cuTile and TileIR: The next step in GPU Programming
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 G59 in the CAB building of ETH Zurich at the Zentrum campus. Enter from Universitätstrasse 6.

INNOTALK #18 mit Studyond und Kuehne+Nagel
**INNOtalk #18** presents "**Vom Unternehmens-Pain Point zur Lösung: Abschlussarbeiten mit Business Impact mit Studyond & Kühne+Nagel**"
*«Wenn Abschlussarbeiten echten Business Impact schaffen»*
Jährlich entstehen rund 95’000 Abschlussarbeiten an Schweizer Hochschulen – jedes Mal mehrere Monate Forschung, Analyse und Lösungsentwicklung. Und doch bleibt der grösste Teil dieses Wissens ungenutzt.
Dabei bieten Abschlussarbeiten Unternehmen einen direkten Zugang zu Top-Talenten, aktuellem Fachwissen und neuen Lösungsansätzen. Richtig aufgesetzt, werden sie zu konkreten Innovationsprojekten – ohne klassische Projektbudgets und mit minimalem Vorlauf.
Der INNOtalk #18 zeigt diesen Weg anhand eines konkreten Studyond-Projekts mit Kühne + Nagel:
\- wie aus einem realen Unternehmens\-Pain Point eine wirksame Abschlussarbeit entsteht – und welche Learnings andere Unternehmen daraus mitnehmen können\.
Moderiert wird die Diskussion von Viktoria Mauz, Active Member der swissICT Fachgruppe Innovation.
**Worum geht es im Panel konkret?**
Anhand eines realen Projekts mit Kühne+Nagel diskutiert das Panel, wie verlässlich daten- und KI-gestützte Prognosen in hochdynamischen Märkten tatsächlich sind.
Im Fokus steht die Frage, wo wirtschaftliche Erklärbarkeit endet und wo Prognosemodelle unter realistischen Markt- und Schockbedingungen an ihre Grenzen stossen – und welche Konsequenzen dies für unternehmerische Entscheidungen hat.
**Warum sollten Sie an diesem INNOtalk teilnehmen?**
* ***Abschlussarbeiten neu denken***:
Warum sie ein unterschätzter Innovationshebel sind - und wie daraus echter Business-Impact entsteht.
* ***KI als Enabler***:
Wie Unternehmen konkrete Herausforderungen in erfolgreiche Studierendenprojekte übersetzen.
* ***Innovation skalierbar machen***:
Welche Rolle Plattformen wie Studyond dabei spielen, Zufall durch Struktur zu ersetzen.

We thought of one of the interesting things that can be enjoyed at this time of the year. We will be meeting at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for a "Fish Fry" in Marian Hall on Friday, March 27th at 5:00 PM.
It might be fun for you to experience what has become a tradition on the Fridays before Easter. They will have fried fish or baked fish, French fries and Cole slaw, as well as beverages, all for $16.00 for adults. They will have other beverages and desserts available for sale, as well. We have never tried this, and sometimes there are quite a few people at these events so we hope that we will be able to find each other easily. I'll try to have signs outside Marian Hall that Identify our group. We hope to have you join us!

CBusData - Discover the Power of Window Functions
Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems:
* Using running totals
* Performing operations in intervals
* Identifying data gaps and islands
* Performing aggregates without losing detail
Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.
