPC Desktop as a login node, but serving a full remote Linux desktop. 1/7 #HPCDesktop #HPC #InteractiveHPC

I am experimenting with Cursor for rapid prototyping of apps. It works remarkably well! Here are two apps I created last week in just a few hours. Both apps are intended for a Linux remote desktop, that sits in front of an HPC system. I will share more in the next couple of days. #HPCDesktop #HPC

Are you using HPC for interactive or urgent workflows, for example to process data from instruments? Please consider submitting a paper to the ISC Workshop on Interactive and Urgent HPC: www.interactivehpc.com/cfp Paper deadline is March 14. #hpc #ISC25

I am excited to announce that the call for papers is out for the ISC Workshop on Interactive and Urgent HPC: www.interactivehpc.com/cfp Paper deadline is March 14. #HPC #ISC25 #HPCDesktop @larofeticus.bsky.social

I can highly recommend reading Jonas Lindemann's post about coding with ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot - jonaslindemann.github.io/blog/2025/01.... He makes a few very good points that I fully agree with! #HPC
