The Linux open source controversy was kicked off in late June when Red Hat announced changes in access to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) source code. We discussed this in an earlier episode of this podcast, Sorting through the Linux Source Uproar -- Red Hat Sets off a Firestorm... In this episode of the @HPCpodcast, we talk with Greg Kurtzer, CEO of CIQ and creator of Rocky Linux....

Our latest episode of @HPCpodcast delves into the Cambrian explosion of AI specialty chips – of which there so many have been released on the HPC-AI market that it’s hard to discern which chip is right for what workload. Hence the AI Testbed at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility. Shahin and Doug spoke with Venkat Vishwanath....

Post-exascale supercomputing for the NNSA (National Nuclear Security Administration) is the subject of a new report by a distinguished review committee comprised of notable supercomputing experts, three of whom presented their findings at a webinar last week. Among other observations Shahin and Doug came away with is that those responsible for guiding U.S. supercomputing leadership on the global stage are under relentless pressure, in an increasingly challenging environment, to make mistake-free, long-term strategic choices. Their task is like that of Sisyphus, except the boulder never rolls down the mountain, it must eternally be pushed up. As one of the panelists -- Dan Reed of the University of Idaho -- said, "in supercomputing, these are the best of times and the worst of times."
