HPC, BLAS, I make things FAST

TLDR; 🇨🇦🐧🧑🏼‍💻🚴🏎️🧗🏼 💩posting.
Haver of opinions that are all my own.
I mainly do #HPC #BLAS #AI #RVV and #clusters

Proud French Canadian, you’ll hear about it

Please note: Any claims of AI Exascale, AI Zettascale or beyond computing power are just baloney. Real computing power is measured in FP64. Period.

AMD embraced utter stupidity by adopting this terminology by the leather jacket man.

It's a really shame!

Time to let the cat out of the bag: I've joined AiNekko!

Specifically, I've joined under the platform group, working on Numerics and ISA.

The work is being a relentless advocate for well documented, predictable compute.

Make it good, make it open, make it fast

waking up with a headache is such bullshit

did I sleep too much? not enough? am I dehydrated? is it caffeine withdrawal? atmospheric pressure change? nobody knows but now I gotta deal with it 🙃

A new partnership between the Digital Research Alliance of Canada and EPCC will enable closer collaboration between the two organisations, with a focus on the effective delivery of large-scale compute infrastructure to inform national approaches.

I want to thank @theregister.com for the comprehensive review of the @tenstorrent.bsky.social Blackhole Quiet box.

Blackhole is a fascinating bit of kit, and we're hopeful that, over time, our software team can enable and fix all of the very fair points of critique mentioned.

That’s a wrap on #SC25, spending time with so many of my favourite people on the planet. While HPC is known for what it makes, what makes HPC is the community.

See you all in Chicago for #SC26.

Many people ask, "Just what is this Beowulf Bash thing anyway?"

I tell them, "It started with cigars and cognac and became a legend at SC". The story is best told by the invitations (see you there at #SC25)

Excited for this 😊
Say what you will about the hardware or the software, @tenstorrent.bsky.social's Blackhole QuietBox is a gorgeous bit of kit.
