While i ts mathematical definition is simple\, achieving optimal performance in C+ + is far from trivial.\n\nIn this talk\, we will explore different optimiz ation techniques for matrix multiplication\, from naive implementations to highly tuned versions leveraging modern hardware features. We will cover key performance-enhancing strategies such as loop unrolling\, cache blocki ng\, SIMD vectorization\, parallelization using threads and more. Through benchmarking and profiling\, we will measure the real impact of these opti mizations.\n\nBy the end of this session\, attendees will gain insights in to two critical questions:\nHow hard is it to implement an optimized matri x multiplication in C++?\nHow effective is C++ for achieving peak performa nce in this task?\n\nThis talk is suitable for developers interested in pe rformance optimization\, computational efficiency\, and modern C++ techniq ues for numerical computing.\n\n++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++\n\nThank you to TikTok for graciously hosting us 💃🏼.

Whether it’s fin ding an apartment\, deciding whether to eat at our favorite restaurant or branch out\, or dealing with an overflowing closet\, we think of these as uniquely human problems. They’re not. In fact\, the essential problems o f human life correspond to some of the fundamental problems faced by compu ter scientists\, and the solutions don’t always look like what we imagin e—which means there’s an opportunity to use computer science to learn something about how to make better decisions in our own lives. (In the cas es of apartments\, restaurants\, and closets: from optimal stopping\, the explore/exploit tradeoff\, and caching\, respectively.)\n\nhttp://www.sfba yacm.org/sites/default/files/imagecache/event_thumbnail_medium/97816277903 69.jpg\n\nAlgorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions\n http://us.macmillan.com/algorithmstoliveby/brianchristian\n\nSpeakers Bio\ n\nBrian Christian (http://brian-christian.com/) is the author of The Most Human Human (http://brian-christian.com/the-most-human-human/)\, a Wall S treet Journal bestseller\, New York Times editors' choice\, and New Yorker favorite book of the year.

An evening of discussions and brief talks. DESCRIPTION:Data! SF Bay\nNOTE: This event is being postponed until August . We will send out a note when it is back on the calendar.\n\nDavid Straus s\, CTO of Pantheon\, will share his experiences with LevelDB\, and outlin e his reasons for advocating it.\n\nIf you would like to share your experi ences as well\, send a note to data@lynnbender.com .\n\nLevelDB (https://c ode.google.com/p/leveldb/) (Wikipedia Page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L evelDB)) has been around for a while. It has the same kind of compaction a nd sorted table strategy that Cassandra does. If you’re building databas es that store – that need to persist to flat to either rotating volumes or flash devices\, LevelDB works well for that.\n\nLevelDB scales all the way from an Android device that is maintaining persistent data for applica tion and needs low memory and is writing flash memory on the local device all the way up to server applications that are running on either kind of c ommercial flash drives or possibly RAID arrays of rotating magnetic media. \n\nBut what's new?\n\nLevelDB now has a project offering network accessib ility and replication. Performance is in the ballpark of Redis\, which is impressive considering that LevelDB actually promises durability.\n\nhttps ://github.com/ideawu/ssdb\n\nRiak also supports (http://docs.basho.com/ria k/latest/tutorials/choosing-a-backend/LevelDB/) LevelDB (http://docs.basho .com/riak/latest/tutorials/choosing-a-backend/LevelDB/) for storage.\n\nTh ere's also now a new\, rich Python API for LevelDB:\nhttps://github.com/wb olster/plyvel\n\nWhat else is new?

Unfortunately\, this step is oft en skipped in software development. The result is incoherent\, arbitrary\, overly-complex applications that expose irrelevant concepts to users. Thi s talk explains what conceptual models are\, why they are valuable\, and h ow to create them. It is based on a recent book of the same title by Jeff Johnson and Austin Henderson.\n\nJeff Johnson is Principal Consultant at U I Wizards\, Inc.\, a product usability consultancy (uiwizards.com). He als o is a principal at WiserUsability.com\, a consultancy focused on elder us ability and accessibility. After earning B.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Yale and Stanford Universities\, he worked as a UI designer and implementer\, e ngineer manager\, usability tester\, and researcher at Cromemco\, Xerox\, US West\, Hewlett-Packard Labs\, and Sun Microsystems. He has taught at St anford University\, Mills College\, and the University of Canterbury. He h as authored many articles and chapters on Human-Computer Interaction\, as well as the books GUI Bloopers\, Web Bloopers\, GUI Bloopers 2.0\, and Des igning with the Mind in Mind. His latest book\, coauthored with Austin Hen derson\, is Conceptual Models: Core to Good Design (2011).\n\nAustin Hende rson's 45-year career in Human-Computer Interaction includes user interfac e research and architecture at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory\, Bolt Beranek and Newman\, Xerox Research (both PARC and EuroPARC)\, Apple Computer\, and P itney Bowes\, as well as strategic industrial design with Fitch and his ow n Rivendel Consulting & Design. The primary goal of his work has been to b etter meet user needs\, both by improving system development to better ant icipate those needs\, and by broadening system capability to enable users themselves to better respond to unanticipated needs when they arise in a r ich and changing world.

