See demos of real-world solutions from companies like Beewant and Weaviate*, as well as impactful open source projects like Ginkgo and more. Understand how the community and industry is extending its support of oneAPI through its implementation of the open standard. Learn what oneAPI is, future plans for it, and how you can contribute and influence the oneAPI standard and solutions to maximize value for you, the developer.

Speakers

Tony Mongkolsmai is a software architect and technical evangelist at Intel. He has 20 years of industry experience designing, implementing, and leading production grade software solutions. Tony was a lead architect for Intel’s performance tools team, and also led an engineering team that designed and implemented a cloud-native, scale-out AI data center for Intel. He also was part of the group that successfully proposed the creation of a Sustainability Technical Advisory Group for the Cloud Native Compute Foundation (CNCF).

Sebastian Witalec is the head of Developer Relations at Weaviate. He loves working on serious and fun projects, and one day he will use his robot army to conquer the world. He is always happy to learn new stuff and to pass the knowledge as far as his voice (or the wire) can take him. Sebastian is based in Copenhagen, actively working with various developer communities across Europe. When not acting techie, he is a massive football fan and player (probably bigger at heart than in skills).

Ahmed Joudad is the founder of Beewant, a data platform that provides high-quality training data to companies building AI applications. He spent most of his career working for a global provider of financial market data and infrastructure. He’s always had a passion for technology, particularly AI and machine learning. Ahmed believes that the key to unlocking the full potential of AI is to provide companies with clean, accurate data that would enable their algorithms to learn and improve.

Hartwig Anzt is the director of the Innovative Computing Lab (ICL) and professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department of the University of Tennessee. He also holds a senior research scientist position at Steinbuch Centre for Computing at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. Hartwig holds a PhD in applied mathematics and specializes in iterative methods and preconditioning techniques for the next generation hardware architectures. He is author of the Matrix Algebra on GPU and Multi-core Architectures (MAGMA) Sparse open source software package and the managing lead of the Ginkgo math software library. Hartwig is the principal investigator (PI) of software technology projects that are part of the US Exascale Computing Project (ECP), including a coordinated effort aimed at integrating low-precision functionality into high-accuracy simulation codes. He is also a PI in the EuroHPC Project MICROCARD.

Rafael Lago has his computer science PhD with a strong academic background. He has worked in research institutes in Brazil, Canada, France, and Germany and is specialized in numerical linear algebra and MPI. He has applied his expertise on seismology, geophysics, plasma physics, and applied mathematics applications. In January 2022, Rafael joined Intel as a technical consulting engineer (TCE) in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) team.
