This allows creation of a container package that will run itself on a system with or without Enroot installed on it! “Enroot Bundles”.

NVIDIA 3080Ti Compute Performance ML/AI HPC

For computing tasks like Machine Learning and some Scientific computing the RTX3080TI is an alternative to the RTX3090 when the 12GB of GDDR6X is sufficient. (Compared to the 24GB available of the RTX3090). 12GB is in line with former NVIDIA GPUs that were “work horses” for ML/AI like the wonderful 2080Ti.

Run “Docker” Containers with NVIDIA Enroot

Enroot is a simple and modern way to run “docker” or OCI containers. It provides an unprivileged user “sandbox” that integrates easily with a “normal” end user workflow. I like it for running development environments and especially for running NVIDIA NGC containers. In this post I’ll go through steps for installing enroot and some simple usage examples including running NVIDIA NGC containers.

Intel Rocket Lake Compute Performance Results HPL HPCG NAMD and Numpy

The new Intel Rocket Lake CPUs have been officially released. There were numerous posts and reviews before the official release date of March 30 2021, but I haven’t seen anything about the numerical compute performance. I’ve had access to a Core-i9 11900KF 8-core CPU and have compared it with (my own) AMD 5800X system.

Intel oneAPI AI Analytics Toolkit — Introduction and Install with conda

I recently wrote a post introducing Intel oneAPI that included a simple installation guide of the Base Toolkit. In that post I promised a follow-up about the the oneAPI AI Analytics Toolkit. This is it! I’ll describe what it is and give recommendations for doing an install setup of the AI toolkits using conda with Anaconda Python.

Intel oneAPI Developer Tools — Introduction and Install

Intel oneAPI is a massive collection of very high quality developer tools, and, it’s free to use! In this post I’ll give you a little background on what oneAPI is and my recommendations for doing an install setup to get started exploring the collection of tool-kits.
