Figured out if you give pplacer (within GTDB-Tk) 3Tb of RAM and only one core it virtually never crashes Thanks @adrianjhpc!

Our file system #GekkoFS makes it to the Top 10 in the @IO500benchmark 10-node challenge, proving that ephemeral file systems using @intelhpc’s DCPMM have a lot in store for HPC applications! vi4io.org/io500/list/20-07/1…

I/O lag is a major constraint for #HPC performance. Find out why @EPCCed tapped persistent memory to solve its exascale challenges.

The RAMP project will contribute to UK efforts to model the #COVID19 pandemic. Here's EPCC Director @mark_epcc talking about RAMP in @TheScotsman today: bit.ly/3dCfQvT RAMP urgent call: bit.ly/2Jmm7he @royalsociety

We're part of a nationally coordinated effort to provide access for researchers to #hpc and #data resources for #COVID19 research which is just getting of the ground. One example of such resources are these large memory nodes. More details should be available shortly #HPC
If anyone has large memory requirements for COVID-19 simulation work, get in touch. We have 3TB nodes that could be made available. @nextgenio #hpc #COVID19

I gathered my notes and thoughts from SC'19 and posted them here: glennklockwood.blogspot.com/… As always, it came out way longer than I anticipated.
