Congrats to IU alum and visionary @thoefler on yet another award. A duty to help data scientists succeed with their tools bs using HPC tools is a perspective that is on point.

Please consider supporting our annual summer adventures or passing on the word! gofund.me/5b2d16b9

Inspiring #CUG2023 keynote presentation by Prof. @MinnaPalmroth Minna Palmroth, @helsinkiuni, Copernicus Medal 2023 winner. Daring to think of the impossible: The story of Vlasiator “To predict, we need to understand! “ #HPC #Space

Congrats @verolero86 @ORNL for the @CrayUserGroup @HPE_Cray #CUG2023 Best Paper award 🥇! Efforts were lead by Verónica with collaborative efforts from multiple group experts! Kudos! The paper is about the acceptance test plan & challenges faced to deploy C5 system. #HPC

@glennklockwood @rabernat JS2 has push button dynamically scaling virtual clusters that back science gateways, workflow utilities allowing one to launch apps directly from repos, and cloud native storage. It's one of many NSF-funded cloud projects. PRs are perhaps not the best technical documentation.

@rabernat Managed, scalable services to relieve HPC users from managing their own bucket of parts. Just like trad HPC provides Slurm as a Service, why not Kubernetes as a Service on Jetstream? Or serverless functions, event handling, georeplication… All commercial CSPs provide these.

I'm late to the Jetstream2 announcement party, but I am surprised NSF's cloud is still focused on providing VMs and not moving up the value chain. Jetstream2 Cloud HPC System Enters Production - hpcwire.com/2022/09/15/jet…

@KLM @Delta Bag mysteriously arrived without notice from KLM after web tracing broke and no claims acknowledged/processed. Bag was given a full lab analysis after spending >5 weeks alone in AMS.

@KLM needs a lesson by @Delta. Baggage gone for 8 days post-ISC. KLM Crown Lounge couldn’t get baggage staff to answer the phone. Call center is useless, tells me I might see claim $ in “2-3 months.” Be kind, I notified a fellow ISC attendee when I found his bag since you didn’t.

@Delta @cynthiajajones @KLM Thanks, unfortunately this is not an issue Delta can help with (despite their desire to help). Just pointing out I know you'd do better than your code-shared partner in helping me resolve the issue!

@cynthiajajones @HPCrooster @KLM If you need assistance, please reach out via chat or call 1-800-325-8224.Thanks again for contacting us. Have a great day.

How can we put more student stories and lived experiences in front of IT professionals? Knowing who and why can be a powerful motivator and hopefully direct cultural changes. #swit22

@rknepper Awesome, I bet the pair well with fermented potatoes!

Repping fancy socks for that @HPCrooster vibe (Polish roosters of course)

@AxisOfMeh This is thanks to the talented Maria Morris and some great images from the IU archives. We wanted to go Bansky with it but opted for more subtle and still something she’d be proud of. It’s good for your data center to have art!

Breakfast is ready now, hard to resist until the morning!

@AxisOfMeh 😢So sorry, our furry companions have helped our survival more than we like to admit this past year.

@hpcprogrammer So happy for you all, I was emotional just *scheduling* the appointment for my father, has to feel great!

@hpcnotes It was a good first day but the in person networking and Swiss scenery can never be replaced with virtual sessions! Thanks for sharing your ROI/TCO thoughts!

I'm in Switzerland today (virtually!) for the #SOS24 workshop: sos24.cscs.ch/program/ This year's theme is: "Will #HPC Survive the #Cloud and in What Form?"

@hpcprogrammer We inherited a 10 year old Bose system in our current house when we moved. Using some RCA to speaker wire plugs was an easy way to to at least put part of the system to use with a current receiver. I did use the head unit for summer movie night with a projector a couple times.

Preparing snacks bags and other donations for @horizonhousein for our day on. Humbled by my eldest insisting on spending her own money to add to what we were collecting.

Oh and this seemed like an appropriate selection to free more space afterwards.

Definitely not my best work but a small bit of woodworking did provide a nice mental health boost. Poplar may not be the best choice but I like the unfinished look and it's cheaper than some of the hardwood alternatives. 2020 seems to have opened up some bottle space. 🤔

Cried hard recounting to my eldest *why* the post-Katrina response sickened me, but got me off the couch to go help rebuild, and *why* it now motivates us to serve in Mexico annually. I wish it hadn’t taken the events of this week to show those feelings to her. Still growing.
