- Rollercoaster for #SC26 for me: I had a lot of fun chairing the applications paper track, then I got my favourite workshop paper rejected, and now my @shareing.bsky.social team got a BoF talk and a poster through. Let's continue with the highs! See you all in Chicago.
- Only slightly biased, but I think well-deserved! [contains quote post or other embedded content]
- Another great @durham-comp-sci.bsky.social talk by Chung on his UQ work and load balancing at #PPAM2026
- My @cake-dri.bsky.social colleague @nickbrown-hpc.bsky.social gives an enthusiastic talk on RISC-V. Nice to see and hear about the different pathways of ARM and RISC-V.
- Mladen presents our work on SPH offloading to GPUs at #PPAM2026. Slight hickups with the mic, but then really exciting talk.
