Talk at ILEA
Sitemap
I'm currently visiting Porto Alegre for two weeks and Philippe Navaux asked me to briefly participate to a series of lectures aimed at the general public. Building on this previous talk I have thus given a short talk on Large Scale Computing Infrastructure Challenges.
The other speakers were:
- Philippe Navaux, with whom our group and the University of Grenoble has a long standing collaboration, and who works on HPC,
- Luís Lamb, who is currently the head of the computer science institute of UFRGS and who works in AI,
- Sérgio Bampi, who works on Microelectronic design and had a major influence on the development of the
So I was really a junior here. :) I didn't really know the rules of the game so I had prepared a really general public talk to give a feeling of the kind of challenges that can computer scientists have to face.
Although the audience was not only comprising computer scientists I have to say that some of the other speakers prepared a much deeper discussion on the impact of computer science on society, on ethics, on the scientific approach, and so on. So I really enjoyed all these discussions and was fully in line with these talks, in particular the one of Sergio Bampi, which was quite provocative but perfectly sound, and that I particularly enjoyed. :)
