Decision Markets Predict Replicability of Online Experiments

A new study published in Nature Human Behaviour suggests that a tool similar to a stock market could help scientists identify research findings that are likely to hold up to scrutiny. The study, conducted by a group of social scientists from around the world, tested the ability of a “decision market” to predict which results from previously published social science experiments would be successfully replicated.

Powering the Future: Tackling Energy Challenges in Supercomputing and AI

Talk by Prof. Dr. Dieter Kranzlmüller, LMU Munich: Recent performance gains in supercomputing are being outpaced by soaring power consumption, AI infrastructures face similar challenges. In response, data centers are expanding their power and cooling capacities, adding further to their global environmental footprint. The need for improved energy efficiency in computing has never been more urgent. Have we already reached a critical tipping point, or can innovation drive a more sustainable future? This talk explores the latest advances and examines strategies for balancing the growing energy demands of advanced computing with environmental responsibility.
