- The CFP for #PPAM2026 is out. Always one of the best conferences in the field with an outstanding cultural programme on top: ppam.edu.pl https://ppam.edu.pl/
- Most of it is German, but there's always some English content in there as well. And it is nice to learn about the new computer Lion Cubs, as well as to see the HPC Days featured: https://www.cs.cit.tum.de/sccs/weiterfuehrende-informationen/quartl/
- Our Correctness & Debugging workshop came to an end on Monday, and we have summarised the outcomes at https://shareing-dri.github.io/events/202511-correctness-workshop/ We'll certainly run one or two more of these events within the HAI-End project, and use the insights to feed into @shareing.bsky.social
- Paper alert: arxiv.org/abs/2512.05516 In this paper, we extend our concept to let a compiler offload kernels to the GPU through annotations (so similar to OpenMP pragmas). Previously, it converted data SoA and rewrote the compute kernels automatically to work only on these slimmed down data views. https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.05516
- Congrats to our @durham-comp-sci.bsky.social students for representing Durham Uni successfully at #CIUK2025 's cluster competition, with posters, volunteering, and ... HPC rulez
