CoD Summit^3: Igniting the Future of Compute Over Data in Boston

Join us on 9-10 May 2023 for the CoD Summit^3, a deep dive into Compute Over Data, Decentralized Compute, and AI, exploring the future of computation across the spectrum.

We are thrilled to announce the upcoming Compute over Data Summit (CoD Summit^3) on 9-10 May 2023 at The Westin Copley Place in Boston, Massachusetts. This two-day conference, organized by the Compute over Data working group, is set to be an insightful experience for both in-person and online attendees. With approximately 1000 participants expected, the CoD Summit^3 aims to foster conversations about increasing adoption, CoD directions, and collaboration by bringing together brilliant minds in the field. The summit aims to cover distributed datasets, edge centers, WASM technologies, reproducible builds, and consensus.

Exploring the Spectrum of Compute Over Data

Compute Over Data (CoD) is an innovative approach emphasizing decentralized compute, AI, and data processing. The CoD Summit^3 is dedicated to exploring the possibilities, challenges, and advancements across the spectrum of Compute Over Data, covering distributed datasets, edge, data centers, and technologies such as WASM, reproducible builds, and consensus.

Who's Behind the CoD Summit^3?

The CoD Summit^3 is curated by the Compute over Data working group. This open, community-driven organization aims to create a space for collaboration between teams building decentralized Compute over Data platforms. This group comprises professionals, researchers, and enthusiasts who share a passion for developing and promoting the field of Compute over Data.

What will the event entail?

The CoD Summit^3 will feature talks from field experts, including:

• David Aronchick, Head of Compute over Data at Protocol Labs

• Peter Wang, CEO at Anaconda

• Brooklyn Zelenka, Co-Founder and CTO at Fission

• Bernhard Borges from Fluence Labs

Notable attendees include:

• Juan Bennet, Founder, and CEO at Protocol Labs

• Molly Mackinlay, Engineering and Research Lead at Protocol Labs

• David Dias, Creator of libp2p and IPLD

These experts will delve into various themes and topics revolving around Compute over Data, such as platforms, data sources, supporting systems, and communities needed to make Compute over Data a reality. Their talks will be recorded and posted on the Bacalhau YouTube channel for online access.

Additionally, the summit will feature unconference tracks and a hackathon to build on the ideas generated during the event. Sample topics include:

• Pain points with compute & data processing today

• Key user experiences to address

• New technologies on the horizon (e.g., WASM, reproducible builds, zkSNARKS, etc.)

• Improving reliability, portability, and cost-effectiveness

• Integrating content addressing with data processing for reproducibility

• Pitfalls to avoid in Compute over Data

The CoD Summit^3 aims to make 2023 a breakthrough year for numerous products in the distributed computing space. By attending, you'll have the chance to engage in fascinating discussions, expand your knowledge, and contribute to the field's growth. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from and connect with some of the brightest minds in Compute over Data.
