My accomplishments in 2012

-
Dear readers,

2012 was a busy year.

2012 accomplishments
(starting with the most significant)
  1. Publication of a scientific paper in the really good journal Genome Biology (impact factor: 9.04)
  2. Ray Meta, a free open software (generalization of Ray heuristics for metagenomes)
  3. The RayPlatform framework
  4. Invited participation as an expert to Next Generation Sequence Analysis 2012
  5. Invited seminar at Argonne National Laboratory
  6. Invited SciNet Developer Seminars (for computer scientists; for biologists and bioinformaticians) at SciNet in Toronto
  7. Technical guidance (for director Jacques Corbeil and codirector François Laviolette) for a  1 M$ Genome Canada application, 2012 Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Competition
  8. Creation of the mini-ranks hybrid programming model (with Fangfang Xia and Rick Stevens) 
  9. Editorial rejection at Nature Genetics (2012-06-12)
  10. Editorial rejection at Nature Methods (2012-06-29)
  11. Editorial rejection at Genome Research (2012-07-10)
    12.  
Agenda for 2013

  1. A paper about mini-ranks as a hybrid programming model
  2. Ray Cloud Browser: interactively skim processed genomics data with energy
  3. Deposit my Ph.D. thesis (2013-08-31)
  4. Finish Ph.D. (2013-12-31)

Generating neural machine instructions for multi-head attention

-
  An animal can do training and inference every day of its existence until the day of its death. A forward pass is all you need.   Here is the current model configuration that I use for multi-head attention:         let sequence_length = 6;         let vocab_size = 20;         let n_embd = 64;         let num_heads = 8; You can see the full model here: https://github.com/sebhtml/novigrad/blob/8df6192829edd9cda3a221e12affa770fbda2a1b/src/models/mega_man_attention.rs The struct uses Embedding, MultiHeadAttention, Linear, Softmax: struct MegaManAttentionModel {     input_shape: Vec<usize>,     output_shape: Vec<usize>,     vocab_size: usize,     sequence_length: usize,     embedding: Embedding,     multi_head_attention: MultiHeadAttention,     linear: Linear,     softmax: Softmax, } The instructions generated by Novigrad are below. Notes: - INSTRUCTION    MatMul    t170 t166    t171     means that we do a matrix multiplication between tensors t170 and t166 and the result is wr

Adding ZVOL VIRTIO disks to a guest running on a host with the FreeBSD BHYVE hypervisor

-
On atlantis.domain (my FreeBSD BHYVE hypervisor host), I use these commands: Install FreeBSD on a 10G disk. vm create -s 10G guestname   vm install FreeBSD-12.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img vm console guestname Add 8 30GB zvol-based disks vm add -d disk -t zvol -s 30G guestname vm add -d disk -t zvol -s 30G guestname vm add -d disk -t zvol -s 30G guestname vm add -d disk -t zvol -s 30G guestname vm add -d disk -t zvol -s 30G guestname vm add -d disk -t zvol -s 30G guestname vm add -d disk -t zvol -s 30G guestname vm add -d disk -t zvol -s 30G guestname You will need to do vm poweroff guestname vm start guestname because the guest does not seem to see the 8 30GB without power cycling. (rebooting won't work) *** If you want the boot disk (the one create by "vm create") to be a zvol, you must edit the template: root@atlantis:~ # zfs snapshot tank/vm-bhyve@2020-06-11-2145 root@atlantis:~ # mount -t zfs tank/vm-bhyve@2020-06-11-2145 /tank/vm-bhyve@2020-06-11-2145 r
