China has been producing open source models that surpass the performance of OS models from other countries on a number of metrics. Today, the model QwQ is measured to outperform OpenAI o1 and Anthropic Sonnet.

It's been many years since AMD did a 4-way NUMA setup with their CPUs since their Opteron lineup.

I wonder if they'll do that after Turin on their non-HBM Epyc parts?

So if you attended #SC24, what did you like? What should we make sure to bring back and any changes you want to see? I’m co-chairing the technical program in 25 and suggestions welcome. I love that we had record attendance, let’s keep the momentum!

Reminder that your employer may have a charitable matching program, and now’s a good time to use it.

My employer currently matches up to $10k per year, so my partner and I are planning to prioritize matching gifts for groups that will be heavily impacted by the incoming administration.

If you're leaving SC'24 inspired by what you saw, and you want to just get started playing with something new, then you can watch this latest Tech Short which shows you how to spin up an AMD cluster in 15 mins, with Lustre, MPIs + stuff you care about. Ready to break things. https://buff.ly/4fY2JnV

Hello #HPC folks! With everyone joining BlueSky and hanging out at #SC24, I thought it would be good to mention that my group at NVIDIA is actively hiring.

There are several incentives, IMHO

DOE (part of Gov #HPC) funded #FastForward & #DesignForward aimed at accelerating R&D of critical technologies needed for #Exascale #HPC

Industry cannot and will not tackle the hardware/software codesign alone

Key industry vendors benefited from these programs
The questions and conversations I've been hearing so far at #SC24 overwhelming assume that it is a given that industry would want to work with this community. But is that true? Honest Q: What incentives do industry have to work with gov/edu HPC?
