#IBMPower systems support a number of different #Linux distributions including #RHEL, #SUSE, #Ubuntu, #AlmaLinux and #RockyLinux. This blog titled "Rocky Linux on IBM Power Really Rocks" from the team at #TachosHPC discusses their experience with #RockyLinux on #IBM #POWER10 from the #HPC context. https://tachoshpc.com/rocky-linux-on-ibm-power-really-rocks/

I run happen to run @AlmaLinux on my dual socket #POWER9 server at home. This blog by the folks at #TachosHPC discusses #RockyLinux on #IBMPower systems in the context of #HPC https://tachoshpc.com/rocky-linux-on-ibm-power-really-rocks/ #POWER10

#Europe Takes Another Whack At Homegrown Compute Engines
Digital Autonomy with #RISCV in Europe, Project "#DARE" is very much focused on #HPC even if it does have potential #AI use cases. Funded by #EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, the same pan-European organization that has funded pre-exascale and #exascale systems. A total of 38 different organizations, have joined up to work collaboratively on three different RISC-V compute engines.

DOE INCITE Program Seeks 2026 Proposals for Computing Innovation

The Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment, or INCITE, program has announced the 2026 Call for Proposals, inviting researchers to apply for access to some of the world’s most powerful high-performance computing systems.

The program allocates node-hours on Frontier at ORNL and Polaris and Aurora at ANL. Awards typically range from 250,000 to 1,000,000 node-hours.

TACC's upcoming leadership supercomputer, Horizon, is at risk due to steep cuts to NSF. Sounds like its fate is locked up in argument between Congress and the White House.

I have a small set of linux machines (~5) that are mostly sitting idle. How can I turn it into a modest #CoW (cluster of workstations) so that people can easily submit long-running jobs to it?

Jobs will be mostly written in #rstats and #python .

What's a good entry-level setup for this? Easy to maintain, easy to use, nothing fancy.

I haven't done anything like that for at least 10 years, I'm sure things have moved on since then.

Thanks!

Last year at the Open Science Retreat (#OSR24NL) I have been introduced to nanopubs by @egonw and created my first nanopub declaring citations for a paper using CiTOs (citation ontologies).

Now, travelling to #OSR25CH, due to issues with the train network foreseen with plenty of time, I use the opportunity and created a new one ( https://w3id.org/np/RAicq7k9QHX8EG8ho7Baib9GxHsU18O0tyFCZ4tbbGGPA ) for my latest publication on teaching #Snakemake on #HPC systems.

The teaching material is — again — in desperate need of additions and overhaul, but that is for another day.
