Seminars

The PDS seminar is organized by the Benagil team of Inria Saclay and Telecom SudParis.

You can also download a calendar of the seminars by clicking here: .

It consists of presentations of research work in parallel systems, distributed systems, distributed computing, high-performance computing, and high-performance data analytics. Usually, the seminar takes place every Friday at 10 a.m. at TSP/Palaiseau. The PDS seminar consists of three types of presentations:

Invited talk: a presentation of research work by an invited researcher,
Team work: a presentation of ongoing research work by researchers at IP Paris,
Reading group: a presentation by a master’s student of a paper published by another institute.

If you want to receive announcements about upcoming seminars, please send an email to Gaël Thomas or François Trahay.

For master’s students, attending some of the seminars is mandatory. The mandatory seminars have the icon. You can download a calendar that only contains the mandatory seminars here, or a calendar with all the seminars that indicates which ones are mandatory here.

You can also find a page that includes past seminars here.
