SUMMARY:Creative Interventions (CI) Series
DESCRIPTION:Creative Interventions (CI) is a community colloquium in contemporary creativity and creative practices that addresses the interconnected work of artists\, designers\, activists\, and knowledge workers—and the intrinsic and transformative capacity of that work to cultivate a just society. \nThe CI Speaker Series raises questions of import to contemporary creative workers in media and technology:\n– How do creative workers address their most challenging problems?\n– How does creative labor intersect with other forms of labor to nurture the world views and cultural practices of our democracy? \nThe Creative Interventions (CI) Series is co-sponsored by the Arts Division’s Creative Technologies program and Porter College at UC Santa Cruz.\n—\nADMISSION\n– Free and open to UCSC affiliates.\n– All events in the series are presented online with registration required.\n– Refer to the individual event listings for more information and a link to register.\n—\nFULL SCHEDULE OF EVENTS\n– Wed.\, Oct 15\, 4:00 p.m.: “Expensive-Sounding Sounds” with Catherine Provenzano\n– Wed.\, Oct 29\, 4:00 p.m.: “Asymptote: Computation\, Disillusion\, and Enchantment” with Nora Khan\n– Additional event dates to be announced on the Creative Interventions events page here\n—\nThis program is open to all UC Santa Cruz affiliates consistent with state and federal law.

SUMMARY:CSE Colloquium - The C++11 Concurrency Memory Model: Remaining Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Hans Boehm\, Google \nAbstract: C++11 extended the language to include threads\, defining a concurrency memory model to specify the semantics of shared variables\, including “atomic” variables that can be accessed without mutual exclusion. Although this followed Posix threads by more than a decade\, and the revision of the Java memory model by a few years\, it still helped to resolve some very fundamental points of confusion about the semantics and validity of compiler optimizations in multi-threaded programs. The C definition largely copied it\, and several other programming languages and systems\, as well as later versions of Java\, built on it. \nThese shared variable semantics provide a clean solution for concurrent programming for which a small amount of extra synchronization-related overhead is acceptable. However\, C++ programmers pride themselves in squeezing out the last bit of performance\, even if it involves living on the edge. Although the C++ memory model attempts to address those cases\, issues remain. In particular\, so-called “relaxed” atomics do not have clean semantics\, for reasons that appear more and more fundamental. And the discovery that well-motivated hardware characteristics are incompatible with the original model required complicating it. On the other hand\, hardware improvements have greatly reduced the need for the now deprecated “memory_order_consume” facility. \nWe’ll start with an overview of the C++ memory model\, and then outline some of the remaining challenges. We’ll give an example to illustrate why “memory_order_relaxed”\, which attempts to just expose machine load and store instructions\, is inherently much harder to define at the programming language level than it is at the hardware level. \nBio: Hans Boehm works primarily on concurrency issues in the Android platform. He was the initial chair of the ISO C++ Concurrency Study Group\, where he led the addition of threads and associated concurrency semantics to the language. He occasionally gets sidetracked into other topics\, including work on arithmetic in the Google Calculator app.\n\nHans is best known as the original primary author of bdwgc\, a garbage collector for C. He has published extensively on memory management and concurrent programming. He holds a Ph.D. from Cornell University. He is a former chair of ACM SIGPLAN\, an ACM Fellow\, and the recipient of the 2020 ACM SIGPLAN Programming Languages Achievement Award.\nHosted by: Professor Mohsen Lesani \nLocation: Engineering 2\, E2-180\n*Refreshments such as coffee and pastries will be provided. \nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/93445911992?pwd=YkJ2TQtF79h0PcNXbEcpZLbpK0coiY.1&jst=3

SUMMARY:Enoughness in the Age of Comparison
DESCRIPTION:What does “enough” look like in your life—and who gets to decide? In a world that constantly pushes us to do\, earn\, and be more\, this webinar invites you to pause and reflect. Join a panel of UC alumni and financial wellness experts for a meaningful conversation about redefining financial success—not as accumulation\, but as alignment with your personal values. Discover practical strategies for building a life of sufficiency\, intention\, and peace of mind. \nHosted by UC Alumni Career Network\, and open to UC alumni at all career stages.

SUMMARY:Penumbra de la memoria: Brown Bag with Maya Scherr-Willson
DESCRIPTION:During this presentation\, Maya Scherr-Willson (PhD Student in the Film and Media Department) will show material and reflect on insights from a research trip that laid the groundwork for Penumbra de la memoria\, a feature documentary to be shot this summer. The project reunites eight women fifty years after they were held as political prisoners together during Argentina’s last military dictatorship to film an adaptation from memory of their prison-era performance of The House of Bernarda Alba by Federico García Lorca. The group\, engaged in collective work\, will be the protagonist of the film that chronicles the political memory that erupts through their creative process.
