Finishing up some research for next week:

1. $Ouster(OUST.US)

2. $Penguin Solutions(PENG.US)

Been talking about those two in real-time over the past few weeks, so will do a slightly more "formal" summary on my thoughts.

3. Ceres Power / $FuelCell Energy(FCEL.US) - more of a comparison

4. $ENSI (Ensilica)

I have a position in all of these incl. Ceres Power + $FuelCell Energy(FCEL.US), with a rough 70/30 split between the two.

Might look into $Harmonic(HLIT.US) too since it's all anyone's been talking about on X. No position though.

Ok, this is big for $Penguin Solutions(PENG.US) & High Performance Compute:

NextSilicon just announced that the Spectra supercomputer (the system $Penguin Solutions(PENG.US) built + integrated) has achieved full acceptance under Sandia National Labs’ Vanguard programme.

$Penguin Solutions(PENG.US) worked w/ Sandia + NextSilicon to deploy & support the platform so it could run real national security workloads.

E.g. HPCG, molecular dynamics + MonteCarlo sims.

And since the Vanguard programme is infamously selective, it basically validates $Penguin Solutions(PENG.US)'s integration capabilities in HPC environments.

Which should help with:

1. follow-on govt work

2. commercial HPC/AI customers looking beyond vanilla GPU clusters

So, $Penguin Solutions(PENG.US)'s strength in high-performance memory + systems integration (incl. CXL) is probably an advantage here when balancing new accelerator designs?

Disclosure: I don't have a $Penguin Solutions(PENG.US) position.
