I’ve been fiddling about with UEFI recently, and trying to work out how I can write a UEFI application which could form the bootloader of an operating system. It seems like a pretty nice interface, so I’ll write a bit about it here.
Last week I was in Dresden for Euro-Par 2025! I went to present my paper about speeding up neural network training with a new kind of parallel thread synchronisation scheme. It was the first time doing that since starting my PhD back in September 2023, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but it was a really fun event. I even managed to sneakily record my own presentation (see below!)
It was a long winter and I’ve been looking forward to spring coming for a long time now, for the better weather and more interesting things to take photos of. Today and yesterday the weather was great (particularly today), so I went to Trädgårdsföreningen once again to find some birds. At some point, surely, I will have to find a new place, but there always seems to be interesting stuff happening…
This post explains the rules of a card game that I used to play at school with my friends. We called it Blackjack, although it’s not at all like the game usually called Blackjack.
