Summary:

Exploring Go, Open Source, Artificial Intelligence, and Crypto

Abstract:

A pre-Thanksgiving Typescript tour of the internet with Linux, Go, Open
Source, artificial intelligence, crypto and Tailwind CSS as your travel
companions.

The meeting will show / share working code. People will be able to
type-along and contribute to the meeting in real-time using NOSTR - "A
simple, open protocol that enables a truly censorship-resistant and
global social network.

Agenda / Draft for November 15

Programming in the 21st Century

TypeScript (approx 30 minutes)
Open Source
Artificial Intelligence (friend or foe?)
Messaging in a censorship-resistant way
Type along with BLU at theURL to be provided

Putting it all together

web sockets, various databases, various libraries
Client (TypeScript)
Layout / Styling (Tailwind CSS / Lightning CSS - Rust-based)
Relay Messaging Server (Khatru, Golang)
Access via a web-browse (nJump, Golang)
Debugging (NAK, Golang/Scala)
File Server Access (and issues)

Q&A

Boston Linux VIRTUAL Meeting , reminder, tomorrow, Wednesday, October 18, 2023 - Short Takes: CXL in High Performance Computing; and the UCIe Standard for Chip Design

When: October 18, 2023 7:00PM EDT (6:30PM for Q&A)

Topic: Short Takes: CXL in High Performance Computing; and the UCIe
Standard for Chip Design

Speaker:    Kurt Keville, Shankar Viswanathan

Location: Online: https://meet.jit.si/blu.org

Live stream: https://youtube.com/live/DTcRPqLabxc?feature=share

Summary:

New developments in HPC and Chip Design, and various projects from
the 2023 Student Cluster Competition

Abstract:

There are new hardware processes and programming paradigms that promise
to dramatically improve process yields and performance. CXL will unlock
academic research computing disciplines that currently have no solution
path. These include deeply recursive codes and
applications that require large memory blocks.

Unified Acceleration (UXL), was announced last month at the Linux
Foundation Open Source Summit with the goal of delivering a
multi-architecture and multi-vendor software ecosystem for all
accelerators based on open source standards. And Universal Chiplet
Interconnect Express (UCIe) is helping to build an open ecosystem of
chiplets for on-package
innovations.

Bio:

Shankar Viswanathan is the lead performance architect for AMD's
Strategic Silicon products. He has worked on the design and verification
of several generations of AMD processors. Most recently, he was on the
design team for the SoCs that power game consoles such as the
PlayStation5 and the Steam Deck. His general interests like at the
intersection of performance and security in hardware platforms.
