covers the latest research topics in the theory, practice, and teaching
of performance engineering.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- algorithm design and implementation;
- techniques for improving parallelism and locality;
- high-performance programming languages and frameworks;
- compilers for parallel code;
- tools for analyzing performance;
- hardware techniques for improving performance;
- parallel and concurrent data structures;
- models and algorithms for emerging technologies;
- high-performance solutions for databases, operating systems,
networking, and artificial intelligence;
- and just plain clever hacks.
Our next seminar is Monday July 14, 2025, and features Renato Werneck
(Amazon) speaking on:
🎯 "Last Mile Deliveries at Amazon"
🗓️ Monday, July 14, 2025, 12PM EDT
🔗 Zoom registration required: [4]
Abstract
Amazon delivers tens of millions of shipments worldwide on a daily
basis. Planning the last-mile routes that reach final customers requires
solving massive combinatorial optimization problems at scale. This talk
discusses the many challenges associated with planning these routes,
including the crucial role played by performance optimization.
Bio
Renato Werneck is a Senior Principal Scientist at the Modeling and
Optimization team at Amazon, working on algorithms to optimize Last Mile
deliveries. Before joining Amazon in 2014, he was at Microsoft Research
Silicon Valley for eight years. His research interests include Algorithm
Engineering, Data Structures, and Combinatorial Optimization, with a
focus on the design, analysis, implementation, and experimental
evaluation of practical algorithms. He holds a doctoral degree in
Computer Science from Princeton University, a master's degree in
Informatics from PUC-Rio, and a bachelor's degree in Computer
Engineering from Unicamp.
The seminar organizing committee includes Jakub Łącki, Roberto Palmieri,
Christian Schulz, Julian Shun, Yihan Sun, and Bruce Hoppe. If you'd like
