Brain-Computer Interfaces: The Promise of Technological Telepathy and More

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) establish direct brain communication with external devices. Non-invasive BCIs like EEG are safe and accessible, but offer low spatial resolution. Recent AI advancements may improve their accuracy, potentially making them equal to invasive BCIs in certain situations. .. read more

Why we're unlikely to get artificial general intelligence anytime soon

AGI's just around the corner? Hold your horses. Altman, Amodei, and Musk see it coming soon, but some experts roll their eyes. AGI needs more than just souped-up neural networks—arevelationno one's unearthed yet. Real intelligence? It thrives in chaos, pivots on a dime. Today’s AI prefers its patter.. read more  

Slurm Workload Manager is an open-source, fault-tolerant, and highly scalable cluster management and scheduling system widely used in high-performance computing (HPC). Designed to operate without kernel modifications, Slurm coordinates thousands of compute nodes by allocating resources, launching and monitoring jobs, and managing contention through its flexible scheduling queue.

At its core, Slurm uses a centralized controller (slurmctld) to track cluster state and assign work, while lightweight daemons (slurmd) on each node execute tasks and communicate hierarchically for fault tolerance. Optional components like slurmdbd and slurmrestd extend Slurm with accounting and REST APIs. A rich set of commands—such as srun, squeue, scancel, and sinfo—gives users and administrators full visibility and control.

Slurm’s modular plugin architecture supports nearly every aspect of cluster operation, including authentication, MPI integration, container runtimes, resource limits, energy accounting, topology-aware scheduling, preemption, and GPU management via Generic Resources (GRES). Nodes are organized into partitions, enabling sophisticated policies for job size, priority, fairness, oversubscription, reservation, and resource exclusivity.

Widely adopted across academia, research labs, and enterprise HPC environments, Slurm serves as the backbone for many of the world’s top supercomputers, offering a battle-tested, flexible, and highly configurable framework for large-scale distributed computing.
