This years Distinguished Lecture series was delivered yesterday ( Tuesday 12th March) by Professor Neil Lawrence, University of Cambridge In his talk on, ‘The Atomic Human Understanding Ourselves in the Age of AI’ he gave an overview of where we are now with machine learning solutions, and what challenges we face both in the near … Distinguished Lecture series 2024
As part of the schools Distinguished Lecture Series we look forward to welcoming Prof. Giovanna Di Marzo Serugendo on Tuesday 9 November. Prof. Giovanna Di Marzo Serugendo received her Ph.D. in Software Engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) in 1999. After spending two years at CERN (the European Center for … Welcoming Prof. Giovanna Di Marzo Serugendo for our DLS on Tuesday 9 November
As a part of the Love Data Week, Olexandr Konovalov will give a talk on Tuesday 11 February, 3pm, Physics Lecture Theatre C. Abstract: Have you been frustrated by trying to use someone else’s code which is non-trivial to install? Have you tried to make supplementary code for your paper to be easily accessible for … Modern practices of sharing computational research
Next Monday is the annual St Andrews Bioinformatics workshop in Seminar Room 1, School of Medicine. Some of the presentations are very relevant to Computer Science, and all should be interesting. More information below: Agenda: 14:00 – 14:15: Valeria Montano: The PreNeolithic evolutionary history of human genetic resistance to Plasmodium falciparum 14:15 – 14:30: Chloe Hequet: Estimation … St Andrews Bioinformatics Workshop 10/06/19
We present a novel design and implementation of k-means clustering algorithm targeting supercomputers with heterogeneous many-core processors. This work introduces a multi-level parallel partition approach that not only partitions by dataflow and centroid, but also by dimension. Our multi-level ($nkd$) approach unlocks the potential of the hierarchical parallelism in the SW26010 heterogeneous many-core processor and the … SRG Seminar: “Large-Scale Hierarchical k-means for Heterogeneous Many-Core Supercomputers” by Teng Yu
Virtualisation is a powerful tool used for the isolation, partitioning, and sharing of physical computing resources. Employed heavily in data centres, becoming increasingly popular in industrial settings, and used by home-users for running alternative operating systems, hardware virtualisation has seen a lot of attention from hardware and software developers over the last ten?fifteen years. From … SRG Seminar: “Efficient Cross-architecture Hardware Virtualisation” by Tom Spink
Abstract: The increasing complexity of codes with the growing number of cores that should be utilised make such codes hard to optimise and maintain. In this talk, we present the OpenMP and MPI refactoring implemented in the ParaFormance tool. This tool transforms the sequential code into parallel code able to run on shared memory machines. … The OpenMP and MPI refactoring with ParaFormance – Turkey Alsalkini
Title: A Type-System for describing System-on-a-Chip Architectures Abstract: The protocols that describe the interactions between IP Cores on System-on-a-Chip (SoC) architectures are well-documented. These protocols described not only the structural properties of the physical interfaces but also the behaviour of the emanating signals. However, there is a disconnect between the design of SoC architectures, their … A Type-System for describing System-on-a-Chip Architectures – Jan De Muijnck-Hughes
This is Impact talk as a “brown bag lunch” (i.e. you bring your lunch if you wish) and the school will provide cakes. Xelect Ltd – a successful spin-out from the University of St Andrews Xelect was founded 5 years ago by Professor Ian Johnston and Dr Tom Ashton to provide genetic services to the … Impact Talk: Xelect Ltd
ARM has a relaxed memory model, previously specified in informal prose for ARMv7 and ARMv8. Over time, and partly due to work building formal semantics for ARM concurrency, it has become clear that some of the complexity of the model is not justified by the potential benefits. In particular, the model was originally non-multicopy-atomic: writes … Simplifying ARM concurrency – Prof. Susmit Sarkar
