Quantum #57

We’re still in hardware mode here at HMx towers. This week with my own personal desktop machine finally was finally upgraded from a creaky Intel based Mac to an aluminium clad M4 Max with 128GB of RAM. The thing I’m loving the most so far isn’t the performance though but how quiet it is compared to the old Intel driven machine. Next step is of course to run the COREx benchmark on it 😁

I used to run Mint as my desktop Linux distro of choice, but it seems this doesn’t have an ARM distribution which I’m quite sad about. I could go with  Debian or Ubuntu I guess…anyone got a better suggestion?

We have a date for the next HPC Club event, 18 June. More details down below but it promises to be particularly exciting with a panel of specialists discussing the future of HPC schedulers.

If you’ll be at AWS Summit London later this week and want to talk HPC, let me know.
