This week at @DACconference, we presented "Network design for wafer-scale systems with wafer-on-wafer hybrid bonding" in which we optimize the placement of reticles on the wafers in order to maximize the performance of the wafer-scale network.

Last week at #SIGIR, Patrick Iff presented “Benchmarking Filtered Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search Algorithms on Transformer-based Embedding Vectors.” We release a dataset with 2.7M transformer-based embeddings and benchmark 11 FANNS methods across diverse filter settings.

Successful #ICML26 week winding down: Learn about (1) weather model scaling laws from Yuejiang, (2) near-optimal quantization from Jiale, (3) sparse data scaling laws from Boqian, (4) algorithm for sparse training from Qiao, and (5) process reward agents byJiwoong, Tomasz et al

As #ISC26 is coming up, I wrote down thoughts on the central metric in our #HPC and #AI community: flop/s. A flop is a count; flop/s is a rate. FLOPS is yelling, flops is confusing, and “TFLOPS” is how unit symbols go to therapy.

What does it take to bring #cloud elasticity to #HPC without losing performance?
@copikmarcin keynote at HPC-AI Swiss Conference shared our work on Acceleration as a Service (#XaaS) with performance-portable containers + #serverless for HPC. Warm reception and great questions!
Many thanks to the organizers - @harake_hussein, @sflynx20, and the entire @cscsch for the invitation and putting together such a well-run, thought-provoking conference @hpccouncil !
