+====== Timo Bingmann visiting ======
+Timo Bingmann from KIT will be visiting from October 10 to October 11 and give a talk on "//Thrill: High-Performance Algorithmic Distributed Batch Data
+Processing with C++//" in OH14 R202 on October 10 at 14:00.
+**Abstract** - We present on-going work on a new distributed Big Data processing
+framework called Thrill. It is a C++ framework consisting of a set of
+basic scalable algorithmic primitives like mapping, reducing, sorting,
+merging, joining, and additional MPI-like collectives. This set of
+primitives goes beyond traditional Map/Reduce and can be combined into
+larger more complex algorithms, such as WordCount, PageRank, k-means
+clustering, and suffix sorting. These complex algorithms can then be run
+on very large inputs using a distributed computing cluster. Among the
+main design goals of Thrill is to lose very little performance when
+composing primitives such that small data types are well supported.
+Thrill thus raises the questions of a) how to design algorithms using
+the scalable primitives, b) whether additional primitives should be
+added, and c) if one can improve the existing ones using new ideas to
+reduce communication volume and how they can be scaled to very large
+cluster sizes.
