Based on his fascination for GPU and 3D graphics, Eugen initiated the development of a prototypical GPU-accelerated program for simulating flows as early as 2007 during his studies in aerospace at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Following his studies, he brought the software prototype into an existing spin-off company, which he had previously helped to build through his expertise in HPC and GPU. With the experience he gained, he started his own business in 2013 to develop pacefish® to market maturity as a highly efficient tool for simulating fluid flows. In 2016, he then founded Numeric Systems GmbH. Since then, Eugen Riegel and his team have been working on pacefish®, a product he has always believed in and which is characterized by his strong perseverance and enthusiasm for highly efficient software. —————————————————————————————

A true understanding of the pervasive role of software in the world demands an awareness of the volume and variety of real-world software failures and their consequences. No more thorough survey of these events may be available than Thomas Huckle and Tobias Neckel's Bits and Bugs: A Scientific and Historical Review of Software Failures in Computational Science (SIAM, 2019). Their book organizing an extensive collection of episodes into eight chapters that expand on an array of flavors of failures, increasing in intricacy from precision and rounding errors to the software–hardware interface and problems that emerge from complexity. As I see it, this book serves three audiences: Instructors of computer engineering or numerical methods will find an educational text uniquely suited to a focus on software failures; software engineers will find an equally unique reference text; and students of the practice or the history of computational science will find a fully blazed trail through these complicated stories. Dr. Huckle joined me to discuss his and his coauthor's motivations for assembling the book, a sampler of the chapter headliners, and some of his thoughts on new and evolving computational tools with their own attendant opportunities for failure. Technical readers will appreciate the mathematical excursions that rigorously introduce topics essential to understanding each chapter's headlining episodes, the exercises and MATLAB code provided at the book's website, and links to sources at Dr. Huckle's website. I found value in the recurring lesson that real-world failures arise from the coincidence of multiple, often multitudinous errors, as well as in the authors' consistent emphasis on the real human toll that the study of these errors is driven to prevent. That said, all readers may appreciate the fanciful taxonomy given in the introduction and the amusing (though sometimes apocryphal) idiosyncratic failures surveyed in the appendix. Suggested companion works: Peter G. Neumann, Illustrative Risks to the Public in the Use of Computer Systems and Related Technology Nancy G. Leveson, Safeware: System Safety and Computers Glenford J. Myers, Software Reliability: Principles and Practices Lauren Ruth Wiener, Digital Woes: Why We Should Not Depend On Software Ivars Peterson, Fatal Defect: Chasing Killer Computer Bugs  Thomas Huckle completed a degree program in mathematics and physics education and in pure mathematics, received a doctorate in 1985, and acquired his postdoctoral teaching qualification (habiliation) in 1991 at the University of Würzburg. A German research Foundation (DFG) grant enabled him to spend time performing research at Stanford University (1993–1994). In 1995 Professor Huckle joined TUM as professor of scientific computing. He has also been a member of the Mathematics Faculty since 1997. His primary research area is numerical linear algebra and its application in fields such as informatics and physics. His work focuses on solving linear problems on parallel computers, image processing and reconstruction, partial differential equations, and structured matrices. Tobias Neckel has studied applied mathematics at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and received a doctorate in Computer Science at TUM in 2009. He is currently senior researcher in scientific computing at TUM and has conducted research at the École Polytechnique, France (2003), the Tokyo Institute of Technology (2008), and the Australian National University (2017). His research interests include the numerical solution of differential equations, hierarchic and adaptive methods, uncertainty quantification, and various aspects of high-performance computing.

No more thorough survey of these events may be available than Thomas Huckle and Tobias Neckel's Bits and Bugs: A Scientific and Historical Review of Software Failures in Computational Science (SIAM, 2019). Their book organizing an extensive collection of episodes into eight chapters that expand on an array of flavors of failures, increasing in intricacy from precision and rounding errors to the software–hardware interface and problems that emerge from complexity. As I see it, this book serves three audiences: Instructors of computer engineering or numerical methods will find an educational text uniquely suited to a focus on software failures; software engineers will find an equally unique reference text; and students of the practice or the history of computational science will find a fully blazed trail through these complicated stories. Dr. Huckle joined me to discuss his and his coauthor's motivations for assembling the book, a sampler of the chapter headliners, and some of his thoughts on new and evolving computational tools with their own attendant opportunities for failure. Technical readers will appreciate the mathematical excursions that rigorously introduce topics essential to understanding each chapter's headlining episodes, the exercises and MATLAB code provided at the book's website, and links to sources at Dr. Huckle's website. I found value in the recurring lesson that real-world failures arise from the coincidence of multiple, often multitudinous errors, as well as in the authors' consistent emphasis on the real human toll that the study of these errors is driven to prevent. That said, all readers may appreciate the fanciful taxonomy given in the introduction and the amusing (though sometimes apocryphal) idiosyncratic failures surveyed in the appendix. Suggested companion works: Peter G. Neumann, Illustrative Risks to the Public in the Use of Computer Systems and Related Technology Nancy G. Leveson, Safeware: System Safety and Computers Glenford J. Myers, Software Reliability: Principles and Practices Lauren Ruth Wiener, Digital Woes: Why We Should Not Depend On Software Ivars Peterson, Fatal Defect: Chasing Killer Computer Bugs  Thomas Huckle completed a degree program in mathematics and physics education and in pure mathematics, received a doctorate in 1985, and acquired his postdoctoral teaching qualification (habiliation) in 1991 at the University of Würzburg. A German research Foundation (DFG) grant enabled him to spend time performing research at Stanford University (1993–1994). In 1995 Professor Huckle joined TUM as professor of scientific computing. He has also been a member of the Mathematics Faculty since 1997. His primary research area is numerical linear algebra and its application in fields such as informatics and physics. His work focuses on solving linear problems on parallel computers, image processing and reconstruction, partial differential equations, and structured matrices. Tobias Neckel has studied applied mathematics at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and received a doctorate in Computer Science at TUM in 2009. He is currently senior researcher in scientific computing at TUM and has conducted research at the École Polytechnique, France (2003), the Tokyo Institute of Technology (2008), and the Australian National University (2017). His research interests include the numerical solution of differential equations, hierarchic and adaptive methods, uncertainty quantification, and various aspects of high-performance computing. Cory Brunson is an Assistant Professor at the Laboratory for Systems Medicine at the University of Florida. His research focuses on geometric and topological approaches to the analysis of medical and healthcare data. Learn more about your ad choices.

