The U.S. military’s embrace of Silicon Valley-style agile software development now extends to quick turn-around programming required to respond to evolving cyber threats. Among the earliest attempts to break through the byzantine and wasteful Defense Department procurement maze is a U.S. Air Force effort called Unified Platform. The cloud-based, software-defined “code works” is part of ...Full article
While it is still too early to tell how severely COVID-19 will damage the world’s rich economies, some worry that the devastation will be far worse in poor ones, where healthcare and infrastructure lag. Even before the pandemic, poor countries’ traditional path to middle-class prosperity was growing rocky. Historically, people have left small farms to ...Full article
Market forecasters continue to crunch the numbers to determine precisely how the pandemic will shape IT spending during a period of unprecedented uncertainty. Moreover, the need to adapt in the face of COVID-19 is also seen as driving cloud- and AI-based “innovation accelerators” over the next several years. Continuing regional spikes in coronavirus infections make ...Full article
Graphics-intensive design and manufacturing workloads continue to migrate steadily to the cloud, making it easier for engineers, designers and architects to share and improve product development and manufacturing. Among the earliest examples were graphics-heavy applications based on Linux and Windows that made the jump to the public cloud several years back. Leading that shift was ...Full article
Researchers from George Washington University have reported an approach for building photonic tensor cores that leverages phase change photonic memory to implement a neural network (NN). Their novel architecture, reported online in AIP Applied Physics Review last week, promises both performance gains and power advantages over traditional GPUs and other tensor core devices. While several ...Full article
Huawei Technologies, the 5G leader, is pushing back on concerted efforts to forge an alternative radio access network for the next generation of wireless technologies. Western technology companies with a huge stake in the 5G rollout have coalesced around a so-called “Huawei alternative” called OpenRAN. The goal is to deploy software-defined 5G components like transceivers ...Full article

Asia remains the locus for 5G development and deployment, with wireless carriers deploying based stations by the hundreds of thousands and the number of 5G networks deployed around the world approaching 100, according to wireless industry estimates. Connecting devices to those high-bandwidth, low-latency networks is the focus of a partnership between Intel Corp. (NASDAQ: INTC) ...Full article
Artificial intelligence and 5G wireless are moving in tandem toward autonomous, self-healing networks able to maximize operational efficiency and reliability while leveraging new troves of network data to forecast bandwidth and power demands—all with “killer” low latency. That’s the bullish forecast of AI backers and a leading wireless developer who say the disruptive technologies are ...Full article
Training AI models can be incredibly computationally intensive. Researchers often use supercomputers to ready the models, and the impact can be severe: the training process for a single model can be intensive enough to produce the carbon emissions produced by five cars over their entire vehicle lifespans. Apart from the upfront costs and impacts, this ...Full article
Syntiant Corp., the “neural decision processor” startup, announced completion of another funding round this week along with the shipment of more than 1 million low-power edge AI chips. The three-year-old startup based in Irvine, Calif., said Tuesday (Aug. 4) its Series C funding round generated $35 million, raising its venture capital total to just over ...Full article
The telecommunications sector is embracing enterprise technologies such as server virtualization via an emerging deployment model dubbed universal CPE, for customer premises equipment. CPE generally includes on-premise equipment such as routers, network switches and base stations as well as software-defined wide-area networks and Ethernet access devices. For network vendors, universal CPE and related virtual networking ...Full article
Among the growing list of pandemic-driven technology segments are programable Ethernet adapters being deployed by cloud service providers as they scramble to meet bandwidth demand generated by homes offices. The server and Ethernet adapter boom also have accelerated deployments of programmable network interface cards (NICs), with Nvidia’s former Mellanox unit alone posting a 96 percent ...Full article
Red Hat continues to expand its OpenShift container applications platform with virtualization capabilities aimed at virtual machine-based workloads while integrating VM tools into its enterprise Linux distribution to handle emerging cloud-native applications. Cloud-native security tools for OpenShift were also added this week to the Red Hat’s marketplace. The IBM unit (NYSE: IBM) this week released ...Full article
AWS re:Invent has been re-imagined as a free, three-week virtual conference taking place in early December, Amazon Web Services announced last week, as the fall lineup of physical tech conferences continues to dwindle as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and online offerings continue to grow. When the novel coronavirus reared its ugly head earlier ...Full article
Intel Corp. and Analog Devices Inc. are collaborating on a 5G wireless network design based on an emerging open standard with the goal of developing flexible radio platforms that would help carriers scale 5G network deployments. The wireless partnership announced Monday (Aug. 3) would combine ADI’s RF transceivers with Intel’s Arria 10 FPGAs, giving network ...Full article
GPU leader Nvidia Corp. is in talks to buy U.K. chip designer Arm from parent company Softbank, according to several reports over the weekend. If consummated, analysts said the acquisition would cement Nvidia’s status as a full-service chip vendor controlling its destiny while challenging chip rival Intel Corp. (NASDAQ: INTC). The Financial Times reported the ...Full article
Weather forecasting is a tricky, unforgiving business, and for weather-dependent clients in precise locations, like airlines and sports teams, accuracy is king. Making accurate predictions for a highly specific area, however, is not within the scope of many major weather models, which operate with resolutions measured in kilometers. Weather technology company ClimaCell provides micro-forecasting for ...Full article
As expected, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) applications are already having an impact on society. Many industries that we tap into daily—such as banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), and digitized health care—can benefit from AI and ML applications to help them optimize mission-critical operations and execute functions in real time. The BFSI ...Full article
A machine programming framework for heterogeneous computing championed by Intel Corp. and university partners is built around an automated engine that analyzes code for similarities. The approach could eventually allow non-programmers to create software based on intent.
