Always wanted to outsource your needs for intensive, time,- memory-, and disc- wise, computations ... to somebody, somewhere, "out there" ... ? Dreamed about forgetting about operating systems, compilers, quotas, queues, architectures, etc ?!
This is a bi-lingual blog of the members of the ADAMIS team at Laboratoire APC and invited guests. We comment on selected papers and events exploring, or relevant to, the interface between physics, cosmology, applied math, statistics, and numerical algorithms and which we have found interesting.
The opinions expressed in this blog reflect those of their authors and neither that of the ADAMIS group as a whole nor of Laboratoire APC.

Publish your computer code: it is good enough
Voilà un article qui concerne le calcul scientifique parût dans la
revue Nature. Je vous en rapporte les extraits les plus amusants,
sans plus d'analyse car le sujet est si vaste...
L'auteur, Nick Barnes, qui se déclare "professional software engineer",
est aussi le directeur de la "Climate Code Foundation".
Il passe aux scientifiques le message suivant, résumé dans la phrase
d'accroche : "Freely provided working code — whatever its quality —
improves programming and enables others to engage with your research"

Adapt or get obsolete [arXiv:1008.4623, arXiv:1007.1660, arXiv:1004.2503, & others]
Life in science is clearly dangerous with "publish or parish" and "adapt or get obsolete" prominently featured as guiding principles. And a change again may be upon us - and potentially a big one - yet again to test the adaptation skills of scientific community. Just when we have got comfortable with MPIs, openMPs, threads, latencies, etc ... (sigh).
