Final MICROCARD workshop and Cardiac Physiome meeting September 2024

The last MICROCARD workshop will be organized together with the annual meeting of the Cardiac Physiome Society, on 12 to 14 September 2024 in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. It will be part of a supercluster of events around MICROCARD hotspot Karlsruhe:

Stuttgart and Freiburg are a 45 minutes and 1 hour train ride away from Karlsruhe, respectively, so it's easy to attend all three meetings.

25 September 2024: Thesis defense Arun Thangamani

Arun Thangamani successfully defended his thesis "Optimized Code Generation of Parallel and Polyhedral Loop Nests using MLIR" at the University of Strasbourg. This is the first thesis supported completely by the MICROCARD project.

September 2024: Three meetings in southern Germany

MICROCARD members participated in three consecutive cardiac physiology/computing meetings that took place in southern Germany.

4-6 September: the Virtual Physiological Human (VPH) meeting in Stuttgart.

8-11 September: the Computing in Cardiology (CinC) meeting in Karlsruhe.

12-14 September: the Cardiac Physiome combined with the final MICROCARD workshop in Freiburg.

Together these meetings saw over two dozen MICROCARD contributions, an appropriate goodbye to the project which formally ends on 30 September.

MICROCARD-2!

Our proposal for MICROCARD to continue as a "Center of Excellence" leads the ranking for the call HORIZON-EUROHPC-JU-2023-COE-03 and is now in the negotiation stage. The exact starting date is not known yet.