These telescopes for high-dimensional BigData c ombine powerful statistical methods with user-controlled interfaces. Users can begin with an overview\, zoom in on areas of interest\, filter out un wanted items\, and then click for details-on-demand. With careful design a nd efficient algorithms\, the dynamic queries approach to data exploration can provide 100msec updates even for million-item visualizations that can represent billion-record databases.\n\nThis talk reviews the growing comm ercial success stories such as www.spotfire.com (https://exchange.cs.umd.e du/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.spotfire.com)\, and www.smartmoney .com/marketmap (https://exchange.cs.umd.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http ://www.smartmoney.com/marketmap)\, plus emerging products such as www.hive group.com (https://exchange.cs.umd.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://ww w.hivegroup.com) will be covered.\n\nThe central theme is the integration of statistics with visualization as applied for time series data such as ( www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/timesearcher (https://exchange.cs.umd.edu/exchweb/bin/ redir.asp?URL=http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/timesearcher) )\, temporal event sequences such as electronic health records ( http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/l ifelines2 and www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/eventflow)\, and social network data ( h ttp://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/socialaction and http://www.codeplex.com/nodexl ). The result is meaningful SmallData that supports bold decisions.\nBio: BEN SHNEIDERMAN ( http://www.cs.umd.edu/~ben ) is a Professor in the Depar tment of Computer Science and Founding Director (1983-2000) of the Human-C omputer Interaction Laboratory ( http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/ ) at the Univ ersity of Maryland. He is a Fellow of the AAAS\, ACM\, and IEEE\, and a Me mber of the National Academy of Engineering\, in recognition of his pionee ring contributions to human-computer interaction and information visualiza tion.\n\nBen is the co-author with Catherine Plaisant of Designing the Use r Interface: Strategies for Effective Human-Computer Interaction (5th ed.\ , 2010) http://www.awl.com/DTUI/.

To make things more interactive\, bring y our own laptop and follow along by creating your own Druid demo environmen t on AWS. We plan on providing simple examples that will allow you to inge st and query information as it hits the database.\n\nWho should attend? An ybody who is interested in providing insight against live streaming data o r\, as we call it\, "data of the moment."\n\nWe'll start at 5:30 pm with P izza\; the presentation will begin promptly at 6:00 pm. Just in case you'r e wondering\, the RSVP will be managed manually - we have members joining us from other groups.

I apologize for the change in the dat e as well. We had to do this to accommodate a larger audience and also to give enough time for more members to RSVP (a few of the members are gone t his week to attend various conferences and events).\n\nAgenda\n\n--------- \n\n06:30 pm - 07:00 pm : Networking over Dinner\n\n07:00 pm - 07:30 pm : Introduction to Recommend engines (talk)\n\n07:30 pm - 08:00 pm : Form gro ups and work in groups\n\n08:00 pm - 08:30 pm : Group sessions and Q/A\n\n As mentioned in our first meetup\, we will be kicking off our first sprint . In this sprint\, we will be studying an implementing Recommendation Engi ne algorithms. We will start with Collaborative Filtering and then slowly expand in to other algorithms as well.\n\nWe will also be using MongoDB an d build a complete recommendation engine using Ruby and a presentation lay er using Ruby-on-Rails. There will be four sprints before teams demo their recommendation engines.\n\nIn this meetup\, we will have an introductory session about Recommend engines and then form teams of people to work on r ecommend engines over the next month (there will be weekly sessions). Come along for a wonderful journey in to big data\, analytics and machine lear ning.

DESCRIPTION:Analytics Hackathon\nSince this is the first Hackathon for the organization\, I intend for this meetup to initially be a social meet and greet. I will chat for a few minutes\, but my end goal is to have Hackath ons that really help everyone focus on areas and skill sets that they want to develop. I also want the group to be a valuable resource long term for anyone that has a cool project or just wants to learn stuff about analyti cs. Hence\, please come with a good energy and eagerness to talk about ana lytics work/projects you are interested in and what you want to learn/do w ithin the organization. Future meetups will have member driven themes and workshops. I also intend to have competitions\, prizes\, and organization supported open sourced projects.\n\nWhether you are a seasoned developer\, student\, corporate bigwig\, or just someone that wants to learn about an alytics\, we will have a place for you in a fun\, friendly\, and creative environment.\n\nNote 1: When I am not working on grad school stuff\, my ot her gig is in Farmer's Markets. So\, this group will maintain good munchie s and booze until I die.\n\nNote 2: The space we have at the Port Offices is AWESOME. We are scheduled to meet at their original location(and we are STILL meeting there). They are just finishing up their second space at 10 1 Broadway (around the corner) and it is a tech hub/coworking space that r ivals any in the Bay. It has a presentation room\, game room\, bar/kitchen \, and a slide (yes\, a SLIDE)! It is the perfect space for a creative hac kathon. Our meetup is timed with their new location launch and they have b een really friendly to us. There is a parking garage around the corner. It is also very bike friendly.\n\nBasic Agenda:\n\nPlease donate $5 at the d oor\n\n7 p.m. - Start showing up and meeting other members\n\n745 p.m. - I ntro to Analytics Hackathon\n\n8 p.m. - Member roundtable discussions - He lp define the group!\n\n830 p.m. - Hack/do presentations until they kick u s out!
