Updates to AWS, Azure & GCP in the last week relevant for HPC practitioners. PCS supports Slurm 25.11, Azure gives you NetApp ransomware scanning and Google Cloud Next Updates.
Testing for Numerical Stability and Can AI Help Fix It
Can LLMs fix numerical stability problems in your code. Let’s design a little experiment to find out and how much would you just like a way to just validate your numerical stability across CPU generations and architectures.
FINOS ORB: One Cloud API to Rule Them All?
FINOS announced the Open Resource Broker yesterday, an adaptive layer to allow HPC schedulers to control cloud capacity designed to work across multiple clouds and schedulers. We’re all on in and are helping to create it.
Quantum #108
Issue #108 of the weekly HPC newsletter by HMx Labs. Slurm is still in the limelight with US Gov finally wondering Nvidia’s acquisition will affect national supercomputers. Data for AI might need another look beyond just scaping the internet and sovereign is still a thing it seems.

Updates to AWS, Azure & GCP in the last week relevant for HPC practitioners. Todd Gamblin of LLNL talks AI integration with the folk from Google. AWS embraces multi cloud. Azure lets you bring your own keys.
Quantum #107
Issue #107 of the weekly HPC newsletter by HMx Labs. Slurm got a bit of attention this week from Nvidia and the analysts but I think the bigger picture here is being missed. AWS gave us another way to abuse S3 and the DOE should probably talk to CERN.
