Seminarios 2023-2024

Generic programming has been the backbone of the ISO C++ standard library and much other code for decades. With C++20 the support for generic programming has improved to the point where we can improve our design techniques.

This talk reviews the current language support for generic programming focusing on concepts, compile-time evaluation, type deduction, and modules. Relying on those features significantly improves the ways we can express our ideas.

I will also present a few examples where even C++23 doesn’t completely support the needs of modern generic programming.

SESSION

• November 22, from 15:00 to 17:00 │ Classroom 2.3.C02B

In this seminar, we will introduce two hot topics in the world of artificial intelligence and high performance computing: SYCL and MLIR.

The first half of the seminar will be devoted to SYCL, an open programming model for heterogeneous computing based on C++, which allows programmers to write code that will run on CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs and other accelerators. After this introduction, we will do a short tutorial in which we will learn how to write a simple program using SYCL that can run on various hardware. In this way, we will all be able to use SYCL in our future projects.

Next, we will introduce MLIR, a compiler framework created by Google and now part of the LLVM project. One of the main motivations behind MLIR was to obtain an infrastructure for machine learning compilers, but it was always conceived as a generic solution to the problems of modern compiler frameworks. As an example of use, we will show SYCL-MLIR, a collaborative project between Codeplay and Intel that uses MLIR to accelerate SYCL applications.
 

SPEAKER

Víctor Pérez │ CodePlay

Victor Perez is a software engineer at Codeplay Software, where he is part of the compiler R&D team, mainly focused on SYCL compilers. Recently, he has participated in the development of SYCL-MLIR, a new frontend for clang based on MLIR. He studied computer engineering at UPM and a joint master's degree at UPM, UCM and UAM. During this time, he worked at IMDEA software, developing static analysis and verification of Prolog programs.

Seminar on the aspects of the computer engineering profession, the role of the professional associations of computer engineering as well as the regulation of computer science in the current context.
 

SPEAKER

Fernando Suárez Lorenzo │ President, Consejo General de Colegios de Ingeniería en Informática
 

SESSION

• Friday October 20, from 15:00 to 17:00  │ Classroom 2.3.C02B

The talk will show the advances in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) from its beginnings to the latest innovations in Generative Artificial Intelligence, such as ChatGPT, the chatbot of the company OpenAI whose launch has been the fastest in history, reaching one million users in just five days.

The evolution of PLN in the framework of Artificial Intelligence and the results of these systems will be reviewed, showing their achievements, their current limitations and the areas in which researchers are working to improve their accuracy and extend their capabilities.

SESSION

• Wednesday, October 18, from 15:00 to 17:00 │ Classroom 2.3.C02B

Have you ever wondered why STEM profiles are in the majority within the financial markets? Did you know how new technologies impact the way in which financial markets are traded? Do you know how machine learning or high performance computing impact the way business is done?

During our seminar we hope to solve these questions, but generate some more.
