Could not come to SC25 because I had to teach:

🎯 Parallel Programming with #MPI
🎯 One of the most iconic tools in #HPC
🎯 Don’t work hard – work in parallel 🚀

MPI processes are just like humans talking to each other – this is what Copilot gave me (back in Apr 2025) to depict MPI communication:

This week we've moved parallelism to a new level – our DL course and our OpenMP course were done in parallel – which picture is your favorite?

Next week, we'll start with the November edition of our famous LLM course series – there are still seats available!

We had a very successful #EVITA Kick-Off Meeting this week – thanks to #BSC for hosting the meeting and all partners for the constructive collaborartion!

EVITA – EuroHPC Virtual Training Academy – aims to build a unified, inclusive, and future-ready training framework for HPC+ across Europe.
The EVITA project is off to a strong start!

On July 1–2, all eight partners met at Barcelona Supercomputing Center for a vibrant kick-off meeting — aligning our vision and strengthening collaboration.

Excited for what lies ahead!
