Isambard-AI packs a third of a megawatt into one rack, yet you can chat right next to it. I toured the UK's largest AI supercomputer with Simon McIntosh-Smith: built in 14 months, PUE 1.07, ~1.5 swimming pools of water a year. youtu.be/wecEsT-fQPk

UT's share of TACC's Horizon shrank from a thousand Blackwells to 432 as prices rose. Matt Walters of Supercomputing News and I dig into memory rising another 120%m and discuss everything going on in the supercomputing world. youtu.be/WT9ld_EM6gY

Kenneth and the crew from EESSI used technology built for the large hadron collider to create the Netflix for scientific software. Pretty nifty. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeCK... #ai #hpc #scientificcomputing #opensource #supercomputer #supercomputing

Open weights, not open source. You can see the full episode of inside baseball (Supercomputing edition) on the 'tubes at @discoveredByCompute

OpenHPC is more than just an open source project. It's a career builder for thousands of IT professionals around the globe who now know how to build super computers. And that's quite a trick. #ai #hpc #scientificcomputing #opensource #supercompputer #supercomputing youtu.be/dSFhHjHOaRk

We just published our first edition of Inside Baseball ^H^H^H Supercomputing ... where we discussed many of the things that happened in the supercomputing world in the last month. Hope you like it please give it a try. lnkd.in/dgwz2_8B

HPC can't match the cloud's scale, but it can steal its ideas. How Los Alamos, NERSC, Bristol and CSCS brought cloud thinking on-prem. Link in bio. #ai #hpc #scientificcomputing #opensource #supercomputing

Every supercomputer starts the same way: someone has to get an operating system onto every node before anything else can happen. Travis explains how it's done across NERSC, Bristol and CSCS on both HPE and Dell hardware. #HPC #OpenSource #Supercomputing

El Capitan runs on Flux, which should tell you there's something interesting going on there. A lot of banks and core financial institutions should sit up and pay attention to this as well. #ai #hpc #scientificcomputing #opensource #supercomputing youtu.be/kZurarGmuNs

Building sftware in research can feel like a hazing ritual. Spack was created to address that, and so far the results have been amazing. youtu.be/eW0kK4PUKdY

Your mouse runs on thousands of open-source packages. Science relies on even more. How is AI changing that? #OpenSource #AI #HPC #SoftwareEngineering #ScientificComputing #TechExplained

Your next medicine will be designed by code, driven by AI. Dr Nathan Brown is working in the middle of all this. and gives us some great insights into the field, almost from an outsider's perspective. I really got a lot out of this discussion. I hope you do too. youtu.be/18ZcYxOQtaE
