@barijaona@mastodon.mgI discovered inter networking in late 1984 (or was it early 1985 ?), thanks to my Alma Mater getting an IBM 4381 connected to EARN (European Academic and Research Network).
Some students quickly discovered that EARN and Bitnet interconnections allowed us to send terminal to terminal messages to US students which were also on IBM systems but we were unable to do so with VAX/VMS users.

@paul@social.van.buu.reFTM heeft een nuttig artikel (nuttig als in: lastig, anti-autoritair) over BZK en NLdigital.
"BZK wees branchevereniging NLdigital aan als ‘poortwachter’ voor het organiseren van de gesprekken van het aanjaagteam Cloud. En die keuze is opmerkelijk. Anders dan de naam doet vermoeden, maakt de belangenbehartiger met ruim 500 leden zich namelijk ook hard voor Amerikaanse belangen van leden als Microsoft, Google, Amazon, IBM en Oracle.”

@compfu@mograph.socialInefficiencies in VFX: once again a studio sent us thousands of uncompressed EXR files for lens grids and frame leaders. They just let the camera run for 1 minute on 24fps and repeated that for a dozen lenses. More than 1 Terrabyte. But we only need a single frame for each lens and it could have been a 200 kByte JPEG. 😳

https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.07191 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.07191 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.07191
arXiv:2602.07191v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: As quantum computing enters the cloud era, thousands of users must share access to a small number of quantum processors. Users need to wait minutes to days to start their jobs, which only takes a few seconds for execution. Current quantum cloud platforms employ a fair-share scheduler, as there is no way to multiplex a quantum computer among multiple programs at the same time, leaving many qubits idle and significantly under-utilizing the hardware. This imbalance between high user demand and scarce quantum resources has become a key barrier to scalable and cost-effective quantum computing.
We present HALO, the first quantum operating system design that supports fine-grained resource-sharing. HALO introduces two complementary mechanisms. First, a hardware-aware qubit-sharing algorithm that places shared helper qubits on regions of the quantum computer that minimize routing overhead and avoid cross-talk noise between different users' processes. Second, a shot-adaptive scheduler that allocates execution windows according to each job's sampling requirements, improving throughput and reducing latency. Together, these mechanisms transform the way quantum hardware is scheduled and achieve more fine-grained parallelism.
We evaluate HALO on the IBM Torino quantum computer on helper qubit intense benchmarks. Compared to state-of-the-art systems such as HyperQ, HALO improves overall hardware utilization by up to 2.44x, increasing throughput by 4.44x, and maintains fidelity loss within 33%, demonstrating the practicality of resource-sharing in quantum computing.
