They used to maintain the air conditioners in the IBM TS4500 tape libraries my team ran at NERSC. Weird crossover into HPC, but those nVents kept the tapes from getting sticky when the fog came in every evening.

He will be there in our hearts. And pinned to my lanyard.

For those who don’t get on the VIP Microsoft party list, VAST is co-sponsoring The Petaflop at the same time. You know that party will be good; there’s a disclaimer that starts with “State law prohibits us from…”

I’ll be at both.

#SC25

Weather looks nice! But I hear it’s going to rain most of the week of SC.

At the risk of forming some kind of singularity, I will be having separate fireside chats with TWO of my former employers next week at #SC25, NERSC and Microsoft. If you wanna see what we can drag out of each other (or just have free breakfast), please register:

Good luck man! Huge loss for the Lab and UC, but also a chance to learn something new about yourself and the world.

Can you explain how that would work in this case? VAST isn’t an investor in CoreWeave, nor is CoreWeave an investor in VAST.

Boy I might’ve set expectations too high. I hope VAST brings the socks to #SC25 now because I don’t have enough in my personal stock to satisfy demand.

I will hold back a pair for you too. But you might have to visit the VAST booth (or our secret restaurant) to actually pick them up!

Hopefully this isn’t the year St. Louis is empty because of US dysfunction instead of COVID.

Tasty, but not as nice as these beauties.
