Have you ever wondered what it would look like to fall through the event horizon of a black hole? NASA just put out a video showing just that. Amazing! H/T @Phil Plait #nasa #physics #hpc https://youtu.be/chhcwk4-esM?si=D40BDO-f_1bhMnaR

The Itanium/Itanic history is so deeply indepted to Soviet VLIW supercomputer architectures. Itanium failed but the Moscow Center of SPARC Technologies is still developing new VLIW chips. Fascinating #ComputerHistory #history #hpc

"HPC-Jin. Fuerzas Civiles de Protección de las Mujeres de la #AANES" en YouTube
HPC-Jin es la estructura femenina autónoma de #HPC (Hêzên Parastina Civakî), las fuerzas de defensa social autoorganizadas de #Rojava [#Kurdistán de #Siria], que ahora están activas en todas las ciudades. También forman parte de la «Nación Democrática» y están directamente conectadas con las comisiones de defensa de los municipios.
Las mujeres de HPC-Jin tienen 3 grandes objetivos que persiguen con su trabajo: la protección de la ciudad respectiva, la protección de las mujeres y las niñas, y la educación de las mujeres. Tratan de sacar a las mujeres de sus casas y educarlas, ya que la mayoría de ellas aún permanecen en sus familias y no salen mucho o nada de casa. El objetivo es que tomen conciencia de la actual opresión de las mujeres y así liberarlas de su pasividad ante las estructuras patriarcales feudales y transformarlas de nuevo en individuos políticos activos.

The Frontier supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory is the first to achieve "exascale", a threshold of a quintillion calculations per second. It has ranked as the world's fastest on the TOP500 list at 1.1 exaflops.
"Frontier, a HPE Cray EX supercomputer, also claimed the number one spot on the Green500 list, which rates energy use and efficiency by commercially available supercomputing systems, with 62.68 gigaflops performance per watt." It also topped a new ranking on "mixed-precision computing, that rates performance in formats commonly used for artificial intelligence, with a performance of 6.88 exaflops."
How did they do it? 74 HPE Cray EX supercomputer cabinets, with each node containing an optimized EPYC processor and four AMD Instinct accelerators, "for a total of more than 9,400 CPUs and more than 37,000 GPUs in the entire system."
In addition, they have a high-performance ethernet system called HPE Slingshot, the world's largest and fastest single parallel file system, based on the Cray ClusterStor E1000 storage system, and local storage devices connected via PCIe Gen4 that provide peak read speeds of 75 terabytes per second, peak write speeds of 35 terabytes per second, and 15 billion random-read input/output operations per second.
Frontier supercomputer debuts as world’s fastest, breaking exascale barrier
#microsoft is STILL #googlebombing "LINUX" to make it SEEM like it is relevant in #HPC ... maybe Microsoft bribed some place to play along and then spam the "AZURE" brand (read: layoffs, failure)

A cool write up about our first exascale supercomputers that are starting to come online right now. Very impressive. #HPC nextplatform.com/2021/10/04/fir…

I've heard of using lower precision for AI/ML but the fact they are having success doing it in applications like CFD surprises me. Interesting stuff #hpc #programming nextplatform.com/2021/08/23/mor…
