Meet the Polycule!

Isa:

He's the seventh son of a seventh son of a seventh son. (Third generation seventh.)

As such, he's expected to be a very powerful wolf.

His first name is actually Isaiah but he doesn't like it. Because it's his dad's name and his grandfather's name. :/

Met Aaron when they were both eight (Isa was about to turn 9) and knew immediately they were meant to be together forever.

He didn't keep it a secret either. He wasn't shy. He and Aaron were attached at the hip growing up!

When Micah brings home his friend Ashley, Isa is hit with the 'holy shit, that's my mate' feeling. Again. And he stresses about it until he talks to his dad and is told it's okay. Some people have more than one.

He has two hands! Yippee. Two mates<33

Big bad scary wolf who gets carsick if he's in the backseat. :(

Had an anxiety problem as a kid but grew out of it.

Aaron:

Was found by Isa's oldest brother (Elijah, age 19 at the time) while he was on a morning run through the forest.

After explaining her situation, Elijah asked if she'd come to his house and tell his mom. So she reluctantly agreed.

He carried her through the woods to his house and sets her down in the yard, then heads inside to get his parents. He explains what she told him, that she smells like vampires, and that she's alone.

They decided to take her in until her parents got back, but they never did.

Became instant-friends with Isa and Micah. The three of them were inseparable.

Isa told them his family's secret a couple months in and then they grew up wanting to be a wolf.

Came out to Isa in the middle of the night at age sixteen and had him chop their hair off. (It was a total hackfest but they liked it.)

Wakes up one night with fangs and glowing eyes, scaring the shit out of Isa.

Ashley:

Grew up with a single mom who really didn't care much about anything, especially him.

Was desperate for her approval so he'd always do his best at school, but was never really noticed.

At age thirteen, he witnessed his mom's death— her boyfriend Mitchell shoved her down a flight of stairs during an argument. He heard everything and knew what really happened but no one believed him, except his best friend Micah.

A couple weeks after the funeral, Mitchell starts trying to get handsy with Ashley. When he takes it too far, Ashley accidentally burns the house down.

It's a miracle he survived, says the EMTs who arrive on scene. But it wasn't a miracle, Ashley knows. The fire didn't come near him at all. It was as if he had a protective bubble around him— because he did.

He goes into foster care for a bit then the wolves snatch him up. (He was over at their house constantly and they're well liked in town so getting custody wasn't super hard.)

Shares Micah's bedroom.

He has some scars on his upper arms from cigarettes being put out on him. (One of his mom's old boyfriends used to call him Ashtray.)

The three of them are all holding hands 5ever and they'll also kill over each other if they have to. :3

SynxFlow Project: A Smooth Migration From CUDA To SYCL

The SynxFlow Project

SynxFlow, an open-source GPU-based hydrodynamic flood modeling software, in CUDA, C++, and Python Data pre-processing and visualization are done in Python while simulations are executed on CUDA. SynxFlow can simulate floods quicker than real-time with hundreds of millions of computational cells and metre-level precision on many GPUs. An open-source software with a simple Python interface, it may be linked into data science workflows for disaster risk assessments. The model has been widely utilized in research and industry, such as to assist flood early warning systems and generate flood maps for (re)insurance firms.

SynxFlow can simulate flooding, landslide runout, and debris flow. Simulations are crucial to emergency service planning and management. A comprehensive prediction of natural disasters can reduce their social and economic costs. In addition to risk assessment and disaster preparedness, SynxFlow flood simulation can help with urban planning, environmental protection, climate change adaptation, insurance and financial planning, infrastructure design and engineering, public awareness, and education.

Issue Statement

Several variables make probabilistic flood forecasting computationally difficult:

Large dataset storage, retrieval, and management

Complex real-time data processing requires high-performance computation.

Model calibration and validation needed as real-world conditions change.

Effective integration and data transfer between hydrological, hydraulic, and meteorological models, and more.

For speedier results, a flood forecasting system must process data in parallel and offload compute-intensive operations to hardware accelerators. Thus, the SynxFlow team must use larger supercomputers to increase flood simulation scale and cut simulation time. DAWN, the UK’s newest supercomputer, employs Intel GPUs, which SynxFlow didn’t support.

