Presentations
An interdisciplinary community-building "birds of a feather" session for makers, designers, and homesteaders to share and discuss open source hardware (OSHW) projects with a focus on regenerative ecology. Such OSHW projects may include, but not limited to, food production, rainwater collection & filtration, energy harvesting & storage systems, as well as development methodologies.
Wait, so you're saying adding more GPUs to a problem won't automatically speed things up? In this talk, I will present how enterprise datacenters, HPC shops, and home lab workflows can benefit from using multi GPU computing. Examples from computational fluid dynamics and AI/ML will highlight how leveraging multiple GPUs can reduce time to solution, and improve scalability for large, multidimensional domains. Attendees will gain insights into science's interest in GPU computing, problem decomposition, scaling to multiple GPUs, and code optimization with multiple GPUs in mind.
Source available software is thriving; more than ever, the entire world runs on OSS. We won, right?
Despite the success, maintainer burnout is worse than ever, support is low, and funding has dried up at an alarmingly fast rate. While the situation isn’t hopeless, it is urgent, and this problem doesn't come with neatly packaged solutions. There are people and programs working to reverse the course, but heightened awareness is desperately needed. Right now, things are bad, and they’re getting much worse. We can’t delay any longer; for many, it’s already too late.
As more folks deploy cloud-native architectures and technologies, store ever larger amounts of data, and build ever more complex software suites, the complexity required to correctly and securely authorize requests only becomes exponentially more difficult. Broken authorization now tops OWASP's Top 10 Security Risks. Their recommendation? Adopt ReBAC authorization models. This talk establishes the problems with the status quo, explains the concepts behind ReBAC, and introduces SpiceDB, a widely adopted open source ReBAC system inspired by the system internally powering Google: Zanzibar
This topic introduces ZIA technology—a revolutionary, cloud-agnostic migration solution that tackles the complexities of heterogeneous migration issues. By harnessing the power of ZIA, organizations can not only simplify but also accelerate their VMware migration to OpenStack, ensuring a seamless move and uninterrupted business operations.
Jetstream2 is a distributed OpenStack-based research cloud spanning five U.S. institutions, offering researchers GPU-accelerated and large-memory virtual machines, as well as containerized workflows through Kubernetes clusters. Users can deploy and manage resources via web interfaces, CLI, or APIs. From interactive development environments (Linux desktops, JupyterHub, RStudio) to web-hosted applications, we make advanced computing accessible to researchers regardless of their cloud or HPC experience. NSF-funded through ACCESS and NAIRR Pilot. Learn more at: https://jetstream-cloud.org/
This session will illustrate how to optimize your data platform for performance, scalability, flexibility, and reliability in OpenStack and OpenShift environments.
Discover how Pure Storage integrates into the OpenStack ecosystem and why it stands out as the ideal storage solution for OpenStack deployments.
A lot has been made about Broadcom's price increases for VMware, and there has also been a lot of attention paid to the technological aspects of migrating to OpenStack. Instead, let's take a look at the economics of the migration and how much it actually ends up costing organizations to migrate both in terms of licensing costs, as well as switching costs.

Scientific progress relies on incremental improvements, famously described by Newton’s "on the shoulders of giants." While this is true for scientific literature, code-driven analysis has not kept pace. As a scientist who transitioned from fieldwork to modeling land-atmosphere exchange, I've seen how research code often lacks long-term maintenance, limiting reuse. Research teams develop code over short timescales, publish, and move on. This talk proposes a paradigm shift in scientific coding practices, incorporating software engineering for sustainable, collaborative open-source code.
