That XC40 system is for collaboration work but it also serves as a test bed of sorts as it's so much lager users can try scaling up models on it.

Currently the most powerful weather forecasting computer is the UK Met Office machine, a Cray XC40 machine that delivers 6.8 petaflops and sits at number 11 on the TOP500. But this does not run the production forecast, th

It's great to see commercial bodies as well as CNCF not only take interest in these sorts of things but actually push them forward for the benefit of all.

First off, yay easy access to monotonic time! This is good. Now whilst the author acknowledges Go can't rely on systems to smear leap seconds it was hopelessly naive to think they could in the first place. I hoped that the trend

One of the things that stands out to me personally is that Illumos/ Solaris values debugging (both in-situ and postmortem) far more than other platforms. Both ZFS and dtrace are brilliant examples of this as well as mdb but I'm mu

So maybe I'm not reading this carefully enough but was all of this possible from a non-global zone? If so was there a CVE number issued for this?
