Some clarifications:
1. Arcastream resells GPFS, and what Datacore bought is a group of great GPFS implementation experts, the best.
2. Kalray acquired Arcapix in 2022 for:
€0.9 million in cash
464,770 Kalray shares (valued at €12.9 million based on share prices at the time), now valued at €30K.

My bad. Their financial reports do not document servers as a major part of their past business. Keep an eye on them, though, as they are making many of the densest AI rack systems we see being installed.

What is Bluesky and how’s it different to Twitter?
Twitter uses an AI-powered centrally managed algorithm to moderate what you see. On Bluesky, you have control over the algorithm that selects what you see through so-called ‘composable moderation’.

My guess is the BOD has (logically) decided to split the company (and sell the design part), and Pat's efforts to keep it together are concluded.

Seriously Andrew, think what you can add to the conference and not so much the other way around. The venue is small and focused, great for connecting. Go to the grand initiative talks, ask questions, give advice. As others have said, they would value your participation.

Finally, we did a Zoom interview during COVID, days before he died. His thoughts were entirely on his son and his future.

He had no idea the esteem HPC end-users had of him. He never had that feedback. It was GREAT to see that.

I took him to the corner where all ALCF’s leadership’s offices were, and we poked our heads in to say hi. They stood up and treated Rich as a celebrity! Of course, they knew Rich, but Rich was genuinely touched by how they respected and admired him and his work.

We last met in person at an HPC User Forum at Argonne. He was in his perch up front, and being familiar with Argonne, I asked him during a break if he wanted to see Argonne’s Supercomputers, and I gave him a tour.

While on the cruise, he garnered the attention of a very attractive young woman (Rich was very buff), and he told me that was the "last thing he needed in his life".

Later, I attended a conference in Heidelberg where he sat in his familiar InsideHPC front-row perch, recording the presenters. The attendees went on a beautiful Neckar River cruise where he whipped out his camera and microphone, and we did a wonderful impromptu interview on the product I had.

I first met Rich at Sun Microsystems, where he wore his red hat and was in charge of our last Supercomputing booth. His teenage son manned the booth and charmed all of us and our visitors.

Shipping an estimated 70K cabinets at over $200B revenue in 2025 alone disqualifies this product as anything interesting to lab edu early adopters. It’s already mainstream and God help you if it doesn’t work.

Honest answer: gov/edu HPC are classic "early adopters" of new, unproven technology - they are paid to experiment and take risks. They are the first customers for most of the companies exhibiting. Commercial customers wouldn't take a chance on most of them.

It makes sense to use both: DDN for checkpoints since they are very good at writes and VAST for RAG and general storage (they are terrible at writes). This is similar to Meta's 2 filesystem architecture.
