Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-02-27

Posted on February 27, 2011 by Chris Samuel
  • Butterfly on an iris flower in the rain http://flic.kr/p/9jwaC6 #
  • Wow, @IBM BladeNetworks now do a 1U switch that can do up to 64-ports of 10 gigabit ethernet! http://bit.ly/gfnl4B #hpc #
  • Fighting COMSOL to see if I can get it to play nicely with Torque, it uses Intel-MPI but hides everything behind wrappers #
  • So the mpd.py command line that COMSOL runs fails on first connect, but works if you run same command by hand! #hpc #
  • Considering replacing the Intel-MPI mpiexec launcher in #COMSOL with a script to call the saner OSC mpiexec.. #
  • Yay! My wrapper script works! Now I need more than 3GB of RAM *per process* because COMSOL starts Eclipse as MPI tasks #
  • Large moth on a blind in our bedroom http://flic.kr/p/9jRWuD #
  • #Christchurch has run out of ambulances due to number of injured following #eqnz 🙁 #
  • At least 17 dead in #eqnz in Christchurch according to #TV3 #
  • 65 confirmed dead in Christchurch #eqnz #
  • Work colleague's parents are OK in Christchurch, but their house has collapsed. 🙁 #eqnz #
  • Does anyone know if the people from the #BlueFern #HPC facility at Christchurch in NZ are OK ? #eqnz #
  • From a friends toy – "Do not sleep with Zhu Zhu pet" er… http://flic.kr/p/8gAYPm #
  • Keep getting flashbacks to #Babylon5 when I hear about military defecting from #Libya and refusing to carry out bad orders #
  • Sadly not about Wales, but does involve coffee.. RT @Flickr Canofaffenol anyone? http://bit.ly/e4pRpq #
  • Advantage of DAB+ radio, @abcnews have brought up a dedicated #eqnz radio channel for folks with relatives in Christchurch #
  • New DAB+ digital radio channel for #eqnz news is "ABC NZEarthquake" and is apparently rebroadcasting Radio New Zealand #
  • Gah, COMSOL+MATLAB fails in a batch system with a Java exception because *xterm* isn't installed! WHAT!! #hpc #
  • Now know why COMSOL+MATLAB don't play nicely, the ability to run them together in a batch system was removed in 4.0! #hpc #
  • About to try upgrading @WordPress 3.0.5 to 3.1.0 via SVN, wish me luck – first take a backup.. 😉 #
  • #COMSOL 4.x won't work with MATLAB in batch system, COMSOL 3.5x will work in a batch system but not in parallel. 1/2 #HPC #
  • So does that mean the version of #COMSOL before 3.5 would work in a batch system and in parallel ? 🙂 (2/2) #HPC #
  • Looks like #Iran #039;s new #hpc cluster is #Supermicro based, http://bit.ly/hF4l0W #
  • I reckon good chance #Iran #039;s new #HPC cluster is #GPU based, compare: http://bit.ly/ehvUPa & http://bit.ly/ed58lN #nvidia #
  • Why you shouldn't use Java for #HPC (non-deterministic floating point conversions) http://t.co/uts2Ixs via @myrddian #
  • Just figured out my #Vodafone voicemail settings have been b0rked since I got back from #SC10 my fault though! 🙁 #
  • Finally snagged a copy of photo of 1U GPU nodes from #Iran #039;s new supercomputer, updated blog http://bit.ly/h3lW7s #hpc #
  • Avebury Landscape Photography Workshop – National Trust http://t.co/n8okRYQ #
  • Is it just me, or does @WordPress 3.1 no longer email you when you approve a comment that was waiting to be moderated ? #
  • Update my blog post on #Iran #039;s supercomputers after Jeff Johnson spotted 4-in-2U compute nodes http://bit.ly/h3lW7s #hpc #
  • Updated #Iran supercomputer blog, cannot find 89TF in Iranian reports + pictured #HPC is not big one: http://bit.ly/h3lW7s #
