Database systems researchers at TU Berlin and DFKI (German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence) were highly successful this year. Four of their papers were accepted at the 2020 ACM SIGMOD/PODS International Conference on the Management of Data. And, in particular, one of the paper’s received the 2020 ACM SIGMOD Best Paper Award. The paper entitled “Pump Up the Volume: Processing Large Data on GPUs with Fast Interconnects,” by Clemens Lutz, Sebastian Breß, Steffen Zeuch, Tilmann Rabl (now at HPI), and Volker Markl explores the use of GPUs to accelerate database query processing.
Article by Prof. Volker Markl published in the Informatik Spektrum (2019)
... Zur Erlangung von Datensouveränität benötigen Deutschland bzw. Europa eine nachhaltig (und öffentlich) betriebene Daten- und Analyseinfrastruktur. ... (Markl, V. Informatik Spektrum (2019)).
“We must democratize AI technologies.”
Professor Volker Markl proposes an independent, trustworthy, nationwide, data and analysis infrastructure.
Germany aims to become a world leader in AI – German politicians stated during the announcement of the German AI Strategy late last year. However, Dr. Volker Markl, Professor of Database Systems and Information Management at TU Berlin, Chief Scientist at the DFKI in Berlin, and co-author of the strategy believes both German companies and policymakers have a lot of catching up to do. Volker Markl is an experienced political adviser, successful mentor, co-founder of various IT start-ups, and an internationally renowned scientist – so he is clearly in a position to state what he thinks is missing in Germany.
