Exciting finds are the coming of very open (Open Compute Project, Coreboot + Open Network Linux) white-box 100GBE switches at reasonable prices, Fujitsu’s A64fx ARM with SVE and obscene memory bandwidth parts actually landing in systems, and (just because it tickled me) pre-wired fully populated Clos topology 100G cable harnesses.\u00a0 The other dominant species was AI woo; my body is ready for AI Winter 3.0.<\/p>\n Google photos album of my annotated show floor photos is here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Even though I haven’t done any work in that area in years, I got pulled into the Supercomputing conference again this year.\u00a0 Can’t complain, it’s always fun.\u00a0 UK’s combined booth looked good this year Far corner is a little updated … Continue reading <\/a><\/p>\n
