Nimma.codes: Lightning Talks

De 38ᵉ monthly meetup van Nimma.codes. Elke laatste dinsdag van de maand. Een cross-language user group voor software developers in de regio Arnhem-Nijmegen.

Locatie

OpenValue, Arnhem

Let op: het eten is er om 17:30. We starten om 18:00 met de opening. We houden er niet van om eten te verspillen. Ben je verhinderd? Geen probleem, maar meld je uiterlijk een dag voor de meetup af.

De maintalk zal in het engels zijn. De lightning talks zijn Nederlands.

SaC, an alternative to Python for the performance critical part of novel ML approaches?

Python has taken center stage when it comes to implementing ML algorithms.
The root of this success arguably lies in he combination of highly optimised libraries such as NumPy with Python's ease of use
when it comes to combining such libraries.
In this talk, we discuss some of the limitations of this approach and we propose an alternative that
is based on code generation rather than the combination of hardware-specific libraries.

About Bodo

Bodo is a professor in computer science at Radboud University. His research is driven by the desire to bridge
the gap between high-productivity programming tools and high-performance computing on heterogeneous
many-core systems by means of compilation / code generation technology. He is a key contributor to the
functional data-parallel array programming language SaC (www.sac-home.org).
