Lockwood_ Last month was the 2026 ISC High Performance Conference in the beautiful (and sweltering) Hamburg, Germany. It was my fifth time attending in-person, and it has fast become my favorite HPC community conference of the year. Some combination of the program, the people, and the venue that strikes the right balance of technology, community, and commerce that always leaves me coming away with a enough… ## [“Better data for resilience, inclusion, and peace”: MPPN Dialogue explores overlap of poverty eradication and peacebuilding](https://www.mppn.org/better-data-for-resilience-inclusion-and-peace-mppn-dialogue-explores-overlap-of-poverty-eradication-and-peacebuilding/) _2026-07-07 · MPPN · MPPN_ On 30 June 2026, the Multidimensional Poverty Peer Network (MPPN) hosted an ‘MPPN Dialogue’ on ‘Pathways to Peace and Poverty Eradication: Multidimensional Poverty in Fragile Contexts.’ The post “Better data for resilience, inclusion, and peace”: MPPN Dialogue explores overlap of poverty eradication and peacebuilding first appeared on MPPN . ## [News National MPIs – Dimensions 19](https://www.mppn.org/noticias-ipm-nacionales-dimensiones-19/) _2026-07-03 · MPPN · MPPN_ National MPIs Updates The post News National MPIs – Dimensions 19 first appeared on MPPN . ## [News – Dimensions 19](https://www.mppn.org/noiticias-dimensiones-19/) _2026-07-03 · MPPN · MPPN_ Dimensions 19 News The post News – Dimensions 19 first appeared on MPPN . ## [Data for Action: Multidimensional Poverty in Least Developed Countries: Levels, Patterns, and Progress](https://www.mppn.org/data-for-action-multidimensional-poverty-in-least-developed-countries-levels-patterns-and-progress/) _2026-06-25 · MPPN · MPPN_ ## [Editorial](https://www.mppn.org/editorial-dimensions-19/) _2026-06-25 · MPPN · MPPN_ The articles featured in this issue span a wide range of contexts and sectors.

Lockwood · Glenn K. Lockwood_ I attended the 2026 Salishan Conference on High Speed Computing last month, and it was a week well spent in coastal Oregon hearing what many of the world's experts in scientific computing are worried about. Although I took copious notes and many of the presentations are online now , I'm not really sure how closed-door the week is meant to be. As such, I don't feel quite comfortable sharing a… ## [GTC 2026 recap](https://blog.glennklockwood.com/2026/03/gtc-2026-recap.html) _2026-03-24 · Glenn K. Lockwood · Glenn K. Lockwood_ I recently attended GTC26, NVIDIA's flagship annual conference, and it was a blazing hot week full of equal parts glitz and technology. And when I say blazing hot, I mean that literally--San Jose was in the midst of a record-breaking heat wave with temperatures consistently above 30C every day. Despite the sizzle though, the steak came out like it got microwaved: hot in a few places, but cold in… ## [HPC in an AI world: swimming upstream with more conviction](https://blog.glennklockwood.com/2026/02/hpc-in-ai-world-swimming-upstream-with.html) _2026-02-07 · Glenn K. Lockwood · Glenn K. Lockwood_ Dan Reed recently published an essay, HPC In An AI World , that summarizes a longer-form statement piece he co-authored with Jack Dongarra and Dennis Gannon called Ride the Wave, Build the Future: Scientific Computing in an AI World . It's worth a read since, as with much of Dr. Reed's writing, it takes a necessary, hard look at where the HPC community needs to look as the world underneath it… ## [SC'25 recap](https://blog.glennklockwood.com/2025/12/sc25-recap.html) _2025-12-01 · Glenn K. Lockwood · Glenn K. Lockwood_ The annual SC conference was held last week, drawing over 16,000 registrants and 560 exhibitors to St. Louis, Missouri to talk about high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, infrastructure, and science. It was my tenth time attending in-person (12th overall), and as is always the case, it was a great week to reconnect with colleagues, hear what people are worrying about, and get a… ## [Lessons learned from three years in cloud supercomputing](https://blog.glennklockwood.com/2025/07/lessons-learned-from-three-years-in.html) _2025-07-11 · Glenn K. Lockwood · Glenn K. Lockwood_ I recently decided to leave Microsoft after having spent just over three years there, first as a storage product manager, then as a compute engineer. Although I touched many parts of Azure's infrastructure during that time, everything I did was at the intersection of large-scale supercomputing and hyperscale cloud. There was no shortage of interesting systems to figure out and problems to solve,… ## [ISC'25 recap](https://blog.glennklockwood.com/2025/06/isc25-recap.html) _2025-06-24 · Glenn K. Lockwood · Glenn K. Lockwood_ I had the pleasure of attending the 40th annual ISC High Performance conference this month in Hamburg, Germany. It was a delightful way to take the pulse of the high-performance computing community and hear what the top minds in the field are thinking about. The main foyer of Congress Center Hamburg, and the view that greeted me on the first morning of ISC'25. The conference felt a little quieter… ## [GTC 2025 recap](https://blog.glennklockwood.com/2025/03/gtc-2025-recap.html) _2025-03-26 · Glenn K. Lockwood · Glenn K. Lockwood_ I attended GTC for the first time this year and got to experience what turned out to be one of the strangest, over-the-top conferences I've ever attended. It took many typical conference activities (technical talks, an exhibit floor, after-hours parties) and mashed them together with some distinctively unusual conference elements like a keynote in a sports arena, a night market, and a live music… ## [LLM training without a parallel file system](https://blog.glennklockwood.com/2025/02/llm-training-without-parallel-file.html) _2025-02-02 · Glenn K. Lockwood · Glenn K. Lockwood_ The illustrious Jeff Denworth recently posted a hot take across social media, claiming that training large language models (LLMs) doesn't require massive, expensive parallel file systems: As someone who's been working on one of the largest supercomputers on the planet --one that has no parallel file system at all--I was surprised by how many incredulous or curious responses followed. I guess… ## [SC'24 recap](https://blog.glennklockwood.com/2024/12/sc24-recap.html) _2024-12-02 · Glenn K. Lockwood · Glenn K. Lockwood_ The premiere annual conference of the high-performance computing community, SC24, was held in Atlanta last week, and it attracted a record-shattering number of attendees-- nearly 18,000 registrants , up 28% from last year! The conference felt big as well, and there seemed to be a lot more running between sessions, meetings, and the exhibition floor. Despite its objectively bigger size though, the… ## [Ship software peacefully (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/WymLmtc9mIGP) _2024-12-02 · **Sponsored**_ Deploy apps from your repo with auto-config, instant previews, scaling, and monitoring. ## [FASST will be DOE's opportunity to adapt, align, or...](https://blog.glennklockwood.com/2024/11/fasst-will-be-does-opportunity-to-adapt.html) _2024-11-11 · Glenn K. Lockwood · Glenn K. Lockwood_ FASST is an initiative within the US Department of Energy to build and deploy the world's most powerful AI systems for science and is shaping up to be the next big thing after the US Exascale Computing Project. With an eye towards an initial $12 billion budget , the program represents a bold vision of positioning the US government as the leader in AI for science. However, unlike exascale computing… ## [A critique of the call for public AI](https://blog.glennklockwood.com/2024/10/a-critique-of-call-for-public-ai.html) _2024-10-04 · Glenn K. Lockwood · Glenn K. Lockwood_ As I spend more time in the AI infrastructure business, I've been thinking more and more about the government's role in AI . There's no shortage of opinions and position papers on the topic, and sadly, most of them are written from the perspective of the government rather than the AI industry. As a result, they are often full of misunderstandings, misleading statements, or ideas about the world…
