First step of long march to ISC22 complete. Waiting in Vancouver to board flight to Frankfurt. Looking for Brent Gorda. I think he lives in these parts. #isc22

The 2022 Great American Supercomputing Road Trip starts now. First stop is PNNL tomorrow morning. #sc22 #hpc

Way behind on my Twitter game. 2022 HPC Road Trip news: Interviewed five of the best and brightest at PNNL on Thursday. hpcwire.com/2022/11/05/sup… More on the way...#2022HPCRoadTrip Thanks to sponsors HPE @CornelisNetworks Stephen Powers Dell and, of course HPCwire

Road trip stop #2: INL, this one was a virtual. Great interview with Eric Whiting and Matthew Anderson. hpcwire.com/2022/11/07/tou… Big shout out to our sponsors @hpe, @cornelisnetworks @gigaio,@dell #2022HPCRoadTrip #SC22

I love me some Wyoming, btw. Piercing winds, high speed limits, and their biggest industry looks to be fireworks, judging by the 5,123 billboards I was along I-80. Shoutout to #hpe, #cornelisnetworks, #gigaio, #DellTech, #sc22 and all those who love the open road.

Road Trip Update: in Los Alamos getting ready for interview, then on to Sandia. Question: Where's a good place to eat in Amarillo? Thai and Indian aren't up my alley, so please confine to American, Italian, Chinese, etc. Thanks! #hpe #SC22 #cornelisnetworks #gigaio #DellTech

I have some issues with Texas. First, why not build rest areas like everyone else? What the hell are these "picnic areas"? Who brings charcoal briquettes and raw meat on the road, then pulls over to fry it up on the side of the freeway in the (almost always) hot sun?

...and Texas CAN do a good rest stop, with restrooms and everything. They just don't seem to do very many of them. Get in the game, Texas, you're better than this!

I have some feedback for New Mexico too. While you may be the "Land of Enchantment", you mainly seem to be the "Land of Personal Injury Lawyers" according to the 1,679 billboards I saw in Albuquerque alone. Damn, you don't want to be known for that, show a little pride!

2022 HPC Roady: Posted the interview with NCAR, learned a lot from them about current tech and future plans Did not get a custom weather forecast for the rest of my trip, however. #2022HPCRoadTrip #giga_io #hpe #SC22 #cornelisnetworks #Delltechnologies hpcwire.com/2022/11/09/202…

Hero Hotel of the Trip (so far)...Staybridge Suites in Burley, ID. I was trying to upload the PNNL video from my room - was going to take 6 hours. I called the front desk, they told me "we have a guy".....

...I held on the line and was soon talking to a tech who got my MAC address and two minutes later I was FLYING on uploads - time went from 6 hours to less than 30 minutes. Now THAT's service! #2022HPCRoadTrip #SC22 #HPE #HPC #giga_io #Delltechnologies #cornelisnetworks

The end of the 2022 South Africa student cluster competition in Pretoria. Another great event! #HPC #chpc HPC Guru

I just dropped my 3,000 rand ($160 US) into the BackaBuddy fund to get Team Wits from South Africa to China for the ASC25 cluster competition. Challenging anyone in the HPC community to meet or beat my number. backabuddy.co.za/campaign/wits-…

Awful Tech Today: how AI will scr*w me today. Delta, my carrier of choice, is going to use AI for ticket pricing. Wonder if it will be smart enough to figure out that I go to Germany for ISC every year? Or to SC, or other events, and use that to jack up my personal price? Nah,
