Computing Platforms Seminar Series (COMPASS)

The Computing Platforms Seminar Series (COMPASS) is focused on talks by industry and academia around the general topic of computing platforms.

COMPASS is held on most Thursdays during the semester 10:00-11:00 (with some exceptions) in CAB E 72.


Upcoming Talks 


Due to the ongoing situation, the COMPASS seminar is cancelled during the Spring Semester 2020. We will resume in Fall 2020.
