Twitter Weekly Updates for 2012-06-24

Posted on June 24, 2012 by Chris Samuel
  • Lots of people complaining about cost cutting @ The Age. I wonder how many buy it? If you don't then you're the cause.. #
  • OK, Firefox Auto-Refresh extension installed, @top500supercomp June 2012 list page selected, auto-refresh 1 minute. #hpc #
  • Ooh, the @top500supercomp website is currently being updated! 🙂 #top500 #isc2012 #
  • New #Top500 is out, #VLSCI is #31 with Avoca, our BG/Q! Sequoia at LLNL is #1 with 16PF #hpc #isc2012 #
  • Actually #VLSCI is really tied for the #29 place in #top500 with EDF and IDRIS/GENCI in France.. 🙂 #hpc #
  • Australia – #31 (VLSCI), #139 (NCI/ANU), #156 (CSIRO), #248 iVEC), #301 (graphics company), #454 (Defence) on #top500 #hpc #
  • Bug in #Linux RAID/MD code can lose config for assembling arrays on reboot http://t.co/F0tC0ybp via @lwnnet #
  • Microsoft launched tablets, ARM will have secure boot but x86 one should allow secure boot to be disabled. #Linux anyone? #
  • Wow, #earthquake in #Melbourne #
  • So that #melbquake beats my first experience of an earthquake in Tokyo in 2000.. #
  • Sigh, the Geoscience Australia earthquake site is already down.. 🙁 #
  • USGS puts epicenter of #melbquake between Trafalgar and Narracan near Moe in Gippsland. #earthquake #
  • Could @774melbourne + @abc_investigate look at why Geoscience Australia's site failed making people to use USGS? #melbquake #
  • In other earthshattering news (sorry), it's just 3C outside at the moment.. almost getting cold! #
  • ALP (and I presume Liberal/National coalition given it was their idea) are committed to unconstitutional school chaplains #
  • Interesting times, @fusionio have now picked up 2 key #btrfs developers, Chris from Oracle and @josefbacik from Red Hat. #
  • Just over 1/3rd way through Homo Britannicus by Chris Stringer, learned 2 new terms already: "vole clock" and "alder carr" #
  • Analysis of flint tool reworking by early Neanderthals in Channel Islands shows ratio of right to left handers same as now #
  • Just under 47 seconds to compile Perl 5.16.0 with make -j on our 32 core Power7 box (BG/Q service node). 🙂 #
  • Pulling my hair out – why does a RHEL6 #Linux NFSv4 mount not permit suid binaries to run on the client? (errno=-EACCES) #
  • User got free 30%+ speed boost running Trinity when I asked them to move from HSM filesystem to scratch filesystem 🙂 #hpc #
  • Journalists covering #top500 IBM BlueGene/Q does *NOT* run #Linux it runs IBM Compute Node Kernel (CNK). #hpc #
  • Only the BlueGene/Q IO nodes and support infrastructure (service nodes and front end nodes) run #RHEL6 #Linux. #hpc #
  • Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Linux, but I prefer reporting of it (on the #top500 to be accurate. #
  • Just because the #Top500 website says IBM BlueGene/Q runs #Linux doesn't make it true.. #hpc #
  • Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Linux, but I prefer reporting of it (on the #top500 and elsewhere) to be accurate. #
  • Belgrave Lantern Parade http://t.co/wGTsTt3s #
  • I liked a @YouTube video http://t.co/DUnMqASL UNDER MILK WOOD. #
