HPC Club – 1 Week to go
One week to go and only a handful of spots left.
ISC is over. But now that you’ve had a few days to rest, the conversations in your head are still spinning. Need an outlet? Come along to HPC Club in a week. 8 July to be precise.
When we first announced this edition of HPC Club with Lawrence Livermore National Lab presenting I think it was pitched as the owners of the world’s largest supercomputer, El-Capitan. Unfortunately, as of last week they have lost that title, being pushed down to number 2 by LineShine. It makes neither Vanessa nor Dan any less capable, but it takes the marketing sheen off things a little. Not that any true HPC NErD would care right?
Apart from being home to the number two supercomputer in the world, LLNL is also the birthplace of Slurm, one of (if not the most) widely used schedulers. It is also birthplace of Flux, the new scheduler that is run not only by El-Capitan but several other DoE supercomputers and is seeing increasing adoption now that it has been donated to the High Performance Software Foundation (a part of the Linux Foundation). Want to speak to the people who created it? Not only about Flux but also its integration and how they’re using AI workflows?
As if that wasn’t enough, we’ll also have Man Group presenting on the challenges they have faced in AI adoption. In case you haven’t heard of them, Man Group is a hedge fund and places like that don’t run on hope and hype so if you want to see what real usage looks like, come along and find out.
As of this morning there were only 10 places left, so don’t hang about. Please do sign up even if the event becomes wait listed, if there’s enough demand, we’ll see what we can do about extending the capacity.
