Day 1 (Tuesday 9th April 2019)
The first day of EMiT 2019 is dedicated to two technical workshops that will run in parallel. Delegates will need to decide before the event which stream they will attend. The committee will be in contact beforehand for your decision. Download details and the full programmes here:
- Deep Learning workshop using both NVIDIA GPUs and a new Neuromorphic platform called SpiNNaker via a software toolchain called SPANNER. A laptop will be required for this workshop.
- Quantum computing workshop delivered by IBM Research. This will provide a mixture of taught and practical elements, including use of real quantum hardware. Either bring your own laptop or a number of fixed workstations will be available on a first come, first served basis.
