CIQ Technology Day, Albuquerque

Fuzzball and Ascender Pro, up close, with the engineers who build them.

A working day for the people who run HPC, AI, and the infrastructure underneath them. Live demos, your questions answered, and lunch from the Indian Pueblo Kitchen.

Thursday, October 29, 2026 | 10:00 AM – 3:30 PM MT
Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, Albuquerque, NM

What we are covering

Fuzzball: your HPC and AI workflows, defined once.
 Run high-performance computing and AI workflows from a modern web interface, alongside the Slurm or PBS scheduler you already run. Already using Fuzzball? Learn the workflows and features your team hasn't tried yet. New to it? See what you've been missing.

Ascender Pro: put the playbooks you already wrote on a schedule.
 Run the Ansible playbooks your team already has, with role-based access control, workflow orchestration, scheduling, and a REST API around them. Keep your clusters and servers in the shape you left them.

You don't need to run Rocky Linux to get something out of this day. Both work with the stack you already have.

Questions

Do I need to use Fuzzball or Ascender Pro already?
 No. Both sessions cover new users and existing ones.

Do I need to run Rocky Linux?
 No. Neither session assumes it.
