In recent years, we’ve all been amazed at how large areas of scientific computing have moved to abstract their workflows away from the details of systems and cluster architecture. Bioinformatics has really lead the way in this regard - …

Arm and AWS are jointly sponsoring a summer hackathon that’s being run by the Arm HPC User group (A-HUG - and definitely we send a hug to everyone out there). The goal of the hackathon is to get loads of codes with Spack recipes …

Some workloads generate a LOT of output files and sometimes quite suddenly. For codes like OpenFOAM, this is data that you may not need until later when you run a post-processing job. Given the amount of data isn’t always predictable, there …

In the search for HPC application performance, there’s more than one way to build a network. HPC applications (or “codes” as we usually call them) are often at the mercy of the network underpinning an HPC cluster. If your CPUs aren’t busy, …
