...y are doing, and get feedback on it. It works fabulously well for some of the top CS conferences, like Supercomputing (now SC) and SIGGRAPH. If done carefully, they can generate significant revenue instead of becoming a drain. In fact, the SC industry booths have been a major money maker for ACM SIGARCH in the past. Booths also get attendees lots of goodies -- and who would ever say no to free t-shirt or mouse pad? 5. Have a few sessions devoted to research, for students to present the work they doing with LLVM. A 2-day format again makes this easier. 6. Invite a few people from the technical...

Thanks @Robin and @Graham for giving some background on scalable vectors and clarifying some of the details! Apologies if I'm repeating things here, but it is probably good to emphasize the conceptually different, but complementary models for scalable vectors: 1. Vectors of unknown, but constant size throughout the program. 2. Vectors of changing size throughout the program. Where (2)
