Bonjour,

Nous avons le plaisir de vous inviter à une journée consacrée aux 50 ans des travaux de Gilles Kahn sur les modèles et langages de programmation parallèles, avec un focus particulier sur les modèles dataflow.

Cet événement est organisé par le GDR SOC2 en collaboration avec le GDR RO/GT OSI (Optimisation des Systèmes Intégrés).

N’hésitez pas à vous inscrire ! Nous serions ravis de vous y retrouver.

Bien à vous,

Lilia Zaourar & Kevin Martin
