Matters of Consequence

Matters of Consequence

Recently, I’ve been re-reading Antoine de Saint-Exupéry‘s The Little Prince, which incidentally turns 70 this year. It’s one of those books that is on my “re-read every year or two” list, as it helps remind me of some simple truths. On his journey that eventually brings him to the earth, the Little Prince visits several […]

Why Individual Metrics Like Linpack Aren’t the Future

Linpack rankings of computer systems are no longer so […]

It’s a time to reconnect and to celebrate the advances made by the community (the Top500, for example). I was on booth duty. 🙂 Now why would I […]

Me, the Top500 HPC Compute Node

Me, the Top500 HPC Compute Node

This month I embarked on a bit of an experiment by attempting to answer the question, “Can I successfully complete a nearly three-week, international, technical business trip without a laptop?” So, off I went, iPad in hand. No keyboard. No mouse. No safety net. It all comes down to the fact the computer age is evolving […]
