Gadi

"The first thing I remember hearing after Kira was born was Kimi cooing to Kira, 'It’s OK, sweet girl, it’s us... we love you. We are so lucky you chose us,” Schwartz said. "We are so lucky you chose us," Kimi Tobin told her newborn baby, Kira. Courtesy Gadi Schwartz He said the name Kira "means shiny and glittery in Japanese and dark haired in Gaelic and wow, is she both!" "She came bursting into this world with the most adorable full head of brown hair, immediately reaching out and hugging her mom with both her arms," Schwartz told TODAY. "She is alert, feisty, hungry and loves making eye contact." Welcome to the world, Kira Setsuko Schwartz!

Proud new papa Gadi Schwartz. Courtesy Gadi Schwartz Before heading to the hospital, Schwartz noticed that there was a lot of advice for what expectant moms should pack in their hospital bags, but not much for dads. So he made a TikTok! "I mean, FaceTime is FaceTime," Schwartz said. "It's not like the real thing, you know? And then all of a sudden, the (ultrasound) image flashes on, and that was like the moment that everything just changed. And I would have done anything to have been inside that room with her and holding her hand because it's a miracle what you see on that screen." Schwartz also "I w...

Gadi, the National Computational Infrastructure’s (NCI) newest supercomputer, is now fully operational less than two months after the first tests took place. Phase 1 of Gadi began on 18 November 2019 when 18 racks of Cascade Lake CPUs from Intel as well as 96 V100 GPUs from Nvidia were made available to its more than 4000 users for a transition phase. NCI, which is a collaboration between the Australian National University (ANU), Geosciences Australia, CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology, worked with users to help bring their applications and hundreds of projects across to the new system. Now, phase 2 of Gadi has commenced and users have transitioned off the Raijin nodes - NCI’s previous supercomputer. This means all research projects running on Raijin have all been transferred to Gadi. " All of the technology has improved; the size of the nodes [is] much larger, both in computational throughput and in memory," NCI data storage services manager Daniel Rodwell told Computerworld . “What that allows you to do is solve the biggest problem on the node and, collectively, larger, more complex problems over the whole machine. All in very general terms, of course." Raijin had reached end of life, but there were also other reasons for a new system including ongoing growth in demand for NCI's services, Rodwell explained. NCI also wanted to offer a system that was internationally competitive. “What's driving that is ultimately time to result,” Rodwell said. “You've got a finite amoun...

"Kira looks so much like her mother! She has her adorable nose, her pouty lip. Her brow even furrows exactly how Kimi's does when examining something that she sees for the first time," Schwartz says. "I've never felt more astounded and humbled by the miraculous power of motherhood. We could not be more grateful for our precious little blessing." "After deciding to try and start a family, one morning I woke up after having the craziest dream and told Gadi, 'I just had a dream that I was pregnant and it's a girl and I heard my daughter's voice telling me to get up and take a pregnancy test,'" Tobin said at the time. "Gadi was still half asleep and seemed confused, so I got out of bed, took the test and said, 'You better come see this — I think we're having a baby!'" Tobin was right about expecting a girl, as well. "I would have been excited either way, but to be honest, I come from a family of four boys, so having a daughter is the most precious little blessing for our family," said Schwartz. "I'm most excited about being a girl dad. I'm also excited to bring a new person into our circle of love." "It's hard not to get nervous about the state of the world, especially during this uncertain time," he said. "As journalists, we see so much unrest and difficulty and it's hard not to bring that home with us. But I can already feel my entire perspective shifting into this singular need to make the future better for our daughter. It's something I've heard people say all my life, but...