These issues offered researchers a new goal to make the SynxFlow model performance-portable and scalable on supercomputers with multi-vendor GPUs. They must transition SynxFlow code from CUDA to a cross-vendor programming language in weeks, not years.

Solution Powered by oneAPI

After considering several possibilities, the SynxFlow project team chose the Intel oneAPI Base Toolkit implementation of the Unified Acceleration Foundation-backed oneAPI protocol. All are built on multiarchitecture, multi-vendor SYCL framework. It supports Intel, NVIDIA, and AMD GPUs and includes the Intel DPC++ Compatibility Tool for automated CUDA-to-SYCL code translation.

SynxFlow code migration went smoothly. This produced code that automatically translated most CUDA kernels and API calls into SYCL. After auto-translation, some mistakes were found during compilation, but the migration tool’s error-diagnostic indications and warnings made them easy to rectify. It took longer to switch from NVIDIA Collective Communications Library (NCCL)-based inter-GPU communication to GPU-direct enabled Intel MPI library calls because this could not be automated.

To summarize, there has been a promising attempt to transfer a complicated flood simulation code that was built on CUDA to SYCL, achieving both scalability and performance-portability. The conversion has been easy to handle and seamless thanks to the Intel oneAPI Base Toolkit.

Intel hosted a oneAPI Hackfest at the DiRAC HPC Research Facility

DiRAC

The High Performance Super Computer facility in the United Kingdom serving the theoretical communities of Particle Physics, Astrophysics, Cosmology, Solar System and Planetary Science, and Nuclear Physics.

DiRAC’s three HPC services Extreme Scaling, Memory-Intensive, and Data-Intensive are each designed to support the distinct kinds of computational workflows required to carry out their science program. DiRAC places a strong emphasis on innovation, and all of its services are co-designed with vendor partners, technical and software engineering teams, and research community.

Training Series on oneAPI at DiRAC Hackfest

On May 21–23, 2024, the DiRAC community hosted three half-day remote training sessions on the Intel oneAPI Base Toolkit. The training series was designed for developers and/or researchers with varying degrees of experience, ranging from novices to experts.

The cross-platform compatible SYCL programming framework served as the foundation for a variety of concepts that were taught to the attendees. The students were also introduced to a number of Base Kit component tools and libraries that facilitate SYCL. For instance, the Intel DPC++ Compatibility Tool facilitates automated code migration from CUDA to C++ with SYCL; the Intel oneAPI Math Kernel Library (oneMKL) optimizes math operations; the Intel oneAPI Deep Neural Networks (oneDNN) accelerates hackfest and the Intel oneAPI DPC++ Library (oneDPL) expedites SYCL kernels on a variety of hardware. Additionally, the training sessions covered code profiling and the use of Intel Advisor and Intel VTune Profiler, two tools included in the Base Kit for analyzing performance bottlenecks.

DiRAC Hackfest’s oneAPI Hackath on

In order to complete a range of tasks, including parallelizing Fortran code on Intel GPUs, accelerating math operations like the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) using oneMKL’s SYCL API, and resolving performance bottlenecks with the aid of Intel Advisor and Intel VTune Profiler, the participants improvised their cutting-edge projects using oneAPI tools and libraries.

The participants reported that it was easy to adjust to using oneAPI components and that the code migration process went smoothly. The teams saw a noticeable increase in workload performance with libraries like Intel MPI. Approximately 70% of the teams who took part indicated that they would be open to using oneAPI technologies to further optimize the code for their research projects. Thirty percent of the teams benchmarked their outcomes using SYCL and oneAPI, and they achieved a 100% success rate in code conversion to SYCL.

"It doesn't add up."

I recall Luke being a total fucking bitch at the start of the hackfest. Even though every single FUCKING thing I ever ranted and posted that I went well out of my way to prove by casually poking Red about it while I was being spied on, AND THIS BITCH SOMEHOW THOUGHT SHIT DIDN'T ADD UP!? GET A FUCKING CALCULATOR BITCH! It's like trying to teach a flat earther that the earth is FUCKING ROUND.

