In 2018 we asked the community to help fund the Beowulf Bash event at SC18 in Dallas. Even though the request came late in the game, our expectations were exceeded when we were able to collect $3,170 to help offset a projected shortfall! As part of our pledge we promised to provide the final accounting of our SC18 finances.
Our expenses for last year were higher than normal because in addition to the Beowulf Bash we also created a documentary video and created a Beowulf History Booth (as part of the SC 30 year history pavilion) In total our expenses were as follows:

As mentioned, Cluster Monkey has been attending the HPC & Other on Wall Street meetings and exposition since they began. The event is a great way to meet vendors and learn the latest news happenings on the HPC in finance front (especially those of us on the east coast ). Like before it will take place at the Roosevelt Hotel in NYC.
The Conference Program is posted and it looks to a good day and half of leading edge HPC presentations. The show is focusing on the following themes:
- Artificial Intelligence Use Cases for HPC
- Hybrid and Cloud Computing HyperScale Use Cases
- Data Analytics Use Cases for HPC
- Containerization and Microservices in HPC
- Cyber Analytics for Hyperscale Environments
- Global Blockchain Use Cases in HPC
For those on the east coast and beyond, the event will take place on Wednesday and Thursday, September 11 and 12 at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City. See you there!

Entire Beowulf cluster to be built start to finish during Supercomputing using 3D printing.
Dallas, Texas, October 31 2018 — The Beowulf community will be featured prominently in the SC 30th Anniversary Exhibit at SC18 in Dallas November 12–15 to celebrate 30 years of SC and 25 years of the Beowulf Project. Beowulf is a methodology that uses open software to connect a local cluster of commodity-grade hardware into a single processing element. What began as a disruptive idea in 1993 has fundamentally changed the trajectory of supercomputing, and its influence has filtered down into nearly every aspect of High Performance Computing (HPC) today.

[Editors Note: Thanks to John for reporting in from JuliaCon 2018.]
Julia Con 2018 took place at London University College and the Microsoft Reactor space in Hoxton last week. The conference saw the release of the 1.0 version of the language.
My main impression is that Julia is being used in production for a wide range of uses. What follows is a small selection of keynotes and talks which impressed me. All of the conference talks are available in this YouTube playlist .
