#pearc2023 — Public Fediverse posts

Any #Pearc2023 people around and want to meet at the Spirit of 77 next to the Oregon Convention Center? My flight out of Portland does not leave until tomorrow 🛫

My #HPC container BoF at #pearc2023 was a huge success today. Even though it was scheduled at 8:00 AM, we still had a great turnout. Thank you to everyone who attended!

Attended the #OpenXDMoD community BoF session at #Pearc2023 earlier. Great to see that they are working on deprecating Highcharts in favour of plotly.js!

Seeing XDMoD become fully open source is awesome because it means that XDMoD can become easily distributed via Linux distribution package repositories

Intel is giving out free books at #Pearc2023 about using OpenAPI. Grabbed myself a copy!

Day 4 of #Pearc2023 about to start! Nice sunny day in Portland, Oregon.

Had great time meeting the folks of #OpenHPC and Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center last night!

Now that Day 3 of #Pearc2023 has wrapped, it's time for the after party hosted by #Penguin and #DDN. Great people!

Another packed room at #Pearc2023

Everyone is excited to learn more about #Globus timers!

Day 3 of #Pearc2023 under way! Today's agenda is to attend the main plenary session and then attend various talks.

My favorite thing from yesterday was seeing the #Spack developers using #Ubuntu virtual machines on #AWS to provide attendees with environments for playing with Spack. Looking forward to the talks today.

During the #Pearc2023 lunch break, I took some time to swing by one of my favourite open source HPC projects, #OpenOndemand. Chatted with one of the project's engineers about how they integrate with other projects to provide a comprehensive HPC cluster management suite.

Of course I snagged some merch - what is a software engineer without laptop stickers?

One of my favourite slides from the #Spack workshop at #Pearc2023. This slide provides a great explanation for why HPC clusters need special-purpose package managers rather than using traditional Linux package managers like apt and dnf.

Next time I have someone ask me why I do not just use apt for installing software, I will just send them this slide 😅

Time to start #Pearc2023 day 2! Today's agenda is to attend the Managing HPC Software Complexity with #Spack workshop. I'm definitely excited to take a deep-dive into the package manager after listening to their #FOSDEM talks earlier this year.

All checked and ready to go for #HPC conference #Pearc2023 in Portland. Today I am attending the Symposium on Challenges & Opportunities in Containerization of Scientific Software & Data Products. Will be interesting to see how other HPC folks are using Singularity and Docker for HPC. Maybe I'll talk up Sarus and enroot too 😉

Side note - I feel so official with my name tag

Noticed on my way to the #HPC conference #Pearc2023 that my infotainment system had built in microtransactions. Didn't realize that United Airlines was down that bad 👀

I am excited to announce that I will be attending #pearc2023 in Portland, Oregon this year to chat about all things #ubuntu, #hpc, and #scientificcomputing. I will be joining several of my former colleagues to lead a BoF panel session about container usage and training at HPC centers. You can read up more about our panel here: https://ubuntu.com/blog/meet-canonical-at-pearc23

Attending PEARC 2023, or interest in using Ubuntu for your HPC work, and want to meet up? Feel free to send me a DM here!
