Quantum computing requires high-performance software
I'm a Dad, Doom 64 Speedrunner, and a Linux Systems Engineer focusing on HPC at the University of Virginia. I've been into computers and configuring them since I can remember and I have finally found the job that I love that let's me work with my hobby in a laid back, chill, and interesting environment.
Let's chat about #Linux, #SteamDeck, #Subaru, #Android, #Gaming, and #HPC environments! Glad to meet you and thanks for stopping by!

What a year, isn’t it?
The new Guix-HPC annual report is out!
https://hpc.guix.info/blog/2025/02/guix-hpc-activity-report-2024/
Check out what we’re up to with #Guix in support of #HPC, #ReproducibleResearch, and #OpenScience.
Okay, I'm going to pin this one because it's probably the most important aspect of what I work for.
If you're a #graduate student in #Canada
You have access to all of the academic supercomputers and cloud computing facilities that are part of the Digital Research Alliance of Canada FOR FREE
Not sure how to use a supercomputer? We also do a lot of training!
There's no catch! I promise, there's no catch. Think of it like you think of your local library. You don't wonder why they let you in and read whatever you want for free, right?
Students need to make sure that their PI has created an account first, because they'll have to be approved as a member of a lab.
Run, don't walk to https://ccdb.alliancecan.ca/security/login and get started!
If you're a #faculty member in #Canada
Whatever the role, #lecturer, #researcher #researchAssociate it's the same thing for you! Just get your account before your students and staff. Same link.
If you're an academic research collaborator outside of #Canada
You can also use the resources for free if you get sponsored by a Canadian researcher that already has an account. Again, for free. As long as you use it for a project you both collaborate on, you're welcome!
Next week, we'll go through the yearly process of allocating resources to our power users. That process is basically like a grant application and that might also be interesting to some of you. I'll post about it when I'm in the thick of it, I guess!
New instance, new #Introduction
I have a couple other accounts out there but I'll keep this one as corporate as possible. Calcul Quebec's comms team has recently moved away from #X and is phasing out #Facebook. They insist on keeping #LinkedIn for quite valid reasons and they want to try #Bluesky, which is also fair. However, I want to prove that #Mastodon and the #Fediverse are just as valid for reach.
I'll mostly be talking about the #HPC and #Quantum research in #Quebec and #Canada
Posts will be French, English, or bilingual depending on the topic. Topics will range from #funding and #infrastructure to #research and #cybersecurity , along with possibly government announcements that might impact any parts of my work.
New #HPC Job! ️: Title: HPC Research Scientist
Location: Stockholm, Sweden
Employer: KTH Royal Institute of Technology
Remote: Remote friendly
https://kth.varbi.com/en/what:job/jobID:790896/
On this note: are you interested in #tech, #selfHosting, #science, #computationalScience, #HPC, #liberatoryTech, or just #POSIX in general but otherwise lack the resources, financial or otherwise? Get in touch with me and we can have a chat about maybe getting you some time. I can't promise when things will be ready or how much I can offer, but.
No generative AI training, please. 'Classic' ML that doesn't generate trash, contribute to surveillance, or rely on stolen data is fine though.

“Join the Guix-Science community!”
https://hpc.guix.info/blog/2025/01/join-the-guix-science-community/
Where we #ReproducibleResearch and #HPC users of #Guix report on our adventure moving to #Codeberg, coming up with suitable CI/CD support, and call for like-minded #OpenScience folks to join!
Today we're highlighting the #FluConf2025 theme on "Scaling down technology's climate impact".
We want to know how you estimate the footprint of your use of technology, and how that's contextualized against that of the broader technology industry.
How are you adjusting your approach to technology for a future (or present) of unreliable utilities? Has the increased risk of climate disasters in your region changed how you approach technology? How are you resisting the promotion of unnecessary high-performance computing?
Are you scheduling computation to coincide with higher renewable electricity production? Is there anything else you wish more people were talking about when it comes to these issues?
We are here to boost these topics!
Apply to be a part of FluConf2025:
Would you like to work in a job which let's you
+ learn and teach (topics such as parallel programming, GPU computing, AI/ML)?
+ provide expert advice for Swedish companies to access #HPC resources?
We are hiring as a team at @enccs.

"Blue Lion" – allein der Name klingt beeindruckend! Dahinter verbirgt sich der neue #Supercomputer, der am Leibniz Supercomputing Centre in München, einem der drei deutschen Höchstleistungsrechenzentren des Gauss Centre for Supercomputing, entstehen wird.
Die Kosten werden zu gleichen Teilen vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) und dem Bayerischen Staatsministerium für Wissenschaft und Kunst (#StMWK) getragen.
Just had someone in a call who wants to develop an #HPC compatible workflow system with a GUI for configuration files "because biologists demand GUIs!1!!!"
There are at least three general purpose workflow managers widely used in the life sciences and capable of working on HPC systems: #Nextflow, #Snakemake and - if you insist on a GUI #Galaxy can run on HPC systems, too. (And there are numerous other systems, too.)
Inventing yet another one, is folly.
Interested in any of #HPC or #supercomputing or #ai or #cloud etc?
Have you moved to BlueSky yet?
Read this from @boofla on why you should join the community there:
Dear Fediverse,
If you’re heading to Atlanta for #SC24, please consider buying a fridge magnet from the (major) city or country you’re leaving from, to help my 12y-old daughter expand the collection she started recently. I’ll cover the costs of the magnet, of course.
Please reply to let me (and others) know which cities are covered, and so we can plan the handover at SC’24 (I’ll be around Mon-Wed).
She already has a couple of nice ones, including Japanese ones, Montenegro, Marrakech, …
