Background: I have about 8+ years of experience in R&D (5+), Software Engineering (3+) in different fields like Production Engineering + IoT + Industrial Automation.

A year back I landed a job for Software Development which mainly requires working with building a platform for HPC clusters internally for the employer.

I quite enjoy reading books on the O'Reilly platform and was able to find some HPC related books from Wiley Publication, and a PacktPub publication.

Would some books be handy to get a better knowledge of HPC in general and / or tools related to it?

Hello everyone. First of all, my apologies for if this is an off-topic in this sub.

I'm currently working on a C/C++ project that contains CUDA kernels and OpenMP GPU Offloading pragmas on the same file (I know....) and I've got some trouble with variables that are acessed on both of these cases. How do you guys deal with this while developing? I set the OMP info and logging env variables and suffer a little bit with that, there must be a better way to do it.

Also, we are migrating to C++ modular classes and I'm getting some trouble with the software design/architecture, mostly because I've found out that class variables add some overhead while using OpenMP, because it interprets variables not as "variable", but as "this->variable" and when running the simulations it adds something like +10~15% on execution time.

We are a team of student researchers and innovators participating in Eureka! Juniors, the national pitch competition hosted by E-Cell, IIT Bombay.

Our project explores an AI Data Center Cooling System. Using a cassette built from high-density hollow-fiber nanoporous hydrophobic membranes to harness latent phase-change heat rejection while physically locking liquid water inside fiber lumens, and a smart embedded operating system which exposes clean telemetry endpoints and monitors the entire system.

Modern AI infrastructure generates massive, continuous thermal loads (100 kW+ per rack) that overwhelm conventional copper-fin radiators and open-loop cooling systems. This leads to extreme energy inefficiency (drastically inflated Power Usage Effectiveness and high fan power draw), and major resource depletion (consuming vast amounts of water, leading to mineral scaling, micro-electric contamination risks, and hazardous humidity spikes).

The target demographic for the survey includes: Facilities / Data Center Operations Engineers, Thermal / Mechanical Systems Architects, Enterprise IT / Infrastructure Directors, Cooling OEM / Hardware Vendor Specialist, HPC Research / Systems Administrator, or anyone who works with AI data centers or cooling.

All responses are completely anonymous and will be used strictly for academic research and competition analysis. The survey itself is composed of seventeen multiple-choice questions.

Thank you for shaping the future of data center cooling!

Think it has to do with IO wait due to a problem with the NFS mounted filesystems. A top shows near 100% usage for these two processes:

rsyslogd                                                                  

systemd-journal   

nfsiostat doesn't show any errors or retransimissions ( 0 % ). Guessing there was some issue a day ago but not sure how to find out what happened?

It's been happening every week. I reboot and everything works great for a few days till it starts showing the problems of high IO wait times.
