Hi everyone! After several years of social media detox, finally decided to join you. I spend most of my time doing physics, and developing (debugging) scientific codes while listening to music.
#introductions

I’m still fascinated by the efficiency of the MPI_reduce communication patterns. Rolled a custom reduction operation, welded it to a production code and workload seems to be nicely balanced!

Thanks everyone who tuned-in. Here's the recording of stream for those who couldn't join: https://stream.jnktn.tv/LiveApp/streams/247027430723978850738566.mp4

Nov. 2020’s top 500 list is already out. The new kid on the block, FZJ’s JUWELS Booster Module (AMD EPYC + NVIDIA A100 / InfiniBand) is the fastest in Germany and also in Europe now (#7 worldwide). HLRS’s Hawk (AMD EPYC / InfiniBand) is another addition to the list at #16, right after the LRZ’s SuperMUC-NG.
See the full list here: https://www.top500.org/lists/top500/2020/11/

If you are not already fed up of my weird taste in music, grab your headphones and join the first episode of the “unpopular stream”: An hour-long curated non-mainstream sounds from witch house to dark ambient and every genre in between!

We’re planning to stream this series every 3rd Friday of the month (today!) at 20:00 UTC on https://jnktn.tv

Good news everyone! This weekend’s cheesy movie is finally released! 🤩

I convinced my boss to move our team form the Slack to the Mattermost.

Next step: persuade the Mattermost system admin to install a Meowmoji pack!

OpenMP architecture review board released version 5.1 of the OpenMP API.

FYI, it is going to be streamed over the YouTube too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KPcz7t9EeM

I mirrored all my github repos on the @codeberg. I have to double-check and archive the github ones after everything is settled down. I hope codeberg to get a proper CI/CD integration, searching tool for the documentations, and RST rendering support soon.

My two cents after staring at random asm codes, and core dump data for a day:

Don’t trust the address sanitizer's crash reports of a thread-unsafe parallel code.

Listen to the silence between the notes/noise! #fediplay

“Getting over it” is a deep dive in our digital culture which is presented using a video game engine. It is definitely more “game-like” [in its traditional sense] than the likes of “The Beginner's Guide” or “The Stanley Parable”. But the gaming mechanism is there just to create an immersive experience.
