But what does that infrastructure actually look like? This talk walks through the anatomy of an AI supercomputer from the ground up: individual GPUs\, multi-GPU nodes\, racks\, and full clusters. We’ll cover the three pillars of compute\, storage\, and networking\, then look at how training and inference workloads place very different demands on hardware. Finally\, we’ll explore how Linux runs the show at every layer from the OS on each node\, to InfiniBand fabric management\, to job scheduling with Slurm\, Kubernetes\, and Ray.\nNo AI/HPC background required – just curiosity about what it takes to build and run the machines behind the models.\n\nBio:\n\nJesse Lopez is an AI/ML and Technical Program Manager in the Azure HPC/AI organization where he helps deploy large-scale AI infrastructure and works with customers to put it to use. A former scientist\, he has a background in high-performance computing\, AI/ML\, and has been a Linux user since the nineteen hundreds.\nTags: plug\, linux\, Expiring secure boot certificates\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482598 URL:https://pdxwit.net/event/portland-linux-unix-group-general-monthly-meeting-inside-ai-supercomputers-with-jesse-lopez-2/ LOCATION:Portland State University Fourth Avenue Building (FAB) Room FAB 86-01\, 1900 SW 4th Ave\, Portland\, OR\, United States CATEGORIES:Calagator END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260604T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260604T190000 DTSTAMP:20260604T210146Z CREATED:20260506T231208Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260604T210146Z UID:2433-1780594200-1780599600@pdxwit.net SUMMARY:6-4-26 Accelerate Biotech Happy Hour DESCRIPTION:Join us for OBI’s Accelerate Biotech Happy Hour on Thursday\, June 4\, from 5:30 to 7:00 PM.\n\nKick off June with OBI’s Accelerate Happy Hour!

But it doesn’t have to be. There’s a minimum standard and an advanced approach. People who need alt text will appreciate you for the former and love you for the latter. Alt text is also a whole lot more than the `alt` attribute. That’s just one of the many ways to make content accessible. In fact\, there are a number of considerations for writing great alt text.\n\nIn this presentation\, Mark Wyner will help you understand the spectrum of options so you can take good care of your audience. We’ll walk through implementation methods\, phonetics\, composition\, complex sources\, and tackling social media.\n\nLet’s give screen readers and other assistive technologies something to *talk* about.\n\n#### Agenda\n\nThe event begins at 6 pm; join early\, starting at 5:45 pm for networking.\n\n* 5:45 Networking\n* 6:00 Introductions and announcements\n* 6:15 Presentation\n* 6:45 Q&A and discussion\n\n#### About the presenter\n\n(https://markwyner.com/) is an autodidactic polymath with over two decades of experience in design and development. His approach prioritizes usability\, accessibility\, and inclusivity. He’s also an antifascist humanitarian. So diversity and equity are overarching principles for everything he does in this space. Currently\, as the Lead Product Designer at BookNook. His pronouns are he/him/his.

Jahzeel Ormeño\, Founder and Principal Consultant of SimplexityPM\, is bringing the conversation from the PMI Portland Annual Conference straight to our Meetup with her informal talk "From the PMI Conference Floor: What the PM World Is Saying About Quality\, AI\, and Getting Work Done Right".\n\nJahzeel is excited to debrief her experience from the conference with an honest conversation about what PMs are actually talking about: where AI is showing up (and where it isn’t)\, what else dominated the room\, and how the PM practices most of us take for granted connect directly to software quality outcomes. Come ready to share what you’re seeing on your end too — the best part will be comparing notes.\n\nYou don’t need to be a PM to get something out of this. It’s a good fit if you’re curious about any of the following:\n• What PMs and quality folks have in common (and where they still talk past each other)\n• How AI is actually landing in delivery teams — beyond the hype\n• Which PM habits quietly prevent quality problems before they start\n• Continuing the conversations from PMI Portland 2026\n\nThis will be a hybrid meetup\, so mingle in person or tune in online. Doors (and virtual lobby) open at 6pm for a half hour of pre-talk networking.\n\nSchedule:\n\n6pm – 6:30pm Networking (online included)\n6:30pm – 7:30pm ‎Open discussion led by Jahzeel\n\n(While free to attend\, food and drinks from the delicious Steeplejack menu will not be covered.)\nTags: pm\, pmi\, project management\, agile\, AI\, automation\, engineer\, leadership\, networking\, process\, qa\, quality assurance\, software\, software quality\, software testing\, tech\, technologies\, technology\, test\, testing\, tooling\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482573 URL:https://pdxwit.net/event/pnsqc-may-meetup-from-the-pmi-floor-an-honest-conversation-on-ai/ LOCATION:Steeplejack Brewing Company\, 2400 NE Broadway St\, Portland\, OR\, United States CATEGORIES:Calagator END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260526T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260526T200000 DTSTAMP:20260526T104403Z CREATED:20260521T092510Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260526T104403Z UID:2654-1779814800-1779825600@pdxwit.net SUMMARY:mending workshop with Mr Goldbear (dinner included) DESCRIPTION:Get up-to-date information at: https://luma.com/rllkmuam\nAddress:\n4511 SE Main St\nPortland\, OR\nUnited States\nMake friends who care about stuff at Soapbox Portland\, the city’s most fun community space for climate action!\nWe’re having a party for people who care about the planet.
