HWBOT X San Pedro Sula Event Report (June 10, 2017)HWBOT
For the first time in Honduras, the first Amateur Overclocking Tournament will be held. This event took place in June at the San Pedro Sula University, which has provided us with support for what is Overclocking Community that Is being formed in the country.
http://x.hwbot.org/event/first-amateur-2017-overclocking-tournament/
On November 12th and 13th the FFOC (French Federation of Overclocking) held their first ever solo overclocking event in France. Dubbed the Atelier Overclocking and PC Building event, it was in fact also the very first HWBOT X event to take place in France. The event offered PC building classes plus a chance to engage in some competitive overclocking. It took place at Gamer’s Assembly Halloween Edition, a smaller version of the world LAN Party that played a pivotal part of the HWBOT World Tour earlier this year.
The HWBOT St.Benoit event was sponsored by HWBOT and Seasonic and hosted in the city of St. Benoit not far from Poitiers in France. Doors opened on Friday 11th when gamers, overclockers and enthusiasts were invited to get into in the venue and begin setting up in preparation for the two days to come. The doors were then opened on Saturday morning and remained open until 5pm on Sunday.

PAX Australia 2016 Panel "Pushing Limits: Going Beyond 8 GHz"HWBOT
The simplest and easiest way to understand a very general concept of overclocking is that of increasing the processor frequency to improve performance. The lucky few among you may have a system that runs at 5GHz or above. Extreme overclockers however, go well beyond that limit.
On November 4th 2016, Australian Overclockers held a public panel at the PAX AUS 2016 event at the Melbourne Convention center. Hosted at the Wombat Theater the panel will discuss the difficulties encountered when overclocking beyond 8GHz and will include an impressive live demo of an LN2 cooled overclocked system running at 8GHz!

It’s that time of the year again when overclocking teams on HWBOT start eyeing the HWBOT Team Cup, the ultimate prize in team-oriented overlocking. It’s a contest that pits dozens of teams of overclockers against each other with a total of thirty stages that covers virtually every hardware category imaginable.
Running throughout the months of July, August and September, the HWBOT Team Cup is surely the truest test of competitive team overclocking, requiring the broadest possible array of skill sets with overlockers invited to bench on everything from the latest Skylake and Haswell-E platforms to legacy Intel and AMD platforms including stages devoted to DDR2 and DDR tweaking as well as two newly devised ‘Dogpile’ stages that require you to make as many submission as possible on as many CPUs as possible.
This year’s contest involves five separate challenges or sub-competitions as we refer to them, each with an historical epoch in mind. Contest categories include Current Generation, Modern, Legacy, Vintage and Dogpile. Let’s look at the stages in more detail regarding specific hardware limitations and benchmarks.
GPUPI calculates the mathematical constant Pi in parallel by using the BPP formula and optimizing it for OpenCL capable devices like graphics cards and main processors. It's implemented with C++, STL and pure Win32 to avoid unnecessary dependencies. The result of the benchmark are exactly nine digits of pi in hexadecimal. So if you're calculating pi in 1B (1 billion) it will not output all digits like available serial calculations of Pi, but display only the nine digits after the billionth hexadecimal digit. This limitation is due to the nature of parallel implementations and the used Pi formula.

In this presentation, Pieter from HWBOT takes the audience down the rabbit hole of extreme overclocking. The aim of the presentation is to explain why Overclocking is more than a rich man's game. Overclocking requires skill, insight in technologies and science, and a solid problem-solving strategy.
"Overclocking is not something you can just pick up and do, you need to put a lot of love into it" - Joseph "Steponz" Stepongzi

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Overclocking Power Supplies
Virtually all of our power
supplies support the low-
power modes provided by
the new generation of
processors. These low
power modes have been in
place since the release of
4th generation Intel Core, so
if your power supply works
with your 4th or 5th
generation based system, it
will work with the new
motherboards, too.
Slide provided by Corsair.

