Trino Summit 2023: Pinterest: Journey to achieving 2x efficiency improvement on Trino (December 13 and 14, 2023)

Trino usage has been growing at Pinterest each year, which comes with growing costs and increased demand for the existing Trino clusters. To help reduce costs and serve their Trino users, the engineering team there has migrated to AWS Graviton, taken advantage of Trino improvements, consolidated traffic, improved job scheduling, and worked to optimize their data and metadata formats. The end result has been a reduction in cost and an increase in query throughput. They’ll be sharing the details of the effort it took to make Trino faster and cheaper at the same time.

HPC and AI on Arm architecture: Observations, learnings and path forward (Monday 18 Dec 2023)

This workshop is aimed at providing a “birds-eye” view of the latest contributions and progress in industry and academia for furthering Arm architecture adoption for HPC and AI. Specifically, it is important to highlight several systems that are available today based on Fujitsu’s A64FX, AWS Graviton3, Ampere Altra processors. In addition, the Arm HPC/ AI ecosystem has mature software tools and applications. New designs based on Arm architecture such as “Rhea” CPU by SiPearl, ETRI and “Grace” CPU by Nvidia reinforce the value proposition of Arm for HPC/ AI.
