Congratulations to Scott Barcomb for successfully completing his Master project titled "Analyzing Parallelism and Performance in PyTorch".
His work sheds light on how #PyTorch hides where #parallelism happens.

Excited to share that our poster, β€œSeamless Scaling of Applications Across Programming Models”, has been accepted as an #SC25 ACM SRC Poster.

We compare coding complexity and performance of C++, Python, Julia, and DaphneDSL.

Looking forward to connecting with the #HPC community.

Excited to share our new IEEE Access paper: A Comparative Study of #OpenMP #Scheduling #Algorithm #Selection Strategies

We show how combining expert-based & reinforcement learning improves #HPC scheduling, cutting overheads in apps (SPHYNX, STREAM Tri), even beating β€œOracle”.

If you are at PASC25 this year, go listen to Reto talk about his master thesis work on rescaling GCsnap2. It was awesome to have Reto with us last year and collaborate so close with the @cflorina.bsky.social and @dmi-hpc.bsky.social to make our tool even more useful!

Did you know? πŸ‡³πŸ‡Ώ New Zealand is 2/3 the size of France but has about half the population of Switzerland!

It’s home to ~200 glaciers, 5x more sheep than people, and stunning landscapes like #Akaroa an old volcanic crater turned harbor.

Absolutely mesmerizing.

First time in New Zealand πŸ‡³πŸ‡Ώβ€”what an incredible experience! A land of breathtaking beauty, conserved nature, and a rich culture.

From the majestic Southern Alps to turquoise lakes, volcanic harbors, and the tiniest (and rarest) Hector’s dolphins, NZ is truly unique.
