HPC, BLAS, I make things FAST

Personal account 😊 

Currently making #RISCV and #HPC work on reduced precision, high IO bandwidth hardware

Previously making the weather forecast more precise by using less precise numbers
TLDR; 🇨🇦🐧🧑🏼‍💻🚴🏎️🧗🏼 🟦🟪🟥

Lots of #FP16 & #BLAS these days

Interests: #AVX512 #RVV #SVE #SME #SIMD #SYCL #F1 #HPC & making code faster than a golden retriever with the zoomies

@dneary @hpcnotes Cloud providers typically have offerings with high speed NICs!

If you opt into an HPC node/product, you can generally count on the networking to be somewhere between very reasonable and good!

#HPC Leadership scores so far

Q1: 97% of people got it correct
Q2: 76%
Q3: 73%
Q4: 84%
Q5: 89%
Q6: 88%
Q7: 65%
Q8: 78%
Q9: 90%
Q10: 70%

The most selected wrong answer (33% of people) is for Q7.

Nearly 20% of people got 10/10.

Still nobody who said they don't need the course got 10/10.

I am a sucker for photos of cool #HPC infrastructure, and here is a dense GB200 NVL72 cluster going up somewhere in Canada (I think). Impressive to see this many racks in row; the DC must have facility water which is still uncommon in hyperscale.

When are they rewriting Unix `tee` in Rust? It’s only 350 lines of code. 🦀

Seems to me like the easiest way to achieve memory safe tee everywhere. 🙃

@jannem It's also correct 😊

I have been convinced that Go is mostly an unserious language that should never have been allowed to escape the lab.

"Let's Learn x86-64 Assembly!" by @nicebyte

This is a really good absolute basics intro to x64 assembly, and includes a bunch of stuff I certainly didn't know.

Anyone open to commissions right now? I started a shitstorm because of Float/#ieee754 in Go, and it led to this idea:
“Felix that cat, as a judge, banging a gavel with all the language implementations that don’t do proper floats as the accused”
