There is still no widely adopted interface standard for sparse BLAS (related, in 1998, we showed sparse BLAS could be generated by a sparse compiler: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/29… :-). This "Working Toward an Interface for Sparse BLAS" is trying to change that! sc24.conference-program.com/presentation/?…

Beautiful California

Beautiful moon today, through the Meade ETX90EC. #Astrophotography #moon #Moonshot

I am super thrilled to share that my sister Elisabeth Bik received the #EinsteinFoundationAward 🏆Individual Award for her science integrity work!

lil mud on the tires...

A bit of modern Aart.... Piet Mondriaan 1921

A great night for some planetary imaging with the Meade LX600 from my driveyway: Mars and Jupiter. #astrophotography

The moon tonight #Astrophotography Meade Instruments

It seems the whole world was watching the superbowl, but I was imaging Jupiter outside #astrophotography Meade Instruments

Well... That puts things in perspective.

The iChessOne board had a firmware upgrade to support board sounds, now also supported in Chess for Android. Simply enable "clock beep" when connecting to this electronic chessboard, and the board will beep with each move!

The sparse work continues with the introduction of the Universal Sparse Tensor (UST) type to the MatX GPU-accelerated numerical computing C++ library. github.com/NVIDIA/MatX/di…

Image by Grok: requested a Ferrari 308 GTS on a chessboard. I really like the result.

I missed the lunar eclipse due to clouds, but today conditions are a bit better. #astrophotography

Did you go to NVIDIA GTC 25? #GTCdevwall

Always fun to relive the joys of my youth: programming assembler. Check out my 6502-assembler and KIM-1 tutorial. aartbik.com/retro.php

Maze solving on the Commodore 64 with 6510 assembly. An elegant computer for a more civilized age :-) aartbik.com/retro.php

I very kindly received an updated Zmartfun/House of Staunton Sensory Board that now also features LEDs. You see a side-by-side comparison in the picture. I can't wait to add support for these LEDs to Chess for Android!
