A Look Inside U.S. Nuclear Security’s Commodity Technology Systems

In the following interview, Dr. Matt Leininger, Deputy for Advanced Technology Projects at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), one of the National Nuclear Security Administration’s (NNSA) Tri Labs describes how scientists at the Tri Labs—LLNL, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), and Sandia National Laboratories (SNL)—carry out the work of certifying America’s nuclear stockpile through computational science and focused above-ground experiments.

We spoke with Dr. Leininger about some of the workflow that Tri Labs scientists follow, how the Commodity Technology Systems clusters are used in their research, and how machine learning is helping them.

The overall goal is to demonstrate a …

Worth Reading: Making mainstream switches malleable

While the hyperscalers of the world are pushing the bandwidth envelope and are rolling out 100 Gb/sec gear in their Ethernet switch fabrics and looking ahead to the not-too-distant future when 200 Gb/sec and even 400 Gb/sec will be available, enterprise customers who make up the majority of switch revenues are still using much slower networks, usually 10 Gb/sec and sometimes even 1 Gb/sec, and 100 Gb/sec seems like a pretty big leap. —Timothy Prickett Morgan @ The Next Platform

DockerCon Europe Diversity Scholarship!

DockerCon Scholarship

Each year, DockerCon brings the community together to learn, belong and contribute. With the support of Docker and our DockerCon Europe Scholarship sponsor, the Open Container Initiative (OCI) our team has created the DockerCon Europe Scholarship Program to provide members of the Docker community, who are traditionally underrepresented, mentorship and a financial scholarship to attend DockerCon in Copenhagen this year. This scholarship program aims to foster inclusivity by supporting members of our community through access to resources, tools and mentorship needed to facilitate career and educational development.


Open Container Initiative

If you are interested in applying for the DockerCon Scholarship, follow the steps below:

Application Process:

The application process includes completing one of the five self-paced trainings along with the scholarship application form.

Step 1

Complete at least one of the free self-paced courses available in the Docker Playground. These courses are intended for both Dev and Ops beginner and intermediate level Docker users. Select which course you feel best fits you.

Step 2

After you’ve finished one of the courses, complete the application here. In the application, you will need to provide the name(s) of the lab(s) you completed along with the answers to the quiz at the end of Continue reading

What is Linux? A powerful component of modern data centers

Linux is a tried-and-true, open source operating system released in 1991 for computers, but its use has expanded to underpin systems for cars, phones, web-servers and, more recently, networking gear.It’s longevity, maturity and security make it one of the most trusted OSes available today, meaning it is ideal for commercial network devices as well as enterprises that want to use it and its peripherals to customize their own network and data center infrastructure.That in turn makes Linux skills highly sought after by IT hiring managers. Many of the new technologies associated with DevOps, for example, such as containers, OpenSource infrastructure and SDN controllers are built on Linux.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

OSPF Prefix Suppression helps company to use 200 routers

OSPF Prefix Suppression helps to company to use 200 routers in their network without any problem. You can think that, some companies use more than 200 routers in their OSPF network, why this post is special? You will understand why in 10 minutes.   Yes that is true but those companies have either multi-area OSPF […]

Information on the Recent Site Migration

Earlier this week, I completed the migration of this site to an entirely new platform, marking the third or fourth platform migration for this site in its 12-year history. Prior to the migration, the site was generated using Jekyll and GitHub Pages following a previous migration in late 2014. Prior to that, I ran WordPress for about 9 years. So what is it running now?

The site is now generated using Hugo, an extraordinarily fast static site generator. I switched to Hugo because it offers a couple of key benefits over Jekyll:

  1. Site build times are 10x faster (less than 30 seconds with Hugo compared to over 5 minutes with Jekll)—this directly translates into me being able to test changes to the site much more quickly
  2. Hugo is a single binary that’s easily installed on Linux or macOS (and Windows too, though I don’t have any Windows systems)

Hugo also gives me more flexibility that I had with Jekyll, such as generating lists of articles by tag or lists of articles by category. Along with those additions—the ability to browse by tag or category—I’ve also removed the pagination (I mean, who’s really going to page through 188 pages of Continue reading

Fujitsu Bets On Deep Leaning And HPC Divergence

One of the luckiest coincidences in the past decade has been that the hybrid machines designed for traditional HPC simulation and modeling workloads. which combined the serial processing performance of CPUs and the parallel processing and massive memory bandwidth of GPUs, we also well suited to run machine learning training applications.

If the HPC community had not made the investments in hybrid architectures, the hyperscalers and their massive machine learning operations, which drive just about all aspects of their businesses these days, would not have seen such stellar results. (And had that not happen, many of us would have had …
