Yet Another HPC Geek
A long time ago I used www.httrack.com to create static copies of a couple of CMS sites, but YMMV

Wekan do this all day

That was also my first thought. There are also "pure" plays out there

Wondering why AI is cost sensitive when it comes to storage but not when it comes to floorspace and energy efficiency, and if it will remain that way

(copying from the other site) HPC, except when it's not really high performance; RSE, except when there's no engineering involved; not sure what I am, but what I do is research computing support

Just registered for the talk at NUS, but not sure if I can make it and will be traveling later that day. Are any of the other (public) talks before Jan 10?

Intel turning to RISCV targeting AI in the cloud. And quantum.

fun fact, the cluster's name is Vanda, after Vanda Miss Joaquim, Singapore's national flower www.nparks.gov.sg/activities/f... (no, I didn't choose the name, but it's a good one)

I guess blueys is taken

That's a neat idea. Mine would be this, from cde.nus.edu.sg/news-detail/... (but I mostly worked on the software, not datacentre or hardware, and I guess a screenshot of a terminal isn't as sexy 😬). Who's next?

When I see "segmentation fault", my first thought is "ulimit -s unlimited"

well, in many parts of the world, investing in #RSE isn't even considered, and certainly not as a career. And at least one of those places has plenty of idle HPC resources, including the most sought after GPUs. Coincidence? I don't know what percentage #RSE is of what matters, but it matters.

ok, triggered 😅, but I've been known...

Now I'm questioning whether I'm really an "#HPC person": not only not triggered, I've been known to strongly defend a couple of those statements...

Even then, one needs to take into account that there are often good reasons to *want* utilization to be somewhat below 100%, for instance so that there's room for shorter and/or more urgent workloads to run

Does rebooting student lab PCs into Linux at night count? Again, not HPC, but it did use (loosely coupled) MPI. And the code was in Fortran 77! Surely that counts 😬

I did once (~20 years ago) run something similar on Excel (for the benefit of the consulting firm I was freelancing for), via an extension that embedded R (which I had no experience with). Not HPC, but certainly wacky 😅
