Nvidia Readies For Battle In The Datacenter In 2020

If you were expecting Nvidia to start talking about its future “Einstein” GPUs for Tesla accelerated computing soon just because AMD is getting ready to roll out “Navi” GPUs next year and Intel is working on its X^e GPU cards for delivery next year, too, you are going to have to wait a bit longer. …

Inside Industrial IoT: The promises and the challenges

Way before IoT became a buzzword, industrial verticals had connected systems – now, networking industrial devices to enterprise IT is unlocking great potential, and big challenges.

Get ready for the convergence of IT and OT networking and security

Most IT networking professionals are so busy with their day-to-day responsibilities that they don’t have time to consider taking on more work. But for companies with an industrial component, there’s an elephant in the room that is clamoring for attention. I’m talking about the increasingly common convergence of IT and operational technology (OT) networking and security.Traditionally, IT and OT have had very separate roles in an organization. IT is typically tasked with moving data between computers and humans, whereas OT is tasked with moving data between “things,” such as sensors, actuators, smart machines, and other devices to enhance manufacturing and industrial processes. Not only were the roles for IT and OT completely separate, but their technologies and networks were, too.To read this article in full, please click here

Powering edge data centers: Blue energy might be the perfect solution

About a cubic yard of freshwater mixed with seawater provides almost two-thirds of a kilowatt-hour of energy. And scientists say a revolutionary new battery chemistry based on that theme could power edge data centers.The idea is to harness power from wastewater treatment plants located along coasts, which happen to be ideal locations for edge data centers and are heavy electricity users.“Places where salty ocean water and freshwater mingle could provide a massive source of renewable power,” writes Rob Jordan in a Stanford University article.To read this article in full, please click here

Nvidia rises to the need for natural language processing

Nvidia is boasting of a breakthrough in conversation natural language processing (NLP) training and inference, enabling more complex interchanges between customers and chatbots with immediate responses.The need for such technology is expected to grow, as digital voice assistants alone are expected to climb from 2.5 billion to 8 billion within the next four years, according to Juniper Research, while Gartner predicts that by 2021, 15% of all customer service interactions will be completely handled by AI, an increase of 400% from 2017.The company said its DGX-2 AI platform trained the BERT-Large AI language model in less than an hour and performed AI inference in 2+ milliseconds, making it possible “for developers to use state-of-the-art language understanding for large-scale applications.”To read this article in full, please click here

Keeping track of Linux users: When do they log in and for how long?

The Linux command line provides some excellent tools for determining how frequently users log in and how much time they spend on a system. Pulling information from the /var/log/wtmp file that maintains details on user logins can be time-consuming, but with a couple easy commands, you can extract a lot of useful information on user logins.One of the commands that helps with this is the last command. It provides a list of user logins that can go quite far back. The output looks like this:$ last | head -5 | tr -s " " shs pts/0 192.168.0.14 Wed Aug 14 09:44 still logged in shs pts/0 192.168.0.14 Wed Aug 14 09:41 - 09:41 (00:00) shs pts/0 192.168.0.14 Wed Aug 14 09:40 - 09:41 (00:00) nemo pts/1 192.168.0.18 Wed Aug 14 09:38 still logged in shs pts/0 192.168.0.14 Tue Aug 13 06:15 - 18:18 (00:24) Note that the tr -s " " portion of the command above reduces strings of blanks to single blanks, and in this case, it keeps the output shown from being so wide that it would be wrapped around on Continue reading

Learn About Modern Apps with Docker at VMworld 2019

The Docker team will be on the show floor at VMworld the week of August 25. We’ll be talking about the state of modern application development, how to accelerate innovation efforts, and the role containerization and Docker play in powering these initiatives. 

Come by booth #1969 at VMworld to check out the latest developments in the Docker platform and learn why over 1.8 million developers build modern applications on Docker, and why over 800 enterprises rely on Docker Enterprise for production workloads. 
At VMworld, we’ll be talking about:

What’s New in Docker Enterprise 3.0

Docker Enterprise 3.0 shipped recently, making it the first and only desktop-to-cloud container platform in the market that lets you build and share any application and securely run them anywhere – from hybrid cloud to the edge. At VMworld, we’ll have demos that shows how Docker Enterprise 3.0 simplifies Kubernetes with the Docker Kubernetes Service (DKS) and enables companies to more easily build modern applications with Docker Desktop Enterprise and Docker Application.

Accelerating Your Journey to the Cloud

Everyone is talking about moving workloads to the cloud to drive efficiencies and simplify ops, but many existing applications that power Continue reading
