Science Fiction

**Note from Callie:** *Originally a web serial - can be read on Royal Road or bought as an ebook in three volumes.* Hannah has a routine. Wake up, take a shower, go to school, go to work, come home, and pass out. It's a perfectly normal routine for a perfectly normal girl who does not have to remember how her limbs work every morning because of haunting nightmares of being a very different creature in a very different world. But that's all she thinks they are—nightmares—until one night they're all too lucid, and her body on Earth starts to change. Slowly, Hannah's humanity starts to slip away... but surely she can continue just sticking to routine, right? It'll be fine. It has to be. A mix of urban and traditional fantasy, Bioshifter is a story in two worlds, with magic leaking in from one to the other. It's a story about love, self-acceptance, neurodivergency, and a whole lot of trauma. Strap in and enjoy! ***\*\**** *The event takes place in the Library of the Regenbogenhaus, which is open from 15h00-19h00 on Wednesdays. You're welcome to visit the library, before the book discussion in the House of Colour* \*\* \*\* **Reminder:** The Sci-Fi & Fantasy books group meets monthly, and has a limit of 12 persons (due to venue size at the Regenbogenhaus).

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. Enter from Universitätstrasse 6.
