      Introduction

      MPI/Ramesh: 4 alveo cards ordered, but need to be repaired and sent back to manufactures (if clock rate is too high, the card locks and stops working); simulation/network training is ongoing 

      Chrisitan Kahra: versal AI engines programming, first steps; baseline is still Ultrascale+; but if versal AI works fine, could be used; could be implemented in next fFEX prototype version

      Dennis Layh: there is a new bachelor student in Mainz group- learns machine learning for ATLAS FCal; object detection on calorimeter data (work on smaller regions)

      Johann: cleaning up of CNN firmware code; working on hardware tests with injector module; next time presentation on CNN training by Dresden group (Anne)

       

      General Meeting PUNCH on October 12+13 in Munich

      TA5 meeting is planned

      Discussions with other TAs, e.g. machine learning/storage

       

      Next meeting: September 18 at 9h30 

      Presentations/updates by all groups as input to General Meeting
