Containers, HPC/AI & Local AI

Welcome to QNIBlog

Christian Kniep's blog about containers, HPC/AI, cloud-native infrastructure, and local self-hosted AI.

Topics

What I Write About

A decade of experience with containers and large-scale compute — now focused on the convergence of HPC and AI.

HPC/AI Convergence

AI is consuming traditional HPC topics. Scheduling, GPU workloads, checkpoint/restore, and memory management are shared challenges.

Local & Self-Hosted AI

Running models locally, self-hosted inference, on-premise deployments — keeping control of your data and infrastructure.

Containers & Cloud-Native

Docker, Kubernetes, container builds, image curation with MetaHub, and modern CI/CD pipelines.

MetaHub Logo

MetaHub

MetaHub provides an OCI-compliant container registry focused on curating container images for different execution environments. Curating images in a separate collection allows for additional annotations without tampering with the source image — enabling the HPC community to standardize on image annotations.
