For the first time at DAC, HPC Pros held a workshop. We had three companies present, Ellexus, the IO Profiling Company, Sylabs, the creators of Singularity Containers for HPC and Rescale, a trusted Cloud platform to several HPC industries. It was a great session with lots of compelling content which allowed our attendees to get [...]

Picking up from where we left with part one there has been a bit of change in the EDA for Cloud circle. And hopefully we continue this drive, and DAC-2019 brings us some more really good presentations. I might cross-post this to my home blog site at RPMSystems.IO ...that site should have other interesting posts [...]
Part One Prelude We define a Cloud Oriented Grid (COG) to be a Compute Grid which is designed to operate independently, including a well-integrated data replication mechanism, and also has the ability to easily expand or contract in size. This is a two-part blog in which the first part will provide context and background to […]
Where The World Is Heading Let's take a brief moment and take a look at one of the hottest topics in Information Technology today: The Cloud. The Cloud is many a splendored thing. It is a source of infinite resources. It is a cost saving panacea. It promises to reduce overhead. It uses python, which [...]
Choke Points -- Interest Payments on Technical Debt Now that we've reviewed "how we got here" in Part I and Part II, let's talk about the impact these forces have on the daily lives of IT Professionals and Engineers alike. Most of us are familiar, at least instinctually, with the concept of technical debt. As [...]
Creating Cloud-Based Applications That Are Secure AND Usable Is Hard Another day, another headline about data security "In the Cloud". Here's a sampling of some past headlines of data loss in the Cloud: Thousands of FedEx customer records exposed by unsecured server Another Wide-Open Amazon S3 Bucket Exposes Verizon Customer Account Data Data of almost [...]
Origin of the Species Now that we have seen the technical and economic forces which shaped the modern EDA/HPC environment from Part I, let's take a closer look at the implication of the intersection of all of these forces. Grid Computing In the early days of engineering grid computing, it was not unheard of for [...]
The Origin of the Species -- How Today's Semiconductor Environments Evolved The current paradigm for Semiconductor computing dates back to the 1990's. It was a heady time for the industry -- the Internet was a nascent technology and PC's were becoming more commonplace in both businesses and homes. There was growth everywhere for chip makers [...]
