SUMMARY:Seminar:   Challenges in Operational Technology for the Process Industry
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe following main challenges at the interface of automation technology\, process technology and information technology will be discussed: \n\nModels within the life-cycle\nVertical integration from ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) to actuator and vice versa\nHorizontal integration requirements for highly reliable solutions\nHuman Machine Integration\n\nFor all of these challenges the state-of-the-art and current BASF approaches will be presented. \nThe goal of the seminar is to create awareness for practical problems in the process industry and stimulate further discussions\, as well as how the scientific community can contribute to develop improved solutions for these existing and upcoming challenges. \nShort Bio\nDr Birk obtained his PhD on Computer-aided analysis and design of nonlinear observers in 1992 from the University of Stuttgart. He joined BASF afterwards\, and has had several roles in the company ranging through Engineer in Advanced process Control to Senior Manager of Automation Technology to his current position as Vice President\, Executive Expert of Automation Technology. Dr Birk has lectured on several Master courses at the University of Stuttgart\, on Process Control and Production IT\, and recently on Operational technology.

SUMMARY:HiPEDS Seminar - Big graphs on big machines
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Tim Harris\, Oracle Labs Cambridge \nSeminar Title: HiPEDS Seminar – Big graphs on big machines \nAbstract: Oracle’s largest SPARC M7 system provides 4096 hardware threads spread over 16 sockets in one cache-coherent address space. I will talk about our experience tuning graph analytics workloads to run well on this system\, and how we went from an implementation that stopped scaling at around 200 threads to a version that provides super-linear speed-ups on PageRank and SSSP running on 1TB+ inputs over the full machine.  I will focus on the interactions between the threads and the memory system\, and the lessons we learned in terms of how to allocate memory and distribute work on these large NUMA systems. \nBio: Tim Harris leads the Oracle Labs group in Cambridge\, UK.  His research interests span multiple layers of the stack\, including parallel programming\, VMM / OS / runtime-system interaction\, and opportunities for specialized architecture support for particular workloads.  He has also worked on the implementation of software transactional memory for multi-core computers\, and the design of programming language features based on it.  He is a co-author of the Morgan Claypool book Transactional Memory.  Tim has a BA and PhD in computer science from Cambridge University Computer Laboratory.  He was on the faculty at the Computer Laboratory from 2000-2004 where he led the department’s research on concurrent data structures and contributed to the Xen virtual machine monitor project.  He was at Microsoft Research from 2004\, and then joined Oracle Labs in 2012. \n \nSlides
