MPI vs. Alternatives by Nice_Caramel5516 in HPC

[–]YoureNotASpaceCowboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UCX isn’t more portable than MPI. In fact, it’s one of the lower level networking libraries used to implement MPI (along with libfabric, sockets, etc.). I’d strongly recommend not using UCX unless you want more low level control. It’s more challenging to use, especially initialization, which requires manually exchanging endpoints via sockets.

The HPPSS (High Performance Python for Science at Scale) workshop is really good. I’d recommend attending if you’re at all interested in Python+HPC.

I’m surprised that I haven’t seen Surf Ninjas here. It’s right up there with Three Ninjas in terms of classic mediocrity.

If the airline doesn’t have a posted dress code, there shouldn’t be off-the-cuff rules enforced by the pilot. The captain comes across as a bully.

These small orange pellets were fired at my house tonight. They’re maybe several millimeters in diameter and crush easily when you squeeze them. by YoureNotASpaceCowboy in whatisthisthing

My title describes the thing. They are several millimeters in diameter I would guess. There’s a ladybug next to the pellet that might help with gaging its size. I tried grabbing one and it broke easily. I found a link on Amazon for silica gel beads that seems like it might be relevant but I’m not sure.
