Oxford Programming Language Seminar - PL and Emerging Hardware

Jeremy Gibbons and I decided to run a seminar series in Oxford. We invited people to speak about new developments in hardware and their relationship with or requirements from programming languages.

We had fantastic outside speakers:

• Peter Braam - PL and Emerging Hardware overview (slides)
• John Gustafson (NUS) spoke about POSITS
• Steve Pawlowski (Micron) - described the tremendous impact of ML on the hardware
• Paul Kelly (UCL) spoke about FireDrake (slides)
• Hironori Kasahara (Waseda University) - the OSCAR parallel compiler and its applications (slides)
• Simon Knowles (Graphcore) - spoke about the Graphcore architecture
• Priyanka Raina (Stanford) - the AHA project (slides)
• Albert Cohen (Google) - MLIR (slides)
