Listening to #SCAsia / #HPCAsia closing session keynote by Kathy Yelick on how the community of #HPC must adapt in the new world of computing driven by #AI …

Amirreza Rastegari - benchmarking expert from Microsoft #HPC / #AI engineering group - giving talk at #SCAsia / #HPCAsia on Azure HBv5 clusters using AMD CPUs with HBM plus InfiniBand interconnect - enabling sector-leading #HPC application performance via huge memory bandwidth

Noooooooo!!

#ExaFlops not ExaFlop

#SCAsia / #HPCAsia

The future of #AI infrastructure is AND NOT OR 😁

Microsoft will have AI running on #MAIA200 and successors + more #Nvidia #GPUs + more #AMD GPUs + a few others things we aren’t talking about publicly yet.

Exciting times to be part of thinking, planning, delivering all this.

At 2500 attendees, good spread of international attendance, lots of good talks/papers, can we argue that the combined #SCAsia + #HPCAsia is finally joining SC and ISC to form a “big three” annual event of #supercomputing instead of just the traditional “big two”?

#SCAsia / #HPCAsia

My first time at #SCAsia/#HPCAsia this week. I don’t have a crazy preset agenda as I would at SC/ISC, so looking forward to having time to explore new experiences, hopes, and perspectives on #HPC and #AIinfra, meet people, etc.

Impressive altitude on my flight earlier today

Sunset HND airport

I have voucher A to get [thing] for $20.

I also have voucher B to get same [thing] for $0.

However, voucher B is not working … and I have now spent a lot more than $20 worth of my time trying to make it work … and won’t be giving up any time soon yet …

Using someone else’s smartphone and being unable to use it easily because they HAVE ALL THEIR APPS IN THE WRONG ORDER!!

interested in your suggestions for the pages on #HPC/#AI events, and relevant news/analysis publications, podcasts, social media, etc.

It worked. New www.hpcnotes.com site up and running …

That tense moment when you switch what your primary domain and sub-domains urls point to … and your entire online presence evaporates for several long minutes while waiting for the DNS updates to go live and spread … the tension to see if you made a mess of the DNS edits …

Can you claim to be a real #HPC software engineer if you've never coded with at least 2 of #Fortran, #MPI, #OpenMP, or #CUDA?

Can you claim to be a modern #supercomputing scientist if you've never worked with at least 2 of #cloud, #AI/#ML, #FP16, or #RSEs?

Crossed off 12 items from my To-Do list today. Just 188 more to go from the "urgent" folder.

@hpcgal but what if it was a dead heat?

Why are Unix programmers like crabs?

Because they prefer to stay in their shells!

Why are plays written by Fortran 77 programmers boring?

Because they can’t have more than 6 characters!

Why are C++ programmers so rich?

Because they know how to do inheritance!
