Wouldn’t be a trip to Oak Ridge National Lab without a leg on one of these lil guys.

I am a supercomputing enthusiast, but I usually don't know what I'm talking about. I post about large-scale infrastructure for #HPC and #AI.
Andreas Dilger is now working for The Lustre Collective (https://thelustrecollective.com) after leaving DDN. I am glad to see his leadership continue to drive Lustre into the future. Say what you will about it, Lustre is the standard to which every other #HPC file system is compared.
When I spent a Thanksgiving week after SC writing the non-MPI layer for Darshan years ago, I thought to myself “surely this work will make me famous!”
I guess my ship finally came in at the PDSW keynote by Rob Ross.
Chatting with a pal reminded me of a fun pre-SC activity: looking back at old conference takes that aged like milk. Remember this one?
I’m in North Dakota this week celebrating Scandinavian heritage.
That liquid on top is butter.
Visited some of my old pals at NERSC this afternoon. It feels like a lot has changed, but at the same time, it’s the same old place. I do miss working here, but am glad I now get a chance to visit under the auspices of my new role at VAST.
Getting on a plane for VAST for the first time on Monday. But I’m not so sure about the destination 🥵
GPT-5 is cool and all, but it's still not to be trusted. Didn't take me long to get "PhD-level" made-up facts.
What really distinguishes "PhD-level" from whatever GPT-4 was is the ability to critically think, be skeptical, and stand behind the information you put forward. GPT-5 still ain't there.
My job remains secure!
One thing I really enjoy about working at VAST (or perhaps that I enjoy about not working at Microsoft) is that I can go out and talk to people again as part of my job. Here’s a view from where I got to spend my afternoon today.
