About this tag
Scientific computing on Windows and Azure involves high-performance computing (HPC) for research workloads, including density functional theory (DFT), computational chemistry, and engineering simulations. Discussions cover cloud pricing challenges for episodic scientific workloads, the integration of AI with traditional HPC, and tools like Open OnDemand and Slurm on Azure CycleCloud. Topics also include the departure of HPC leaders from Microsoft, the use of Azure and AMD for cloud HPC success, and interactive environments like Sho for data analysis and scientific computing. The tag reflects ongoing shifts in supercomputing priorities and the growing role of cloud infrastructure in scientific research.

    OpenAI Codex Cuts Scientific Software Maintenance, Not Validation

    OpenAI’s July 15 field report on agent-assisted scientific computing makes a case that coding agents are becoming practical infrastructure tools—not autonomous researchers. Across eight projects, primarily in life sciences, teams used Codex alone or alongside Claude Code for work ranging from...