• The mounting mechanism for
6th generation processors
hasn’t changed from previous
version.
Cooling Solutions for Overclocking
• All of our Intel-compatible
Hydro Series liquid CPU
coolers will work with your
new motherboard, with no
adapter necessary.

AIO Water Cooling 101 Radiator – the external heat
exchanger. In general, the
larger the radiator (both in
area and thickness) , the easier
it is to dissipate heat
Cold plate – this is the direct heat
exchange contact point with the
processor much like a traditional
heatsink. Material, finish (smoothness),
and QC (flatness) contribute to efficiency
Integrated pump. Cooled fluid
from the radiator is pumped in
and after the liquid takes on heat
from the CPU, it gets pumped out
to the radiator to expel the heat
Slide provided by Corsair.

Why Liquid Cool?
• Hydro liquid coolers are more effective than
stock CPU heat sink fans
• Corsair* Hydro* liquid CPU coolers are
quieter because fans don’t have to run as
fast
• Hydro coolers are completely self-
contained, with no filling or maintenance
needed
• Water cooling efficiency over air cooling is
simple physics. Do not argue with physics.

Risk FactorsThe above statements and any others in this document that refer to plans and expectations for the second quarter, the year and the future are forward-
looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Words such as "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks,"
"estimates," "may," "will," "should" and their variations identify forward-looking statements. Statements that refer to or are based on projections, uncertain
events or assumptions also identify forward-looking statements. Many factors could affect Intel's actual results, and variances from Intel's current
expectations regarding such factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Intel
presently considers the following to be important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the company's expectations. Demand for
Intel's products is highly variable and could differ from expectations due to factors including changes in business and economic conditions; consumer
confidence or income levels; the introduction, availability and market acceptance of Intel's products, products used together with Intel products and
competitors' products; competitive and pricing pressures, including actions taken by competitors; supply constraints and other disruptions affecting
customers; changes in customer order patterns including order cancellations; and changes in the level of inventory at customers. Intel's gross margin
percentage could vary significantly from expectations based on capacity utilization; variations in inventory valuation, including variations related to the
timing of qualifying products for sale; changes in revenue levels; segment product mix; the timing and execution of the manufacturing ramp and associated
costs; excess or obsolete inventory; changes in unit costs; defects or disruptions in the supply of materials or resources; and product manufacturing
quality/yields. Variations in gross margin may also be caused by the timing of Intel product introductions and related expenses, including marketing
expenses, and Intel's ability to respond quickly to technological developments and to introduce new products or incorporate new features into existing
products, which may result in restructuring and asset impairment charges. Intel's results could be affected by adverse economic, social, political and
physical/infrastructure conditions in countries where Intel, its customers or its suppliers operate, including military conflict and other security risks, natural
disasters, infrastructure disruptions, health concerns and fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Results may also be affected by the formal or informal
imposition by countries of new or revised export and/or import and doing-business regulations, which could be changed without prior notice. Intel
operates in highly competitive industries and its operations have high costs that are either fixed or difficult to reduce in the short term. The amount, timing
and execution of Intel's stock repurchase program could be affected by changes in Intel's priorities for the use of cash, such as operational spending,
capital spending, acquisitions, and as a result of changes to Intel's cash flows or changes in tax laws. Product defects or errata (deviations from published
specifications) may adversely impact our expenses, revenues and reputation. Intel's results could be affected by litigation or regulatory matters involving
intellectual property, stockholder, consumer, antitrust, disclosure and other issues. An unfavorable ruling could include monetary damages or an
injunction prohibiting Intel from manufacturing or selling one or more products, precluding particular business practices, impacting Intel's ability to design
its products, or requiring other remedies such as compulsory licensing of intellectual property. Intel's results may be affected by the timing of closing of
acquisitions, divestitures and other significant transactions. A detailed discussion of these and other factors that could affect Intel's results is included in
Intel's SEC filings, including the company's most recent reports on Form 10-Q, Form 10-K and earnings release.
