cibuildwheel π is out! (3.1.4). A few nice things, like --clean-cache, Android fixes, and new versions of things like CPython 3.14rc2. Note for iOS on GHA/Azure, you need macOS-14, Microsoft broke macOS-15 images for iOS (WRT CPython's test runner, anyway) github.com/pypa/cibuild...

Please don't hate me, but I will publish a tiny proceedings paper in which I list a single CPU core not far from a full GPU, because I wanted to learn how bad/good our serial vectorization is before OpenMP and MPI parallelization.

I also want to do the cardinal sin of benchmark presentation, ok?!

The 13th MVAPICH User Group (MUG) Conference is coming up (Aug 18-20 in Columbus). It's a great event for focused technical presentations around MPI and network performance. Great speaker lineup too. Wish I could make it in-person, but virtual attendance is free

💥Spack v1.0 is out!💥

This is a huge milestone. We reworked the core to add compiler dependencies, and we're introducing a stable package API.

🚀1.0 also adds concurrent builds, better includes, and much more -- read it all in the release notes!

All things, with one exception, have to end

After years of sharing #HPC news and insights, it's time to log off

It was fun while it lasted and I remain grateful to all of you who followed and interacted

Stay curious, stay kind!
