We're pleased to offer Diversity Travel Grants to support early-career academics and PhD students from under-represented groups to attend IRTF meetings co-located with #IETF121 Meeting in Dublin in November 2024. irtf.org/travelgrants/ – apply by September 2, 2024 #IETF

Do you know in-network computing? Did you like Planter? We are recruiting a postdoc researcher! Join us at Engineering Science, Oxford and work on the next generation of P4 solutions for SmartEdge (@[email protected])! jobs.ac.uk/job/DJG317/ Deadline Sep-13th

We’re launching three climate programmes in early September To support these programmes + advance knowledge in each of these fields, we’ll need new multidisciplinary teams to come together: + Share your expertise + capabilities you’re looking for + We’ll help you connect with

The Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) awards for #IETF121 in Dublin will do to Sawsan El-Zahr, for her work to reduce the carbon footprint of Internet routing, and Mingshi Wu, for his work to understand censorship of fully encrypted traffic – irtf.org/anrp/

Spreading the word. The call for papers for MobySys 2025 is out. The PC co-chairs (Przemysław Pawełczak & Swarun Kumar) were thoughtful about including new topics and refining the selection process. Please take a look and submit your best work. sigmobile.org/mobisys/2025/c…

From (Energy) Farm to Table Tuesday 22 October, 5.30pm-7pm Flora Anderson Hall, Somerville College Part of IF Oxford Oxford Science & Ideas Festival Speakers: Timothy Rafferty, Sawsan El Zahr, Dr Christopher Vogel, Dr Eve Schooler The current government goal to achieve

Current mechanisms for training AI systems utilise a narrow set of algorithms/hardware building blocks and require significant capital to develop + produce. In Scaling Compute, we’re funding 12 teams of Creators in an effort to reduce the cost of AI hardware by >1000x ↓ (1/2)

Super excited to be leading a new Scalable AI Systems project @OxEngSci, funded by ARIA, with my colleagues Amro Awad, Prof Martin J Booth, Nick McKeown, Dominic O’Brien and Patrick Salter. We are recruiting PhD students, postdocs and PM eng.ox.ac.uk/computing/glass

The Applied Networking Research Prize award talks by Sawsan El-Zahr and Mingshi Wu will take place today, at 17:30 UTC, in the IRTF Open Meeting. Sawsan will talk about Exploring the Benefits of Carbon-Aware Routing, while Mingshi Wu will… 1/2

Also today, for those at the meeting in Dublin, a side-meeting at 14:30 will discuss a proposal to form a Sustainability and the Internet research group (a follow-on online meeting in a couple of weeks will seek feedback from those not at IETF in-person)

🏆Congratulations to xinpeng and Changgang Zheng 🎉 An amazing project using Planter for ML-driven, ultra-low latency applications.

We’re pleased to announce the formation of the Sustainability and the Internet Proposed Research Group (SUSTAIN RG). The chairs are Ali Rezaki, Eve Schooler, and Michael Welzl. 1/4

Our Scaling Compute programme set itself the challenge of reducing AI training costs by 1000x in an effort to solve for the growing asymmetry between demand for compute and its supply: but how do you set goals in an industry where the goalposts are always shifting?

There is still time to apply for a Phd (DPhil) Engineering Science, Oxford and join our disruptive project!

Our Dagstuhl Report on "Greening Networking: Toward a Net Zero Internet" is finally out! Thank you to the many contributors and the co-organizers: Alex Clemm, Dirk Kutscher, Michael Welzl & Cedric Westphal simone ferlin-reiter drops.dagstuhl.de/entities/docum…
