• Brain full from #OpenSpeedShop tutorial this morning at #SC10 very useful but boy was the room cold! #
• Finally found one other Aussie here at #SC10 and briefly seen another in the distance, now where's all the rest ?! 🙂 #
• Yay a 3rd Aussie found! #sc10 #
• The problem with btrfs and transparent huge pages is not a THP bug, it's just exposing an already existing kernel bug 🙁 #
• Asia has 3 of the top 5 of the #Top500 (China at #1 + #3 Japan at #4 , the US just has #2 + #5 http://bit.ly/cnYMvi #
• 8192 core prototype #IBM #BlueGene/Q in the #Top500 at #115 "NNSA/SC Blue Gene/Q Prototype" http://bit.ly/bunqMp #
• 7,040 core Amazon Compute Cloud Instance makes it to #231 of the #Top500 – http://bit.ly/cvvK8T #
• That #Amazon compute instance on the #Top500 uses 880 nodes, so that's $1.4K per hour for a Top500 rated system. #hpc #
• In parallel performance tools hands on workshop, pressive stuff! Sadly #RHEL6 kernel is too old for the tools.. 🙁 #
• That's an old tweet, held in stasis since the workshop this afternoon after #SC10 wifi fell over. :-/ #
• Had a great time at the #Beowulf bash tonight at #SC10 a shout out to Penguin Computing for organising a great night! #
• For #Top500 they count 32 nVidia cores as 1 traditional CPU core. #SC10 #
• Poor old Roadrunner, first petaflop system now at #7 on #Top500 #SC10 #
• #1 from China is 2.56PF @ 4MW, #2 at ORNL is 1.76PF @ almost 7MW #top500 #sc10 #
• Presentation of #1 certificate to NSC in China #top500 #sc10 http://twitpic.com/37h91u #SC10 #
• Presentation of #1 certificate to NSC in China #top500 #sc10 http://twitpic.com/37h9di #SC10 #
• Cray is now #1 vendor of the #Top500 on 2 counts (I missed what they were) #SC10 #
• Award of #4 to CEA+Bull, 1st PF machine in Europe #top500 http://twitpic.com/37hb20 #SC10 #
• CEA+Bull #4 system is about 84 pc efficient, most efficient. Claim they'll be back in 10 yearsw with exascale. #top500 #SC10 #
• Last #top500 was well below Moore's law, this one is almosy back on track, but still below the line. #SC10 #
• Uni of Texas n Austin win HPCC part of #SC10 student competition with a 1.07TF system in 26A #
• China is now #2 in terms of both performance and installed systems on the #top500 #SC10 #
• The Chinese are coming! #Top500 http://twitpic.com/37hg46 #SC10 #
• Aha, so Cray are #1 for systems in the top 50 of the #top500 IBM are #1 overall. #SC10 #
• Interesting #Top500 BOF at #SC10 followed by excellent #SGI party on Bourbon St, New Orleans! 🙂 #
• #VPAC (booth #2501 has lots of free koala's, no details necessary! They've got 3,000 to get rid off. 🙂 #SC10 #
• I don't like tobacco advertising either, but censoring peoples Internet to try and block it would be crazy #nocleanfeed #
• In Australian #SKA talk at #SC10 plenty of folks here, talking about how it works and the data deluge – 1EB a week! #
• Estimate about 10-100 PB per *hour* for the #SKA #SC10 #
• Hmm, I wonder what #LinkedIn does if you accept 2 invitations from the same person ? 🙂 #
• One final #SKA fact from a conversation with Tim after his #SC10 talk, they expect 1-2Tb/s from *each* antenna on the SKA #
• If you are wondering, #SKA is the proposed "Square Kilometre Array" radio telescope @ Australia or South Africa #SC10 #
• So #Australia now has 4 systems on the #Top500 (51, 87, 144, 160), all in the top 200! http://bit.ly/ciFJIb #SC10 #
• Summary of the 4 teams DARPA funded for disruptive tech in #hpc global address space + locality for teh win. #SC10 #
• What on earth is "weatherization" ? #
• The prototype #IBM BG/Q tops the #Green500 at 1684 MFlops/W compared to #2 (a GPU system) at 958 MFlops/W. #sc10 #hpc #
• .@rektide they're all working towards exascale and concur that new architectures mean new execution models for codes #
• "Automake is your friend, like a bully on the playground. Give it your lunch money and it won't beat you up" @jsquyres #
• The #Kubuntu #KDE PPA ppl have built 4.5.3 for 10.04 (previous was 4.5.1). Downloading at over 200KB/s on hotel network! #
• "FlowChecker: Detecting Bugs in MPI Libraries via Message Flow Checking" – nice #SC10 student paper – hope it's released! #
• Just ordered a fruit platter for dinner – kiwi, orange, pineapple, melon, berries, yum! Making amends for #SC10 food. 🙂 #
• "FlowChecker: Detecting Bugs in #MPI Libraries […]" – abstract http://bit.ly/ctTlAV – PDF http://bit.ly/cvESJp #SC10 #
• Whole city of New Orleans is without water according to hotel reception, due to a water pipeline #fail #NOWater #
• Good job I've still got my glass of water left from dinner! #nolawater #
• Steve Martin: Atheists Don't Have No Songs http://youtu.be/ADNesm6F27U – awesome! 🙂 #atheism #
• #SC10 was a good conference, so nice to not be tied to a booth at last! Now if only the coffee was good in New Orleans.. #
• To be fair, I did find that PJ's on Canal St did OK coffee, + was a Community Coffee Shop in French Qtr that was OK. #sc10 #
