An MLIR Pipeline for ComputeRAM: Enabling Compute-in-Memory IP
Hendrik Klug is joining us to give a talk on the work he has been doing at Synthara to enable their in-memory compute IP using an MLIR-based stack.
As usual there will be pizza, snacks, beer, and soft drinks after the event for participants, sponsored by Prof. Zhendong Su and the Advanced Software Technologies (AST) Lab at ETH Zurich.
**Abstract:** Licensing custom accelerators as IP to chip makers comes with all sorts of challenges for the compiler. In particular, compute-in-memory hardware moves computation into the memory hierarchy, which requires a different kind of scheduling than conventional compilation pipelines usually perform. Synthara's computeRAM is an in-memory compute IP that is integrated into a wide range of targets, from smartwatches to datacenter accelerators, and each chip maker brings their own toolchain. So computeRAM has to come with a compilation pipeline flexible enough to plug into whichever platform compiler the chip maker is developing, schedule the memory hierarchy and compute capabilities exposed by the hardware, and stay maintainable as the IP evolves. MLIR's dialect and transformation model lets us integrate into the customer's compilation pipeline rather than replace it, and the same pipeline can be retargeted as the integration surface changes from one chip maker to the next. In this talk we walk through the MLIR pipeline we have built around computeRAM at Synthara: the hardware and the platforms it integrates into, the lowering pipeline to both LLVM and EmitC, and the optimizations we do for computeRAM. Throughout, we share what we learned: the good, the bad and the ugly of what's available upstream.
**Location:** The event is taking place in the room G51 in the CAB building of ETH Zurich at the Zentrum campus. Enter from Universitätstrasse 6.
Public Viewing: Portugal vs. DR Congo

Entrepreneurs Circle Zürich
**Important Update: June Event**
Please note that our **17th June meeting will not be our usual Entrepreneurs Circle Zürich Business Growth Event**.
This month we are doing something different: a small, informal **social networking evening** for existing registered attendees.
The event will **not take place at Coworking Lounge Tessinerplatz**, so please do not go to the usual venue. Nothing will be happening there this month.
Because this is a small restaurant-based social event, places are limited and we are now full.
If you are already registered, please wait for the updated location details and confirm whether you still plan to attend so we can book the correct table size.
If this would have been your first EC Zürich event, the better first experience will be our next proper Business Growth Event, where we will return to our usual format with structured networking and a practical business growth session.
Thank you for understanding.

AI Agent with TypeScript: The Fundamentals
**Build Your First AI Agent with TypeScript**
───
No slides. No theory. Just code.
This is the first session of Zürich Agent Lab — a monthly hands-on workshop community for engineers building AI agents in Zürich.
We start on June 17th with the fundamentals: building a real AI agent from scratch using TypeScript and the Vercel AI SDK.
───
**Format**
**5:30pm — Doors open and get comfortable (30 min)**
**6:00pm — Hacking (2 hours)**
You write code. We build together. Step by step, you'll implement a working AI agent with tool calling, structured outputs, and a controlled agent loop. Bring your laptop and a free OpenAI API key.
**8:00pm — Demos + Knowledge Sharing (30 min)**
Show what you built. Share what you learned. Ask what you couldn't figure out. This is where the room gets interesting.
**8:30pm — Networking**
Stay as long as you want.
───
**What you'll build**
• An agent that calls real tools to answer questions it couldn't answer alone
• Structured outputs that make your agent's responses predictable and usable
• A controlled agent loop with proper step limits
───
**What you need**
• A laptop with Node.js installed
• A free OpenAI API key (usage will be minimal)
• Comfortable with TypeScript basics
**Food and Drinks**
• Pizza will be delivered by 6:30 PM
• Drinks will be unlimited
───
**25 seats only.** RSVP secures your spot — no walk-ins.
This event is CHF 75. If you want year-round access to all sessions, founding memberships are open at CHF 900/year for the first 50 members.
Balade et conversation en français!
Conversation en français et balade spontanée.
Pour celles et ceux qui veulent discuter tranquillement en français, venez discuter de tout et de rien!
Tous les niveaux sont bienvenus, même si je parlerai principalement français, j'essaierai de me faire comprendre!
Merci de vous désinscrire si vous n'êtes pas sûr de venir!

Free in-person event: Take Control of Your Mental Health
It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went?
Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence?
Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.

Take Control Of Your Life, Freedom From Negative Thoughts & Irrational Emotions
Feeling down? Sometimes depressed? Can't focus? Negativity & stress? Recent losses? Creativity in career and personal life hindered by mental blocks? Sometimes we never fully recover from traumatic experiences.
Whether it was yesterday, last week or a year ago, traumatic experiences - a loss of a loved one, losing a job, a breakup - can leave you scarred. You talk about it and feel a little better, but it never goes away. After you hang up the phone, it's still there; the sadness, the cloud, the over-thinking, the worry, the guilt. You try to focus, but you're blocked. You try to look forward into new experiences, new relationships but a cloud is hanging over you, casting a shadow on what you once considered a bright, cheerful future.
What happened to your courage? Your strength of character? You're 'why not' attitude? Whoever said 'time heals' must have had a special time machine, because after weeks, months, years, you're wondering - when exactly does that kick in? Sometimes it seems like drinking or drugs are the way to go. But they wear off, and now the problem is still there with added side effects from the drugs.
At this free local Meetup event we will talk about:
* What causes grief, anxiety and depression to become chronic.
* Is it possible to regain your joy and happiness even after traumatic experiences?
* How to break away from negativity and focus on the future
* What are the steps to take to get control of your mind and your emotions?
Learn about a safe, gentle, do-it-yourself counseling that can be done in the comfort of your own home.
Let's explore safe, effective solutions for healing from traumatic experiences.
Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there.
