Happy Valentine's Day, Internet!
There’s a special place in our heart for all the open source projects that support the Internet and improve the lives of everyone in the developer community, and today seems like an appropriate time to express the gratitude we have for the non-profit / volunteer-run projects that hold everything together.
Cloudflare uses a lot of open source software and also contributes to open source. Informally, Cloudflare has already been upgrading the plans of certain eligible open source projects that have reached out to us or that we have interfaced with. Here are some of the projects whose landing pages are already protected by Cloudflare.

To really pay the goodwill forward, we want to make this opportunity common knowledge in the developer community. In 2018, we intend to provide free Cloudflare Pro Plan upgrades to eligible open source projects (subject to a case-by-case evaluation) that:
Are you an open source project using @Cloudflare? We want to give you a free Pro Plan to thank you for your work Continue reading
When it comes to machine learning training, people tend to focus on the compute. We always want to know if the training is being done on specialized parallel X86 devices, like Intel’s Xeon Phi, or on massively parallel GPU devices, like Nvidia’s “Pascal” and “Volta” accelerators, or even on custom devices from the likes of Nervana Systems (now part of Intel), Wave Systems, Graphcore, Google, or Fujitsu.
But as is the case with other kinds of high performance computing, the network matters when it comes to machine learning, and it can be the differentiating …
Programmable Networks Train Neural Nets Faster was written by Timothy Prickett Morgan at The Next Platform.
Vendor lock in with serverless might be more pressing than with containers.
The company’s automation management platform is based on the Salt open source project.
The software-defined storage platform is built on hyperconverged infrastructure.
Blockchain, alone, should drive attendance at this event.
On today’s podcast episode of “The Interview” with The Next Platform, we talk about exascale power and resiliency by way of a historical overview of architectures with long-time HPC researcher, Dr. Robert Fowler.
Fowler’s career in HPC began at his alma mater, Harvard in the early seventies with scientific codes and expanded across the decades to include roles at several universities, including the University of Washington, the University of Rochester, Rice University, and most recently, RENCI at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he spearheads high performance computing initiatives and projects, including one we will …
Looking Back: The Evolution of HPC Power, Efficiency and Reliability was written by Nicole Hemsoth at The Next Platform.
The field of competitors looking to bring exascale-capable computers to the market is a somewhat crowded one, but the United States and China continue to be the ones that most eyes are on.
It’s a clash of an established global superpower and another one on the rise, and one that that envelopes a struggle for economic, commercial and military advantages and a healthy dose of national pride. And because of these two countries, the future of exascale computing – which to a large extent to this point has been more about discussion, theory and promise – will come into sharper …
A Look at What’s in Store for China’s Tianhe-2A Supercomputer was written by Jeffrey Burt at The Next Platform.
A new white paper by ACG Research focuses on the data center (DC) switching infrastructure aspect of that ecosystem, showing that Lenovo’s switching combined with server solutions provide for the full spectrum for a data center strategy for enterprises and cloud providers.
In case you missed it, DockerCon 2018 will take place at Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA on June 13-15, 2018. DockerCon is where the Docker community comes to learn, belong, and collaborate. Attendees are a mix of beginner, intermediate and advanced users who are all looking to level up their skills and go home inspired. With a 2 full days of training, more than 100 sessions, free workshops and hands-on labs, and the wealth of experience brought by each attendee, DockerCon is the place to be if you’re looking to learn Docker in 2018.
Want to go but need information to convince your manager? Here is a document to help you build a case for it including content, budget and reasons why you should attend.
From beginner to experts, DockerCon brings together the brightest minds to talk about all things containers including Docker Platform, Kubernetes, Digital Transformation in the Enterprise, Moby and CNCF projects, Container Security, Service Mesh and more. Although the full schedule won’t be announced until the end of the month, below is a sneak peak of some of the sessions we have lined Continue reading
