This article discusses the concept of containers in computing and how they can be understood. The author suggests that containers are essentially chrooted processes, meaning that they are processes that are isolated within a specific directory on a system, and cannot access files or resources outside of that directory.
The author suggests that while containers have additional features and a strong developer experience and ecosystem, the concept of chroot is a key part of how they function.
The article also discusses the idea of building a container runtime using the chroot system call as a way to understand both chroot and container runtimes.

The Andromeda is a supercomputer developed by Cerebras with 13.5 million cores and the ability to perform 120 Petaflops of "dense compute" and over one exaflop of "AI computing." It is optimized to handle sparse matrix computations and has a fabric backplane that can handle 96.8 terabits per second between nodes.
The machine uses a 3-plane wafer processor called WSE-2, with one plane for communications, one with 40 GB of static RAM, and one with 850,000 independent cores and 3.4 million floating point units. The data is processed by a bank of 64-core AMD EPYC 3 processors. Andromeda is available for remote use and cost about $35 million to build, but uses 500 kW at peak run times, making it expensive to operate.
The Frontier computer at Oak Ridge National Labs is larger and more precise, but also cost $600 million.
