The #hpc #top500 is out again.

While in someways it is nice to see two European systems in the top 5, it’s worth remembering that the terms of the #EuroHPC deal are very restrictive (the UK cannot play) and Europe has invested far less in software than it has in hardware.

Most communities can’t make much use of these behemoths. It’s not just a matter of porting (which itself may not be trivial), but some algorithms just don’t have enough easily accessible parallelism.

A very informative meeting.

Yesterday we had a meeting of the #euroHPC container forum at the @EuroHPC_JU summit.
I gave an update on the 'HPC Container Conformance' project with some ideas on how labels and annotations relate to each other. I put this into a blog post as well.

It was a great workshop with many interesting talks. If you want to see me running out of time while talking about #DestinationEarth and the #HPC adaptation challenges targeting #EuroHPC for #DestinE, check out the recording!

Inaugurato al Tecnopolo di Bologna il supercomputer Leonardo.
Supercomputer Leonardo: ecco come funziona e a cosa servirà. Le applicazioni, le informazioni tecniche e il bando rivolto a progetti che potranno sfruttare le risorse computazionali. La super macchina diventerà pienamente operativa per gli utenti a fine marzo 2023.

I have been silently reading along here for two days while getting acquainted with the platform, so I guess it's high time for the customary #introduction:

I'm a computational scientist in the performance and portability team at #ECMWF, mostly working on getting the IFS ("euro model") run on GPUs - amongst others to ready #DestinationEarth's digital twins for #EuroHPC's current pre-Exascale and upcoming supercomputers.
