What we’re about
This Meetup group supports the SF Bay ACM Chapter. You can join the actual SF Bay Chapter by coming to a meeting - most meetings are free, and our membership is only $20/year !
The chapter has both educational and scientific purposes:
- the science, design, development, construction, languages, management and applications of modern computing.
- communication between persons interested in computing.
- cooperation with other professional groups
Our official bylaws will be available soon at the About Us page on our web site. See below for out Code of Conduct.

Abstract
The advent of AI supercomputing has shaken the industry with breakthroughs in language models, software and hardware infrastructure. With rapidly evolving requirements, system software is evolving to interface, manage, host and deliver compute to the end-user. This talk will provide a primer on emerging technologies and real-world examples of open-source software involved in managing compute nodes in an AI data center setting.
- Embedded controllers and their role in the next-gen hardware management plane.
- Scope for dealing with massive telemetry and data generated by AI server ramp up.
- Open source communities driving new-age data center enablement.
- How GPU-centric computing is driving architectural shifts in system software design.
- Asynchronous programming strategies to handle real-time workloads on specialized processors.
- Technical challenges and future scope for communities participating in data center build-outs.
