Quantum #39

Issue #39 of the weekly HPC newsletter by HMx Labs: Pat leaves Intel, silicon in HPC and more

Quantum #39

In a week that saw both AWS’ re:Invent and CIUK (the HPC Christmas party) somehow the biggest news in HPC this week came from neither and instead from Intel. Actually, the big news all week has been about the silicon. See the stories from HPCWire and our own thoughts below.

We’re also still hiring and looking for your input on the next HPC Club event so if you fancy working for us or just want to share your two cents on the next meetup give me a shout.
