Quantum #53

Issue #53 of the weekly HPC newsletter by HMx Labs. HPC cloud release notes, tales from HPC club about schedulers, quantum computing explanations. Yea must be your weekly HPC newsletter.

Quantum #53

Not much of an intro from me this week but a small request. Know someone who works in HPC in any capacity who might also benefit from this? Could you it share it with them and hopefully get them to subscribe too? We’d love to increase our subscriber count a bit!

And of course if you want more than just announcement for the next HPC Club event then this is definitely the place to be to get all the news 😉

Don’t worry, we won’t steal your compute cycles or your data!

More tales from HPC Club: Should we even call it a scheduler?

Don’t Call Me a Scheduler
The word scheduler, in a HPC context, is overloaded and can mean different things to different people. So, we shouldn’t use it anymore.
