Seminar

Marijn Heule, Research Assistant Professor
University of Texas at Austin

Progress in satisfiability (SAT) solving has enabled answering long-standing open questions in mathematics completely automatically, resulting in clever though potentially gigantic proofs. We illustrate the success of this approach by presenting the solution of the Boolean Pythagorean triples problem. We also produced and validated a proof of the solution, which has been called the "largest math proof ever."

Seminar • Networks and Distributed Systems RAMP: RDMA Migration Platform

Babar Naveed Memon, Master’s candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) can be used to implement a shared storage abstraction or a shared nothing abstraction for distributed applications. We argue that the shared storage abstraction is an overkill for loosely coupled applications and that the shared nothing abstraction does not leverage all the benefits of RDMA.
