On July 8, 2021, “AI Application and Heterogeneous Memory Programming Challenge” jointly hosted by the Fourth Paradigm and Intel will officially kick off! Based on artificial intelligence applications, Intel ® Upton ™ persistent memory and heterogeneous memory architecture as the hardware base, the competition is a combination of cutting-edge application exploration and core programming challenge. The contest has been recommended and recognized by ACM World Champion, ACM Outstanding Scientist of the Year and Intel chief Persistent Memory Architect. Welcome the IT industry developers, college computer majors, and people interested in heterogeneous memory to participate in the competition.

[Message from the Presidium]

“This is the first time we have held an AI developer competition based on open source technology components of the Fourth paradigm. Through the competition, participants can experience the most advanced technology in the industry and expand the technological realm to new dimensions and heights.” — Zheng Zhao, President of the Competition, Vice President of Fourth Paradigm technology, and chief of basic technology R&D (Zheng Zhao, 2010 ACM World Champion, worked in Silicon Valley for many years and Google display advertising architecture team successively, As the head of Pinterest search architecture and personalization team, he has rich experience in large-scale search architecture, personalized recommendation architecture, machine learning system architecture and technical team management.

“This competition is based on our VLDB paper published last year (vldb.org/pvldb/vol14…). Key technical points. Give players a hands-on experience of how emerging hardware can be used to improve system performance. I highly recommend everyone to enter this competition.” Dr. He Bingsheng, Associate Professor and Vice President of The School of Computer Science, National University of Singapore, co-chaired the Contest. He has also served as co-chair of the VLDB Presentation 2017 and jury Co-chair of IEEE CloudCom 2014/2015. He was named ACM Distinguished Scientist in 2020 and has received multiple paper awards and honorary titles at prestigious international conferences and journals.)

“This competition involves research papers and related white papers presented by Intel and Paradigm 4 at the Top-level Database Conference (www.intel.cn/content/www…). The content of the. In order to help more developers experience advanced memory technology, understand its value, and learn this programming model, I sincerely invite you to participate in this competition.” — Andy Ruodff, Co-chair of the competition, chief Persistent Memory Architect of Intel, pioneer of non-volatile memory programming (Andy Ruodff, Chief Data Center and Persistent memory Architect of Intel Upton, core member of PMDK PMC)