If you wanted to go over something more specific, maybe you could just fucking say so instead of playing FUCKING PICTIONARY YOU DICK!? OH wait you can't because that would make you accountable, and you're FUCKING ALLERGIC. 1+1 = 2 "I'm confused, how does that add up" You stupid fuck. Name a single good reason we couldn't just bring Red into the conversation that doesn't involve "AS A RESULT OF LUKE'S ACTIONS"

I'm mad because there are people like you that treat people worse than dirt while pretending it's not them. And I take back any apology I ever made about insulting Ultronnie, because every one of them had a cause. And it's you lying to my face every time we talk. From the moment we met to the very end like it's nothing. Any feelings that are not yours are nothing serious right, bitch?

If only Luke could have a single question about someone without having to hack them just to make sure they're telling the truth or not. You ever consider working on that or what? You ever consider just harassing people without trying to pull a justifiable cause out of your fucking asshole? Test my memory again bitch.

Remember when I pointed out that most people wouldn't be okay with what you were doing to me and you guys just fucking passed it off? All you need for you to go that out of your way to hurt someone is for them to make you mad. This is you. This is who you are. This is your fucking identity. You learn enough about me, cause I sure as fuck learned enough about you. You tried to fight me on the wrong fucking battleground. Revenge is one thing, but how you take revenge on people fucking matters.

SÉANCE #13 - Au-Delà du bulletin de vote

Dans un contexte de plus en plus numérique, les élections sont devenues des événements hautement médiatisés et politiquement chargés. Cette transition vers le numérique soulève des défis majeurs pour l'intégrité et la légitimité des processus électoraux. Les réseaux sociaux sont devenus des plateformes incontournables pour la communication politique, permettant aux candidats de toucher un public plus large et d'engager les électeurs de manière directe. En exploitant la portée et l'interactivité des réseaux sociaux, les votes en ligne ont été établis pour la première fois dans les années « 1960 et 1970, aux États-Unis, avec des machines à voter électroniques utilisées lors des élections » (L’histoire du Vote Électronique, 2024). De mon point de vue, le vote en ligne devrait être accessible aux personnes incapables de se déplacer physiquement, comme les personnes âgées ou handicapées. De plus, cela peut être bénéfique pour les électeurs vivant dans des régions éloignées ou isolées, où se rendre physiquement à un bureau de vote peut être difficile ou coûteux. Par ailleurs, lors des élections en 2025 à Québec dans plus de 21 villes, « les électeurs pourront tester le vote par Internet dans les quatre municipalités les plus populaires de la province, soit Montréal, Québec, Laval et Gatineau »  (Labbé, 2024). Cette initiation à grande échelle peut susciter les inégalités socio-économiques en matière d'accès aux technologies et aux compétences numériques.

Les personnes défavorisées pourraient être exclues du processus électoral si elles ne peuvent pas accéder à Internet où ne sont pas à l'aise avec l'utilisation des outils technologiques. En effet, l'aspect de sécurité lors des votes en ligne est une préoccupation majeure et légitime soulevée par de nombreux experts en informatique et en sécurité informatique. La déclaration du fondateur du Hackfest met en lumière le fait qu’il « y a beaucoup d’éléments de sécurité qui sont absents de l’appel d’offres. On va trop vite. » (McKenna, 2024). Il est possible que le Québec ne consacre pas suffisamment de temps à planifier minutieusement la mise en œuvre de systèmes de vote en ligne.

En conclusion, pour que les élections à l'ère numérique restent un fondement solide de la démocratie, il est crucial que les autorités électorales garantissent la sécurité, l'intégrité et la transparence du processus électoral, tout en s'assurant de l'inclusion numérique et de l'accès équitable aux technologies.

"They aren’t... yet, but other Discord / crypto integrations might be in the works"

"After an image of a Discord survey inquiring about users’ attitudes on NFTs went viral, social media erupted as people speculated if Discord would be the newest participant in the NFT scam race / gold rush.

It’s not... yet."

"The image is from an internal hackfest project and not necessarily indicative of a product currently under development, but Discord wouldn’t be the first gaming or gaming-adjacent company to participate in the byzantine blockchain.

Blockchain video games are already a thing, and it seems like every day there’s a new big gaming company — like EA, Ubisoft, and Square Enix — announcing its involvement or teasing its interest in the cryptosphere.

If your finger was hovering over the “cancel Nitro” button based on the perception that a Discord NFT / blockchain integration was in the works, you can ease up, but only a little bit. Discord did not respond to questions about whether it would offer cryto-based products in the future."
