@c20 Congrats Yuka!!

[AJR @rootjalex]

I’ll be presenting both of these papers at 10:40 and 11 at OOPSLA (in San Gabriel) on Thursday this week! Come by if you’re at SPLASH :) And stick around for my labmate’s talk on compiling dense and sparse recurrences afterwards!

[Aart Bik @AartBik]

I am very proud that our MLIR-Sparsifier/Stanford cooperation has resulted in two accepted papers at OOPSLA 2024: featuring sparse reshaping and sparse convolutions. Kudos to the first authors @rootjalex and
@Peiming_Liu for a job well-done!

Check out Wesley, Xuanda, and Yash's latest work on combining cross bilateral filtering and Adam to make optimization in graphics more robust and fast, through better preconditioning the gradient.

@geofflangdale There’s been some cool work from Milind Kulkarni’s group on utilizing RT cores for various geometric queries:

@JesseMMichel Oh no!! I hope you recover quickly

@Omar4ur The examples on the website look like that operator is used with base 10 though, so I guess the semantics are `a | k = (a + (10 ^ (k - 1))) / 10^k`?

[AJR @rootjalex]

@Omar4ur That sounds like a rounding shift right operator, which is used in digital signal processing to do a rounding-up division by a power of two: `a | k = (a + (1 << (k - 1))) >> k `. e.g. `a | 2 = (a + (1 << 1)) >> 2 = (a + 2) / 4`.

@TaliaRinger Everything is on the first floor of the hotel! If you go down the stairs in the main lobby and turn right at the base of the stairs (following signs for Cypress), you should find the conference. When I checked in yesterday, the registration was across from Cypress 2 I think

We are hosting the inaugural MIT Programming Languages Review workshop on May 30th! The MIT PLR is a student-run committee that aims to highlight recent developments that we believe have significant potential to shape the future direction of PL research and/or industry practice.

@JustinMSolomon @ana_dodik @tzumaoli I wish it were possible to super-like a tweet

@avanhatt Congratulations!!!

[Josh Cashaback @JCashaback]

Good luck to all the PhD students this week, where all their family try to understand what they do and ask when they will be done.

[AJR @rootjalex]

@ajay9470 goodluck ajay!

Applying to grad school in EE/CS this fall? …need help?

Ask the MIT EECS Graduate Application Assistance Program! GAAP pairs applicants who need help with current PhD students for 1:1 mentoring. We match mentors weekly so it's never too late to sign up! https://t.co/EIKCHB1YeY

@JustinMSolomon @ohbaudelaire You know it’s a match made in heaven when they also whip out their own old man phone case 👀
