Emerging Technology Fellowship @ xd.gov [remote first]

We’re looking for purpose-driven technologists and innovators to join this unique fellowship experience with xD at the Census Bureau. The Emerging Technology Fellowship (ETF) recruits the best and brightest technologists with expertise in emerging data technology trends to build a better government for everyone.

https://www.xd.gov/apply/

This is a unique opportunity to build and explore new technology within the US Government!

This is a full-time, non-supervisory, excepted service appointment for a minimum of two years (with the possibility to extend an additional two years). All U.S. citizens welcome to apply. Applications now being accepted through November 30th, 2023!

If you wanted to try ppc64le, you could reach out to OSU's OSL Lab. They have Power8/9 machines and you could build your software and possibly arrange some time for PoC.

Other great mountaineering books: Annapurna (already mentioned) -Herzog All of Ed Viesturs books are great The Summit - Pemba Gyaljie Dark Summit - Nick Heil Conquistadors of the Useless - Terray Eiger Dreams - Krakauer Denali's Howl - Hall

This doesn't seem like they actually provided and/or did anything new here. (Hard to tell cuz there is also no obvious code. Is it just cachefsd?)

About a year and a half ago I did something similar with essentially the exact same hardware.

BeeGFS filesystem across x3 IBM power8 Minksy's with NVMe drives for distributing data quickly, in parallel, and effectively across multiple machines. Really helped with the scripting of a batch job as the file system was unified across the platform and had some good in memory caching.

I have the numbers somewhere but I felt like theirs aren't really that great considering 40gbps mellanox & NVMe. Should really be able to get quiet a bit better throughput. Also ran thousands of jobs and many Tb of data. Not just 24 over gigabytes.

(FWIW I didn't thoroughly read the actual article that thoroughly.)

Isn't this illegal? Aren't you only allowed to run OSX on Apple hardware?

The newest super computer, summit, ranked as the largest/fastest runs ppc64le which definitely creates an argument that there is an alternative to x86 for servers.
