Hi Barry,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The email caught my attention too and I’m considering registering. The focus on ML workloads is not a downside at least for me. I’m gradually moving towards ML training in TAO with pyTorch interfaces (part of LDRD with Richard and Hong) and I have a plasma
physics app related to this that can be ported to this machine, so it seems like good timing to be part of this. </div>

This actually seems like a pretty interesting machine for PETSc. It seems ANL has had it for a very long time but kept it off the website and didn't provide much access except to chosen people.

<div class=""> It would be great if at least one PETSc person could attend to see if there are possibilities, though the course may focus exclusively on ML type workloads.</div>
