After a long hiatus of the compiler social, Lorenzo is joining us to talk about the exciting work happening at NVIDIA that you have probably heard about, namely cuTile/TileIR. As usual there will be pizza, snacks, beer, and soft drinks after the event for participants, sponsored by NVIDIA. **Astract:** GPU programming has evolved significantly over the past decade, driven by rapid hardware innovation such as Tensor Cores and new numerical formats. However, the gap between high-level productivity frameworks and low-level performance-centric programming models continues to widen. In this talk, we introduce cuTile and TileIR, a new block-level programming model and intermediate representation designed to simplify high-performance GPU development while preserving forward compatibility with evolving NVIDIA architectures. cuTile provides a tile-centric abstraction for data-parallel workloads, accessible from Python, while TileIR—an MLIR-based low-level IR integrated with CUDA—offers a stable, portable foundation for targeting tensor cores and future hardware generations. Together, they establish a middle ground between usability and control, enabling expressive kernel development without sacrificing performance. We present the programming model, illustrate it with examples, discuss performance considerations, and, if time permits, take a deeper dive into the core abstractions behind TileIR: https://github.com/NVIDIA/cuda-tile **Location:** The event is taking place in the room G61 in the CAB building of ETH Zurich at the Zentrum campus.

Join us for our next GraphQL Meetup on **March 12th** in Zürich! The event will start at **6:00 PM**, with time for networking and the first talk beginning at **6:30 PM**. Location, drinks, and food are generously provided by **Digitec Galaxus**. If you’d like to host one of our future events, please reach out to us at contact@chillicream.com. The event will be **hybrid**. We strongly encourage you to join us in person for the full experience, but we will also provide a livestream for remote attendees. When you sign up, please let us know whether you’ll attend in person or online. **Schedule** **18:00 – 18:30** Welcome & Networking **18:30 – 19:00** **GraphQL Batching: DataLoaders and Batch Resolvers Explained** \- Michael Staib GraphQL servers rely on batching to avoid the N+1 problem, but where should batching actually happen? In this talk, we explore three common approaches: DataLoaders, Batch Resolvers, and breadth-first (BFS) execution. While all aim to reduce redundant data fetching, they solve different problems and live at different layers of your stack. We will examine how each approach works, when to use one over the other, and how modern GraphQL servers implement batching under the hood. Along the way, we will look at practical execution details like field merging and batching across multiple operations. By the end, you will have a clear mental model for GraphQL batching and the trade-offs between DataLoaders, Batch Resolvers, and BFS execution. **19:00 – 19:30** **Semantic Introspection** \- Pascal Senn GraphQL's rich type system makes it an ideal foundation for agents to explore and work with APIs. The SDL provides the structure agents need to reason about capabilities and data. Queries let them retrieve information, while mutations enable them to take action. In practice, however, production GraphQL schemas are often too large to fit in the context window and difficult to understand without additional context. So what if agents could interact with any GraphQL API in a generic, reliable way? In this session, we'll look at the challenges of agentic interactions with GraphQL and how semantic introspection could unlock a new way for agents to navigate the schema and interact with GraphQL APIs more reliably. **19:30 – 20:00** **The Future of GraphQL Federation: Composite Schemas in action** \- Tobias Tengler GraphQL federation enables teams to compose multiple services into a single unified API. But the federation ecosystem is evolving. In this talk, we introduce the GraphQL Composite Schema specification, a new open standard developed under the GraphQL Foundation and co-created by Apollo, The Guild, and ChilliCream. Rather than introducing yet another competing approach, the Composite Schemas specification aims to standardize and modernize GraphQL federation by addressing limitations of earlier federation protocols. We will explore how GraphQL APIs can be federated using Composite Schemas and how queries are planned and executed across services. Along the way, we will demonstrate the first implementation of the specification with Hot Chocolate Fusion 16 and share some of the design decisions behind it. By the end, you will understand what Composite Schemas are, how they improve GraphQL federation, and how to start using them with Fusion.

### \*\*\*\* visit ZST workshop [webpage](https://zurichstorytellers.ch/transform-with-story-workshop-mar-14) for total immersion ### STOP OVERTHINKING. START TELLING Have you ever sat in the audience at a StorySLAM and thought, “I have a story like that, but I have no idea how to tell it”? Or maybe you have the idea, but you just don’t know how to make a 20-minute anecdote fit into an emotionally moving, 5-minute StorySLAM winner. Storytelling is a skill, not a secret gift. Whether you’re an aspiring newcomer looking to debut at our next StorySLAM, a professional wanting to have more impact in meetings, or a creator explaining your mission—this 3-hour intensive is the roadmap you've been waiting for. ### THE ROADMAP: THE 1-2-3 OF A GREAT STORY We strip away the jargon and focus on the purpose of you telling your story that actually touches people’s emotions: 1. **CONTEXT** (The Foundation): Setting the scene so we know where we are and who you were before everything changed. 2. **STAKES** (The Why): Why does this matter? What was at risk? Stakes are the tension you wind up that makes an audience lean into your story. 3. **CHANGE** (The Transformation): A story isn’t just a thing that happened; it’s how that thing changed you. We help you find your "Aha!" moment. ### **WHAT YOUR INVESTMENT DELIVERS:** * **20% Insight** / 80% Practice: We don’t just talk; we help you build, iterate and empower you to tell your story. * **Memory Mining**: We’ll help you dig for the "silver and gold" experiences, people and places - and shape them into a moving personal story. * **1-on-1 Coaching:** Direct feedback from Maria and Joel to polish your rough edges - plus reactions of fellow attendees. * **The Video:** Receive a high-quality video of your performance—perfect for self-review or your personal highlight reel. **Small Group Alert**: We limit this workshop to 10 spots to ensure everyone gets the "Olympic Coach" treatment. Don’t let your best stories stay locked away. Come for the camaraderie (and coffee), stay for the transformation. Secure your seat (and your croissant) now! **Story Workshop Programme** **10:00 - 11:00 Part 1 - 20% INSIGHT** * Foundations of storytelling * A process for story design * Mining memories for silver and gold **11:00 - 12:00 Part 2 - 80% PRACTICE** * First build - drafts with peer participant reviews * 1:1 coaching with Maria and Joel * Final drafts - practice round with fellow participants **12:00 - 12:10 Short drink break** **12:10 - 13:00 Part 3 - StorySLAM mini-Show** * Draw names from the story-sorting hat * Deliver 5-min StorySLAM on stage * Celebrate! our accomplishments! **13:00 Wrap up and goodbyes** **Secure your spot ON [EVENTFROG](https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/courses-seminars/other-courses-seminars/storytelling-workshop-transform-with-story-7430362970046118645.html) \- limited availability** PS Check out what workshop attendees have to say about their expereince in this **[1:45 min YT video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULcZ49FIDxs&t=2s))**

Do you want more motivation and confidence to build Lasting Relationships? This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Are you burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival, while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This class is held at the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center.
