Colorado Sun: Google taps Boulder physicist to head up new quantum-computing team in Colorado. “Google said Tuesday that it is entering the Colorado quantum realm in what seems like a very tiny way: It hired a quantum physicist in Boulder to speed up development of its first quantum computer. But by adding University of Colorado and federal lab researcher Adam Kaufman, Google is taking a much […]

Tipps, Tricks und Netzwerken: Am 20. und 21. April findet am LRZ ein #Workshop statt, der ins beschleunigte #Supercomputing einführt. Sie erfahren von Spezialist:innen des LRZ und von Intel, wie Sie mit SuperMUC-NG schneller simulieren, #CPU und #GPU geschickt ansprechen und effizient coden. Der Workshop findet am LRZ statt, dort können Sie sich die Maschine für Ihre #Forschung anschauen (und mehr Ressourcen dazu).

#HPC #supercomputing I gave a talk for a Systems Admin focused workshop for the Energy in HPC conference at Rice. My talk focused on our center's "real" update; that is, actual problems we experience and how we deal with them. I spoke truthfully about two vendors, and one of them reached out to my colleague! I've included a screenshot of the exchange below..

What kind of crybaby, entitled shit is this? I did not "rip" into the vendor's product, I spoke the truth regarding it. In this case the vendor should be bending over backwards to us for stating that their product was "production ready" on a large HPC cluster when it clearly wasn't. If we were told to treat the product as alpha or beta, different implementation decisions would have been made.

Can’t make it to ZKM but near Seattle?Join us at https://icm.museum to celebrate 40 years of the connection machine!
