I have no idea how hearts work. I was in the highest red zone for 20-50 minutes for a tempo or fast run just in September, and I can barely reach it now. This particular run I like to go out a few miles and turn around and pick up on the way back. 🙃

Whatever heart, you do you. 🤜 🤛

And some quick reflection! 🤔 Most of my longer thoughts are staying private this year. Onward to a great 2026! Thank you to everyone that makes life really special.

Happy New Year! 🎉 To celebrate, I want to share work from 2025 (Nov.) that I am most excited about continuing into 2026. We designed an agentic team to build, deploy, optimize, and scale #HPC applications in #Kubernetes. We used #Gemini and it worked remarkably well. vsoch.github.io/2025/hpc-orc....

Interested in features, design, history or migration to #FluxFramework? We've updated our admin guide for you! flux-framework.readthedocs.io/projects/flu...

Have questions? Let us know! We are aiming to better engage with all of you, our community, in 2026 🎉 starting with joining @hpsf.bsky.social!

Uh, Facebook, bro, the choice of these images *together* is slightly concerning. What exactly are you saying here? 🔪🫣👁️

When you submit your talk, make sure to select "Project Meeting: Flux" under Topic/Track.

You do *not* need to be an expert or long time user to contribute! If you have a talk related to scheduling or practical experiences that would solicit good discussion, we'd love to have you! 💙

And a fun Easter egg! At the SC Gelato Club event in a group picture www.linkedin.com/feed/update/... I'm looking down at something. That something is the HPC social sticker, our retro 80's and ninja turtle inspired dinosaur! I was lost in my head for a second enjoying his sparkle. ✨

Thank you! 🙏

Strength of the body extends to the mind, and our daily work. If we learn to push our physical limits and embrace discomfort, our relative perception of what is hard completely changes.

I am absolutely certain that nerds rule the world! 🤓

We used state machines to orchestrate a complex #HPC workload in #Kubernetes, and performed a Usability study across #Azure, #GoogleCloud, and #AWS with over 28K CPU and 256 GPU that resulted in over 26K datasets!

Will be presented at #SC25.

Belated Halloween Dance! 🎃

This is the first time that I've ever attempted this dance - I've seen it enough times that I got the general gist! But let's be real, it's terrible. 😄 I guess I don't care, because I had fun. Happy belated Halloween!

This is a progressive tempo run, where you start easily and go up to a comfortably fast pace. There is something to say about strength (of heart and muscle) per unit of body weight! I can't win otherwise. 😆

And so it begins! Is lifting the bar hard for me? Yes. Is my shirt inside out? Also yes. 😂 Am I going to be consistent, and steadfast in my ability to manifest what I want in life? HELL yes. 👏

Thanks Brian! If it's OK, I'd rather not make a chat or forum account, so I'll post here. You can see the failure here, and a picture below:

The base image is regularly rebuilt from this Dockerfile github.com/flux-framewo... and CI fails for it too. Thanks for the help!

When things are hard, we remember that we are responsible for ourselves, and the outcomes of our choices. Today I chose strength, and to prove to myself that I am still the strongest person that I know. With time (and protein!) you will see it too. I embrace darkness, but I choose to be a light.

It handles logical operators within groups (each associated with one cpuset mask) so the user can break down shape by task or other (second picture).

More to come! Right now we are using it for testing. 🤓

It's about time we think more about our job shape. This is something I'm really excited about for #FluxFramework! Have you ever thought about the implications of your flag choices for binding? I made a little tool today (WIP) that can detect (and then predict) topology (binding) down to PU.

Yes ma'am! 🫡

Developer tip - taking the time to write comments for the next day. If you are a gerbil, a monster, a three toed sloth, or a goblin that will die alone, make sure to be honest with yourself about that. 🧌

What did I do for the holiday weekend? 🤔 Biked around for 15 miles looking for a track. I didn't find one, so opted for paved paths instead. I didn't hit the pace I wanted, but in retrospect, this was a good effort! I ran this at noon on Saturday, when it was in the 90s. 😎

We are immensely grateful to the larger community, our collaborators, and tutorial participants! Folks came with a huge set of questions that you'll hear in the Q&A of our tutorial video. Thank you for the questions and discussion - keep it coming! 🚗

We hope to see you at #SC25. 👀

At the end we jumped right into the deep end (1:16:00) and walked through Chapter 4, demonstrating running LAMMPS on bare-metal and in the Flux Operator in User-space Kubernetes. The notebook also has MuMMI component examples, along showcasing the the #Kubeflow Trainer.
August 21, 2025 at 5:20 AM
The tutorial portion this year was so good! 🥳 We developed a custom EC2 Spawner, meaning our participants got a web interface notebook running on their private hpc7g instance on #AWS. The instance came with Flux and User-space Kubernetes! This is a new Chapter 4 on Converged Computing. 😎
August 21, 2025 at 5:20 AM
The third section of the talk is near and dear to me - Converged Computing (25:52). Portability is a new metric of performance. Flux is a portability layer for #HPC and cloud. Learn about the Flux Operator, User-space #Kubernetes, and recent work to automate experiments with helm, and #eBPF.
