Dear EasyBuilders,
You may already be aware, but we have a 2nd talk in the "EasyBuild Tech
Talks" series planned for next week.
Chris Edsall (University of Bristol) will be giving a presentation about
the state of Arm in an HPC context - a very hot topic right now due to
NVIDIA being in the process of buying Arm for a whopping $40 billion [1].
Chris is able to give us a "neutral" view on the current state of the
Arm software ecosystem in the context of HPC.
The talk is planned for **Wed Sept 30th 2020 at 3pm UTC (5pm CEST)**,
and will be streamed via YouTube:

This is an open presentation, no registration is required.
Q&A will be handled via the #tech-talks channel in the EasyBuild Slack [2].
We plan to record this talk and make it available through the EasyBuild
YouTube channel shortly after, but we strongly recommend you join us live!

If you have ideas or suggestions for other topics to cover in future
EasyBuild Tech Talks, do let us know!
regards,
Kenneth
