• Leveraging AI in Generative Assets and Environments for Play

In this presentation, I will explore the recent advancements in AI-driven production of 3D-generative assets and environments, particularly focusing on their application in creating immersive, playful experiences. Platforms such as ChatGPT, Suno, and Speechify have ushered in a new era of digital creativity, facilitating the development of environments that not only entertain but also serve educational purposes. This session will delve into how these technologies are integrated into academic settings, specifically through a case study of the English Department's Digital Media Lab, known as Tech/Tech, which opened in 2022.

• A “Hands-on” Introduction to OpenMP*

Open Multi-Processing, is an API designed to simplify the integration of parallelism in software development, particularly for applications running on multi-core processors and shared-memory systems. It is an important resource as it goes over what openMP and ways to work with it. It is especially important because it provides a straightforward way to express parallelism in code through pragma directives, making it easier to create parallel regions, parallelize loops, and define critical sections. The key benefit of OpenMP lies in its ease of use, automatic thread management, and portability across various compilers and platforms. For app development, especially in the context of mobile or desktop applications, OpenMP can enhance performance by leveraging the capabilities of modern multi-core processors. By parallelizing computationally intensive tasks, such as image processing, data analysis, or simulations, apps can run faster and more efficiently, providing a smoother user experience and taking full advantage of the available hardware resources. OpenMP's scalability allows apps to adapt to different hardware configurations, making it a valuable tool for developers aiming to optimize their software for a range of devices and platforms.
