Building sftware in research can feel like a hazing ritual. Spack was created to address that, and so far the results have been amazing. youtu.be/eW0kK4PUKdY
He swore he'd never write a package manager. Then he built Spack. Full conversation on YouTube — link below #hpc #ScientificSoftware #supercomputing #opensource
Your mouse runs on thousands of open-source packages. Science relies on even more. How is AI changing that? #OpenSource #AI #HPC #SoftwareEngineering #ScientificComputing #TechExplained
Your next medicine will be designed by code, driven by AI. Dr Nathan Brown is working in the middle of all this. and gives us some great insights into the field, almost from an outsider's perspective. I really got a lot out of this discussion. I hope you do too. youtu.be/18ZcYxOQtaE
Quantum leaps in battery tech? Aionics is pushing the boundaries with their AI-powered material design. Dive into their HPC workflows on AWS to see how they're making it happen. # aws.amazon.com/blogs/hpc/ho...
Large behavioral models - yes, that's a thing.And the very smart people at the Toyota Research Institute have built one so it can set a breakfast table amongst other things. I talked with my buddy Tom Burggraf, who had the scoop on this, Very cool. www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7Ro...
Happy Halloween, fellow nerds. Hope the Deadlock DJ doesn't get you thios weekend. If he does, you're more than welcome to come and cry over a beer with us at SC'25. Booth #2207.
What kind of nerd are you? You can reveal your inner geek with us and tell us about the hard problems you're tryiong to solve that'll make the world generally nicer for all of us. We're att booth #2207 in the SC'25 expo hall. Or book a meeting with our exec yeam: day1hpc.com/sc25/

Slurm Accounting is like when Scarecrow got a brain at the end of Wizard of Oz: it makes for smarter decisions about job placement and execution in a busy HPC environment. Matt talks about how this works in this week's podcast. youtu.be/6KW2fD0yTgw
We've just released a massive dataset of 16,000+ protein-ligand complexes on AWS. Dive into the atomic-level dynamics and unlock new insights for drug discovery. #MachineLearning #StructuralBiology aws.amazon.com/blogs/hpc/da...
Wondering about which is which: Parallel Computing Service or ? They're not the same thing, and choosing the right one might save you a lot of work later. youtu.be/vB9GNWA5fws
AWS Parallel Computing Service (PCS) now offers expanded Slurm configuration capabilities. Customize over 65 parameters and apply settings to specific queue resources. Align your cloud HPC environment with your on-premises workflows. aws.amazon.com/blogs/hpc/an...
