Please don't hate me, but I will publish a tiny proceedings paper in which I list a single CPU core not far from a full GPU, because I wanted to learn how bad/good our serial vectorization is before OpenMP and MPI parallelization.

I also want to do the cardinal sin of benchmark presentation, ok?!

The 13th MVAPICH User Group (MUG) Conference is coming up (Aug 18-20 in Columbus). It's a great event for focused technical presentations around MPI and network performance. Great speaker lineup too. Wish I could make it in-person, but virtual attendance is free

💥Spack v1.0 is out!💥

This is a huge milestone. We reworked the core to add compiler dependencies, and we're introducing a stable package API.

🚀1.0 also adds concurrent builds, better includes, and much more -- read it all in the release notes!
