Brazilian Computer Society

The Brazilian Computer Society (Portuguese: Sociedade Brasileira de Computação, SBC) was established in 1978, as a scientific and educational organization dedicated to the advancement of Computer Science in Brazil and the associated technologies and applications. SBC is a leading forum for researchers, students and computing professionals working in the various fields of Computer Science and Information Technology, being the largest computer society in South America.

It is structurally organized as a Board of Directors, seven regional chapters and a network of 170 institutional representation offices in universities and research institutions throughout Brazil. Research activities are fostered by twenty seven Special Interest Groups.

Newton Faller Award

The Newton Faller Award is awarded by the SBC to honor members who have distinguished themselves throughout their lives for services to the SBC.[1] The award is exclusive to current members and founders and is delivered during the opening ceremony of the SBC Congress. It is named in memory of Newton Faller (1947–1996), a Brazilian computer scientist and electrical engineer.

gollark: Are there good autotranscription things available now?
gollark: I found Matrix homeservers to be horribly resource-intensive or broken. Did they fix that at all?
gollark: How do they manage to have the same FP64 and FP32 throughput? I thought there was some quadratic scaling going on there.
gollark: As far as I know ROCm is available on basically no GPUs and is very finicky to get working.
gollark: It seems like AMD could have done a much better job than they did, though.
