Presentation

Research Software Engineering in the Age of AI
DescriptionAI has drastically altered the area of software engineering. In this session, we will discuss its impact in the context of HPC and research software engineering: development and maintenance of the software used in scientific computing and research. Potential uses of AI include developing new code, developing tests, testing and debugging code, reducing technical debt, porting code, optimizing code, updating software when dependencies are updated, generating code documentation, and building workflows of existing components. Panelists who are both researchers and software developers/maintainers will discuss their experiences in AI and research software, and how they expect things to change in the short term and the long term.
