Was alt und gebraucht ist muss nicht immer schlecht sein. So Markus Harrer von der Firma InnoQ. Markus erklärt uns wie man Legacy Software erhalten kann und warum "Boring Software" eigentlich ganz gut ist. Und wenn man schon erneuern muss, sollte man sich über die Vor- und Nachzüge im Klaren sein.Markus zieht durch die Lande mit Vorträgen und Seminaren. Unten eine kleine Auswahl von Links.

I met with Nathan Cassereau and Hatim Bourfoune from IDRIS, a national computing centre for the CNRS (the national research centre in France). Nathan and Hatim work on the Bloom project, an open source large language model, which was created using the Jean-Zay supercomputer. Thanks to Nathan and Hatim I had the chance to take a look at the machine after our interview. LLMs and AI/ML in general have created a lot of excitement. Hatim said he got into AI/ML himself, and he highlighted a Coursera course run by Andrew Ng.

Finally! After a failed attempt in 2022, I managed to visit Simon Pinches and Olivier Hoenen at ITER this time. ITER is the international thermonuclear energy reactor - and its aim is to build a nuclear fusion reactor that produces a surplus of energy in a sustainable manner. And can be used as a blueprint for future power stations.Simon and Olivier gave me the grand tour before we sat down and discussed their work. It was a truly impressive tour - in every way. No less impressive is the work that Simon and Olivier are doing on the software side to help put it all together.Linkshttps://www.iter.org the main portal for ITER.https://www.iter.org/mach more details about the ITER tokamakhttps://www.iter.org/jobs/IPA ITER project associates scheme - as mentioned in the interviewhttps://ccfe.ukaea.uk/fusion-energy-record-demonstrates-powerplant-future/ the record breaking JET tokamak in Oxford, UKhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokamak a good Wikipedia summary of tokamaksSupport the showThank you for listening and your ongoing support.

In this second report on research software archives and directories I am talking to Jason Maassen from the eScience Centre in the Netherlands and Christian Meessen from the Helmholtz Association in Germany. The eScience Centre developed the Research Software Directory (RSD) to show the impact software has on research. Researchers who code can register their software with the directory from all over the work. Helmholtz has adopted the RSD platform to produce a Helmholtz specific version and use that to monitor and track development from within the various research centres within Helmholtz.Here some links:https://research-software-directory.org/ The portal to the RSD from the eScience Centre in NLhttps://www.esciencecenter.nl The eScience Centre https://helmholtz.software The RSD Helmholtz siteSupport the showThank you for listening and your ongoing support.
