HPC, BLAS, I make things FAST

Standing on the shoulders of giants
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

(I help with HPC.social)
Maybe divide? Would be really expensive in area, but that’s my best guess?

On the MBA vs MBP question, I’d go back to what you’re likely to be doing.

If it’s a travel and leisure machine with some productivity/code, the air is more than enough.

The pro is mainly for *many* external displays, or large, continuous workloads (think games, large modsim, big compile jobs)

My opinions of Microsoft being what they are (“the best thing {they} sell is Linux servers”) I’d avoid windows.

If this is a machine to play *with*, lots of Linux options.

The best is likely going to be something like a FrameWork 14-16

What are your main constraints/workloads?

My unsurprising recommendation is going to be a 12-14inch MBA. Lovely little machines with great battery life and performance that’s disproportionately good.

Will you be using it for photo editing? Or mostly browsing?
