While deep learning models might not be able to simulate large-scale physical phenomena in the same way purpose-built supercomputers and their application stacks do, there is more research emerging that shows how traditional HPC simulations can be augmented, if not replaced in some parts, by neural networks. …

The Docker Certified Technology Program is designed for ecosystem partners and customers to recognize containers and plugins that excel in quality, collaborative support and compliance. Docker Certification gives organizations an easy way to run trusted software and components in containers on the Docker Enterprise container platform with support from both Docker and the publisher.
In this review, we’re looking at Docker Volume Plugins. In any production Docker Enterprise deployment, it is important to have the ability to manage storage for persistent applications. While it is possible to use traditional SAN and NAS solutions directly with Docker Enterprise with Swarm orchestration, it is actually much easier and more convenient to manage volumes through the Docker CLI and management interfaces by specifying a Docker-native volume driver so users can manage volumes on demand.
Check out the latest certified Docker Volume Plugins that are now available from our partners on Docker Store:
Along with Docker Volume plugins, we also have partners with container-based storage solutions in Docker Store:

This has been the Ansible messaging since the journey began. As time has gone on, the definition of simple we’re talking about may have been misunderstood...
The Ansible simplicity is about being easy to understand, learn and share. It’s about people. The often peddled notion that “Ansible doesn’t scale past 500 hosts” is shadowed by the customers we have with over 100,000 nodes under management. But the idea that scale is purely about the number of hosts isn’t recognising the greater relevance. Scale is so much more, scale is about the context in your business.
What is scale?
When it comes to IT, conclusions about ‘scale’ usually equate to numbers of something technical. A frequent customer ask might go something like "We need Ansible to scale to 70,000 hosts".
Once we look into that number though, the reality is no technical operation will happen across them all at once. The jeopardy to a business of this size is too great to chance a failure of every system. Operations at large scale happen piecemeal for safety reasons – rolling updates are not only a safer way to operate, we see the results faster.

A Need for More Gender-Disaggregated Data
While Internet access and use is rapidly growing all over the world, women still face several challenges that hinder them from benefiting meaningfully from it. The proportion of women able to access and use the Internet is 12% lower than the proportion of men accessing and using it worldwide. This gap is even bigger in developing countries where only one out of seven women use the Internet.
These numbers highlight some of the discrepancies that the digital gender gap is both producing and reproducing. However, understanding them and to what extent they affect women’s online lives requires more data. While many studies have been conducted in the last few years in order to gather evidence about the existing barriers, there are still many aspects of the phenomenon that need to be studied in-depth, particularly at grassroots levels.
Various recent efforts – including those of the W20, the UN Broadband Commission on Sustainable Development, the Alliance for Affordable Internet (A4AI), the World Wide Web Foundation, the GSMA and Association for Progressive Communications – have expressed concerns about the paucity of gender-disaggregated data and insights on Internet access and use masks the true extent of Continue reading
“We had inflated expectations” because the promise was vendors could easily obtain commodity hardware and “throw some VNFs on it and it would make money," said a Masergy executive.
