Dyalog ’19 Videos: Week 10
The release of the final set of videos from the Dyalog ’19 user meeting in Elsinore slipped into 2020, thus providing me with a perfect opportunity to wish you all a Happy New Year from all of us at Dyalog! We are wrapping up with recordings from the Prize Ceremony for the 11th annual Problem […]
Dyalog ’19 Videos: Week 9
Depending on which day you decide to watch this recording, you may get a different answer from the one that Richard did as he answered his own question (“Is It Christmas Yet?”) in the first minute of his presentation. Of course, the true purpose of the talk was to show off a potential new system […]
Dyalog ’19 Videos: Week 8
When Aaron Hsu was at Dyalog ’19 in Elsinore, he was preparing the defence of his PhD Thesis on A Data Parallel Compiler Hosted on the GPU. In his talk “Lessons for the Masses from the Trenches of Co-dfns” he looks back on some of the key lessons learned while working on the PhD and […]
Dyalog ’19 Videos: Week 7
Week 7 features talks by two recent additions to the Dyalog team. Richard Park joined Dyalog a year ago, and his primary focus is the production of new teaching materials. Nathan Rogers is the newest member of our US consulting team and is based in Denver, Colorado. Jupyter notebooks have recently become a very popular […]
Dyalog ’19 Videos: Week 6
Scrinium is a portfolio management system that can handle a comprehensive range of financial assets, collect them into “portfolios”, and compute returns (SR, ANN, TWR), risk (Std, VaR, Duration, Convexit, Delta, Gamma, Sharpe) and relative risk (Alpha, Beta, Jensens Alpha, Tracking Error). It deals with benchmarks, and so on and so forth. However, Claus Madsen’s […]
Dyalog ’19 Videos: Week 5
In week 5 of the Dyalog ’19 videos, Francesco Garue tells how, after APL Italiana was acquired by SimCorp and became SimCorp Italiana, the two development teams got to know each other by sharing some code. At the time, APL Italiana’s SOFIA product contained a “Rebalancer”, a central component of Asset and Liability Management systems, […]
Dyalog '19 Videos: Week 4
Welcome to week 4 of the Dyalog ’19 recordings! This week, Tommy Johannesen of Jersie Data tells us about an interesting application that he has written in Dyalog APL. In the Copenhagen area, many school children are “fed with APL” in the sense that Tommy’s APL system connects the parents of ten thousand hungry children […]
Dyalog '19 Videos: Week 3
In the third week of Dyalog ’19 recordings, Stig Nielsen from SimCorp A/S talks about recent work to turn a very large body of APL code, originally designed to work well on workstations, into a 3-tier solution. This requires turning everything “inside out”, making the application a service that can be called from cloud-based components. […]
Dyalog '19 Videos: Week 2
Welcome to the second week of recordings from Dyalog ’19 in Elsinore! This week we are featuring three presentations about work that is either already available, or will appear in Dyalog version 18.0 in 2020. All three talks are by members of the Dyalog development team, but Adám Brudzewsky’s talk on APLcart is labelled U14 […]
Welcome to the Dyalog '19 Videos!
It is still true that most APL users live north of the equator, which means that at this time of year the sun is below the horizon more than half the time. It’s the perfect time to snuggle up in a warm place and watch some videos, and we’ll be offering you about three a […]
Dyalog ’19: Thursday 12 September
Dyalog Pictures Ltd? After a wonderful banquet dinner bonding with fellow teammates of last night’s Viking Challenge, we were invited to the Jorns Auditorium for the world premiere of our movies from earlier in the day. The screening and awards show was a roaring success with everybody being surprised and thrilled at the quality of […]
Dyalog ’19: Wednesday 11 September
Floaty balls In contrast with Monday night’s brain-bending puzzles, last night there was some lighter entertainment as Richard Park presented his molecular dynamics framework APLPhys. He showed us how elegantly APL could express mathematical equations and we joined in his fascination watching simulations of little balls flying around on his MiServer based graphical interface. APL […]
Dyalog ’19: Tuesday 10 September
2⍴⊂’APL’ Last night Roberto Minervini and his students Pietro Pio Palumbo, Gabriele Meroni and Alessandro Laselli of Liceo Scientifico GB Grassi Saronno conducted A Puzzle League – sneakily introducing us to another APL. The delegates were divided into teams who competed to solve 18 maths and logic puzzles, which could be solved both using APL […]
Dyalog '19: Monday 9 September
Dyalog ’19 talks begin As usual, we began the series of User Meeting talks with a warm welcome from Managing Director Gitte Christensen. This year Gitte’s message felt somewhat spiritual as she described the lore of Thor’s hammer Mjölnir and its place in formal ceremonies. The choice of logo for this year’s User Meeting feels […]
Dyalog ’19: Sunday 8 September
Welcome back This year once again the Dyalog User Meeting returns to beautiful Elsinore in Denmark. The historic seaside city is home to Kronborg castle, famously immortalised in Shakespeare’s Hamlet – and Kromberg castle, where Morten lives. We are holding the user meeting at Konventum in the western outskirts of Elsinore. It features winding corridors […]
