Congratulations to Marcin Chrapek for his successful PhD defense 🎓️. SPCL's 15th doctoral graduate released into the wild to do all kinds of good.
Study his papers to learn about confidential #HPC and secure #AI systems!
Thanks to all committee members for their insightful comments and presence.
Last reminder 🚨 . Only two days left to nominate your favorite young researcher in #HPC for the Jack Dongarra early career award!
One of the highest awards for young researchers in the field on honor of our dear friend Jack 🎓️.

Horst Simon, Amelie Koch, and the whole ADIA Lab team are great.
A unique chance!
I'll be there as well :-)
Rio Yokota on the #SCA2026 fishbowl panel: "I don't think humans are in any way more trustworthy than an advanced AI" - "In the same way we trust other humans, we could develop trust to AIs" - "If people or AI generate code - how do we know there is no bug inside?" profound thoughts by a wise man.
Yes, good point, need to fix the colors for big screens 😀
Great talk as always by @thoefler.bsky.social - fully of enthusiasm with mix of technical and asides - but we need to have a chat about legibility of your slides! 😁 (Eg red text on green background)

#UltraEthernet for Next Generation #AI and #HPC workloads
On the way to SCAsia 2026 in Japan! I'm honored to present the opening keynote to this year's record attendance of more than 2,500 people :-).
I'm thrilled to talk about Ultra Ethernet's technical highlights. Including a bit surprise reveal 🎉!
Looking forward to see many of you in Osaka this week!
Exciting Singapore AI Research Week Gala Dinner. I was honored to spend an insightful evening sitting next to the guest of honor - Josephine Teo, Minister for Digital Development and Information. A remarkable person!
Fun to also meet my AI Visiting Professor partners – Bryan Tan 🏥 and Jingyu Wang 🌏
Our discussion of challenged and opportunities with in-network collective communication for #AI has been featured in IEEE Computer's January issue 📖. Check out page 24ff!
It currently tops the list of trending articles 🚀.

A special memory of Piz Daint - once Europe's fastest and first large #GPU #supercomputer
After 13 years of service at #ETH #CSCS, it retired from service. Those two blades shall live on as a milestone in Swiss and European history!
Better than spatulas #nvidia? Enjoy the festive season 🎄 #AI #HPC
Switzerland, where you go with your hybrid car by electric train to the mountains 🏔️. Always cool.
Happy holidays! ❄️
With the year slowly winding down, we took a bit of time to get together, celebrate and reflect on the amazing 2025 journey and all the learnings and achievements during our Xmas dinner last Friday.🎄
Happy holidays & 2026, here we come!🚀🥳

NVIDIA explains why they used FP8 as a scaling factor in NVFP and not MXFP-style E8M0.
The idea is to preserve the largest value in each block.

We found this to be very true in a study and managed to recover some MXFP accuracy with micro-rotations: buff.ly/gXaCAhF
Programming modern accelerators uses more and more complex forms of parallelism for example pipelining loading and computing at all levels.

Check out Tiziano's FBLAS and SMI for some fundamentals behind pipelining in applications and networks!
