You can find the list of 2023 project allocations from the DOE INCITE program here [1]. INCITE allocates the majority of compute hours at the Leadership Computing Facilities, which…

Believe you’re thinking of the HPC facilities at LLNL and LANL. Frontier is run under DOE ASCR as one of the Leadership Computing Facilities (LCF), which focus mainly on open scien…

The IBM XL compilers have had a free to download community version for a little while now [1]. They also appear to be adopting LLVM [2]. 1. https://www.ibm.com/products/xl-cpp-linu…

If by chance someone is looking for a VM management software around hyperkit, I've been working on https://github.com/bensallen/hkmgr in my spare time.

Also consider the ecosystem for these boards. Do you want your researchers dealing with the non-upstreamed support around Allwinner chips? Additionally consider time to solution, t…

Another neat use-case for this hardware is scale testing of systems management tooling, eg. provisioning, configuration management. HPC centers are looking at the possibility of ha…

I've also done three of these builds so far. Used the SC847A chassis with direct iPass cable access (i.e. no port multipliers), 4 drives per cable. Downside is you need 9x SFF-8087…

The Canon PIXMA MX870 lets you scan and print over wifi. On a Mac you can even use Image Capture. It shows up under "Shared". I'm sure other Canon scanners have this feature as wel…

With Snow Leopard I'd say just use Spotlight. Its just as fast as QS, Lunchbar, or Google QSB for me. Since its built in and already running why bother using anything else? Of cour…

Checkout http://www.arpnetworks.com for OpenBSD and FreeBSD VPS hosting. I'm a client and they've been quite good for me.

Also Flotr - http://solutoire.com/flotr/ which is like Flot but using Prototype instead of jQuery. As such can be used in a Rails project more easily.

Jungledisk for my laptop, Duplicity -> Amazon S3 for servers.
