I have some computations that I am joblibbing. The RAM consumption is very predictable as a function of the processes. However, the swap is also creeping up and I have no idea what can be causing this. Is there a rule-of-thumb for predicting swap use in parallel operations ?

"These people, many of whom were women, were the first scientific programmers and computational scientists. Skilled in the complicated operation of early computing devices, they often had degrees in maths or science, and were an integral part of research efforts. And yet, their fundamental contributions are mostly forgotten."

“It is hard to predict when the world will go crazy,” he says of his belief that #quantum will follow the #AI path, with billions invested to secure an impregnable position and #UK companies becoming #AcquisitionTargets.

There are already signs of this happening, with #Oxford #Ionics being acquired for $1.1bn by the US company #IonQ in June.

#QuantumComputers use #QuantumBits, or #qubits, to solve problems exponentially faster than classical computers but they are still prone to mounting errors.

This prevents them from reaching their full potential to #model new #materials for fields such as #medicine and #SolarPower, or master highly complex #calculations.

Rather than trying to build quantum computers themselves, UK #startups such as #Phasecraft, spun out of the #UniversityOfBristol and #UniversityCollegeLondon in 2019, and #Riverlane, which emerged from #CambridgeUniversity in 2016, have focused on the #algorithms and #software needed for the machines to work.”
