Organizer’s description

Abstract: "Bend is a proof language whose programs run as fast as C on one core, and in parallel on GPUs. Its checker verifies proofs in seconds, so you can write large programs that are proven correct and still fast. I'll show how it works, and how its core relates to Lean."
