In our follow up with the Nautical Processing team, we talked a lot about what it meant to them to get some real keyboard time on a IQM quantum system, courtesy of ORNL and their Quantum Challenge.
I asked them to talk about the most challenging part of the competition, which led to a conversation about the AWS WRF module. Which led to me bringing up profiling and how it can help save a LOT of time when trying to figure where to start on optimizing.
Nautical Processing thought that the HPC Crash Course and the tutorials presented by Dr. John Urbanic from The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center were hugely helpful. I’ve heard this from enough teams to make me decide to make the HPC Crash Course the first event in the next Winter Classic (assuming there is one, of course, right?)
