Figured out if you give pplacer (within GTDB-Tk) 3Tb of RAM and only one core it virtually never crashes Thanks @adrianjhpc!

Our file system #GekkoFS makes it to the Top 10 in the @IO500benchmark 10-node challenge, proving that ephemeral file systems using @intelhpc’s DCPMM have a lot in store for HPC applications! vi4io.org/io500/list/20-07/1…

I/O lag is a major constraint for #HPC performance. Find out why @EPCCed tapped persistent memory to solve its exascale challenges.

The RAMP project will contribute to UK efforts to model the #COVID19 pandemic. Here's EPCC Director @mark_epcc talking about RAMP in @TheScotsman today: bit.ly/3dCfQvT RAMP urgent call: bit.ly/2Jmm7he @royalsociety

We're part of a nationally coordinated effort to provide access for researchers to #hpc and #data resources for #COVID19 research which is just getting of the ground. One example of such resources are these large memory nodes. More details should be available shortly #HPC
If anyone has large memory requirements for COVID-19 simulation work, get in touch. We have 3TB nodes that could be made available. @nextgenio #hpc #COVID19

I gathered my notes and thoughts from SC'19 and posted them here: glennklockwood.blogspot.com/… As always, it came out way longer than I anticipated.

🏆 BSC takes one of top spots in the IO500’s “10-Node Challenge” at #SC19 with GekkoFS. This ephemeral file system was developed in partnership with @uni_mainz as part of the @EU_H2020 @nextgenio project and Germany’s SPPEXA programme ▶ bsc.es/ZYo

Some huge results on the @IO500benchmark latest list, nearly double the highest score from the main list compared to ISC19, and just under 5x the previous highest score for the 10 node challenge list! Great results for @intelhpc as well with DAOS and @nextgenio prototype system
