- This postdoc post might be interesting to people: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4389017624/
- If you are still looking for a PhD, https://www.exageo.org/phd-student-projects/ still seems to have a project open on “Mixed-precision multigrid for weather and climate applications”. Might be of interest for @miscada.bsky.social students!
- Break from panels and time to see a 1 MW wood "fired" (pellet cooled) supercomputer.
- We will host a @vi-hps.mast.hpc.social.ap.brid.gy in about a month. Would be great to see a wide variety of communities. The workshop is, as always, organised in collaboration with the performance analysis tool developers themselves under the umbrella of the HAI-End / @shareing.bsky.social https://www.vi-hps.org/training/tws/tw49.html
- And another great pitch. This time Eva Fernandez Amez pitches our @shareing.bsky.social project.
