As GPU technology continues to advance, the demand for faster data continues to grow. In deep learning, input pipelines are responsible for a complex chain of actions that ultimately feed data into GPU memory, including reading from storage and pre-processing data. These pipelines bring together multiple hardware systems, networking, CPUs, and storage along with sophisticated software systems to drive the data movement and transformation.Key Takeaways • “AI" is a Data Pipeline • Don’t Throw Your Data into Data Lake • Cloud or Not to Cloud? • Moving into full production and scaling paradoxSigurður Sæberg Þorsteinsson, CEO of Advania in Denmark and Renen Hallak, CEO of VAST Data will join Johnny on the stage and will be available to answer questions.&nbsp;The event is free to attend, but additional registration is required to secure your spot.<a href="https://advania.is/haustradstefna-advania/vast-data/" target="_BLANK">→ Click here for registration and more info</a>

In an era where Artificial Intelligence promises unprecedented advancements, we must confront a critical question: Is AI driving us towards a more inclusive future, or is it unintentionally deepening societal divides? This talk will explore the paradox of AI's impact on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB). We'll delve into the hidden biases within AI systems, how they might be reinforcing exclusionary practices, and whether technology is undermining our efforts to create a diverse and equitable society. By examining real-world examples, this talk will reflect on the risks and opportunities AI presents, and what this means for the future of inclusivity in our workplaces and communities.

Did Bruce Willis really have to walk on broken glass and blow up half of Nakatomi Plaza to save the hostages in Die Hard? Or could that desperate and costly response have been avoided with some level-headed but boring security measures?&nbsp; In this presentation, we will explore practical methods for any organization to implement sensible security, manage risk, and increase resilience—without sacrificing business goals. By following straightforward principles and real-world examples, we'll show how to keep IT security the way it should be: boring.

The University Hospital Landspítali has been investing in webMethods Integration for nearly 20 years. During this time, it has built an extensive IT infrastructure to synchronize data between systems and various devices, as well as to provide a vast collection of APIs. These integration capabilities enable, for instance, a unified view of relevant data for healthcare workers. Recently, Landspítali has transitioned to a transaction-based license and is now planning a journey towards a more hybrid and modular environment to reduce operational efforts and improve the platform's resilience.Adeline will outline the overall complexity of the current integration platform, emphasizing the main challenges Landspítali faces with the existing setup. She will then explain how they plan to leverage new capabilities to enhance the platform and share their vision for the future integration landscape