It is not obvious that all Tech Entrepreneurs are charismatic figures like some of the greatest entrepreneurs. Many aspiring students at Munich TUM need some form of encouragement and confidence. Too many believe that their technological prowess is only what they need to succeed on their ventures. Richard Tedlow is Professor of Business History at the Harvard Business School. Immediately after his first “retirement” from HBS, he joined the Apple University where he stayed until 2018. He is an “emeritus” Professor of both institutions. He has published several very important History Books: the complex relation between Watson father and son at IBM , the definitive biography of Andy Grove, CEO of Intel and my personal favorite "Denial, Why Business Leaders Fail to Look Facts in the Face--and What to Do About It". He speaks on his last book: The Emergence of Charismatic Business Leadership and on this podcast, discusses some of the inspiring characteristics of leading entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs and Elon Musk.

Proximity and connectedness are basic requirements of mankind. Remarkable, in modern societies, despite high population density in metropolitan areas the number of people living alone seems to increase steadily. This is particular true for older people, however, over the total life span vulnerable phases can be identified which increase the risk of social isolation. Large scale prospective population based studies in many sites all over the industrialized world have evidenced that sustained feelings of social isolation and loneliness subsequently impact severely mental health but also somatic health of its victims.Particularly, this has been shown for cardio-vascular and metabolic diseases. Theses strong associations require medical explanations. We will give a condensed overview about the state of the art in psycho-(neuro)-physiology and will demonstrate why such adverse emotions of loneliness impact our health so deeply. Here, an impaired HPA axis and dysfunctions of the immune system play a most prominent role. We will not end without trying to draw conclusions of the actual basic research findings for supporting and treating these subjects at risk. Karl Heinz LADWIG - is Professor of Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychological Medicine at the Medical Faculty of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and is affiliated to the Department of Psycho-somatic Medicine and Psychotherapy. http://www.psychosomatik.mri.tum.de He is also Head of the Mental Health Epidemiology Unit of the Institute of Epidemiology at the Helmholtz Zentrum Muenchen, German Research Centre for Environmental Health in Munich. As clinical epidemiologist, he coordinates the mental health issues of the Institute. Major research topics of KH Ladwig comprise mental health related stress research in psycho-diabetology, psycho-cardiology (bio-behavioural concepts in cardiology) – both in risk factor epidemiology and clinical research – aging research and psycho-traumatology. His group contributes since a long time research findings by elucidating epidemiological, clinical and basic findings to better understand the impact social support, isolation and loneliness on health. Recorded in Udine 4th July - IFOTES Congress "Leaving loneliness, building relationships"

Erieta Attali was born in Tel Aviv and has a PhD in photography. She currently resides between New York and Paris, photographing the work of contemporary architects from around the world.She has been teaching in some of the world's leading universities, including Columbia University in NYC, the Technical University of Munich (TUM), The University of Tokyo amongst others and she began her career in the ‘90s as a leading expert in archaeological photography using UV and IR radiation technology. About 20 years ago she came across the work of the Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, and since then she has focused on architectural photography. She crafts images with a unique style, working with film and a Linhof camera, that means big format, with a panora-mic 6x12 cm back. One of the basic ingredients of Erieta Attali's photographs is natural light. She is prepared to wait for hours and even days for just the right light. And her choice of analogue photography takes her into a domain that we could define as slow photography. An insightful and comprehensive ap-proach that is far from the frenetic pace that dominates our overloaded consumption of images, flattened out into rapid sequences on digital media. It is not by chance that looking at Erieta's wonderful images one can feel the presence of time. In our talk she anticipates her new research on cities and the interaction with people that started actually in Paris during the lockdown and gives new perspectives on urban space. She also tells us also about her upcoming exhibition projects with new concepts as well as her upcoming aca-demic activities.

We've produced 15 episodes of Labs Talk so far – Nick and Sven enjoyed talking to well-known technical people in the community. Since this year, a few things changed with regards to the team and also when it comes to how we produce this podcast. This is why we make some changes going forward – but rest assured, we'll produce even more cool content with some greater variety. Going forward, your hosts will be Erica Davis and Sven Haiges. Nick decided to do a fellowship with the Customer Experience Enablement Team at SAP but will still be available if we need him to tame Sven. With Erica on board, we're now able to discuss and explore the Startups at SAP.io foundry Munich even better due to her long-time relationship with SAP.io. Besides Tech and Startup content, we also will have exciting research topics from our collaboration between SAP Munich and the technical university of Munich (TUM). From a production point of view, the recording and mixing is now all done by our little team. We've chosen new episode music and also streamlined the show which helps us to mix these episodes down ourselves.  We hope you are as excited as we are – please let us know in the comments at cxlabs.sap.com/labstalk.
