Quantum #5

Issue #5 of the weekly HPC newsletter by HMx Labs.

Quantum #5

Issue 5! No format changes this week, but feedback is of course still welcome. Lots of releases naturally from Google last week being Cloud Next. More on that I the cloud HPC news link below. Not a great deal of HPC related announcements or releases. Not unless we count anything to do with AI as HPC in which case it was all HPC related 😊

You’re as welcome as ever to contribute, please drop us an email at [email protected] for anything you’d like to see featured or if you’d like to write for Flux by HMx Labs yourself.
