When special guest Sam Brealey joined us in episode 38, as we discuss marketing strategy and execution, specially for small businesses, but we didn’t have enough time to go deeper into marketing for the small business.  And there were several requests to do so.  So we are delighted to have Sam again to have a hearty discussion of what it takes to market for small and medium sized businesses/enterprises (SMB/SME).  We end with a discussion of the article Can I have your attention please?, by Sam Brealey and  Max Stricker, originally published in WARC in February 2024.  And yes, we also have the Cartoons of “the week”.  Join us!

– Supercomputing show SC24 moves closer to mainstream

The post HPC News Bytes – 20241125 appeared first on OrionX.net.

SC24 is off to a great start with over 17,000 attendees, 480 exhibitors from 29 countries, and new TOP500 list that features a new champion! “The new El Capitan system at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, U.S.A., has debuted as the most powerful system on the list with an HPL score of 1.742 EFlop/s. It has 11,039,616 combined CPU and GPU cores and is based on AMD 4th generation EPYC processors with 24 cores at 1.8GHz and AMD Instinct MI300A accelerators. El Capitan relies on a Cray Slingshot 11 network for data transfer and achieves an energy efficiency of 58.89 Gigaflops/watt. This power efficiency rating helped El Capitan achieve No. 18 on the GREEN500 list as well.”

Join Shahin and Doug as they analyze and discuss the new list. As usual, they go over notable additions, performance efficiency, power efficiency in the Green500 list, the difficult HPCG benchmark that usually sets the lower bound of system performance.
