The Compilers, Architecture, and Parallel Computing (CAP) Seminar is geared toward anyone affiliated with the University of Illinois to discuss research in these three (and tangential) areas. We meet once a week and critique papers, practice presentations, and discuss ideas.
Please email the CAP Seminar organizers if you have any questions or want to present in the seminar.
