As hybrid #HPC + #AI + #Quantum workflows become more prevalent, orchestration of complex systems is becoming a key component of successful deployment. Looking forward to accelerating these capabilities for the open-source community.

This is a great article that explains the philosophical innovations behind NERSC’s new supercomputer: science is not just about batch jobs anymore. Draw the good ideas from AI infra advances into #HPC as possible. Definitely worth reading. Also, they’re using GPFS instead of Lustre(!)

Since there seems to be some confusion about this for some reason: No, Nvidia has not removed FP64 from Blackwell. In fact, it is significantly faster than Hopper. Anyone who tells you differently is probably selling something.
