During the Tech Field Day Extra event at Cisco Live Europe 2017 Fabrizio Maccioni, Technical Marketing Engineer at Cisco, described enhanced programmability available in Cisco IOS XE release 16.x. What really got my attention was the claim that they made NETCONF on Cisco IOS transactional (and Fabrizio mentioned the candidate config and commit).
Here's my initial reaction:
Read more ...As a thought exercise, let’s consider neural networks as massive graphs and begin considering the CPU as a passive slave to some higher order processor—one that can sling itself across multiple points on an ever-expanding network of connections feeding into itself, training, inferencing, and splitting off into multiple models on the same architecture.
Plenty of technical naysay can happen in this concept, of course, and only a slice of it has to do with algorithmic complexity. For one, memory bandwidth is pushed to limit even on specialized devices like GPUs and FPGAs—at least for a neural net problem. And second, …

When Armenia declared independence in 1991, the Internet access finally became available, allowing people to be part of the world again. The creation of an Internet Availability Center in 2012 (funded by Internet Society’s grant) at the Culture House for the Blind in Yerevan, triggered creative ideas among active members of the center.
They came to conclusion that an Internet radio station would be the greatest opportunity for helping the blind and visually impaired. The project started in January 2016 supported by the Internet Society’s “Beyond the Net Funding Programme”. Today, it is a dream come true.
If you want real competition among vendors who supply stuff to you, then sometimes you have to make it happen by yourself. The hyperscalers and big cloud builders of the world can do that, and increasingly they are taking the initiative and fostering such competition for compute.
With its first generation of Open Cloud Servers, which were conceptualized in 2012, put into production for its Azure public cloud in early 2013, and open sourced through the Open Compute Project in January 2014, Microsoft decided to leverage the power of the open source hardware community to make its own server …
ARM And AMD X86 Server Chips Get Mainstream Lift From Microsoft was written by Timothy Prickett Morgan at The Next Platform.
In their default configuration, the UNetLab and EVE-NG network emulators support Linux nodes running bootable CDROM or DVDROM images that offer a graphical user interface accessible via VNC.
We may add new Linux node types to both UNetLab and EVE-NG by building Linux VM images and creating custom templates. To support Linux networking emulation scenarios, we will build a linux router image that boots from a virtual hard disk, can be accessed via Telnet to simplify configuration and management, and that has a persistent file system onto which we can install software and modify configuration files.
In this post, we will show how to build a Linux router image and create a custom Linux router template that can be used in UNetLab or EVE-NG.
Add a custom Linux server image to UNetLab or EVE-NG by following the procedure below:
There is nothing worse than showing up to a party uninvited.
The awkward conversations, the constant justification of why you’re there, and often facing up to the downright hostility of the hosts. It’s enough to make any of us want to quietly make our way towards the closest exit sign we find and never look back.
And that’s exactly what’s happening to many women around the world for simply taking the time to log on.
For those of us that work with the online world, there isn’t any doubt. Online harassment and cyber bullying are real. In theory, these things can happen to anyone— but they don’t.
They happen overwhelmingly to women.
