HPE’s OpenSwitch Network OS Finds a New Home
OpenSwitch really is different from Cumulus and Microsoft SONiC.

Back in 2009, when yours truly was assigned the primary beat of covering supercomputing on remote hardware (then dubbed the mysterious “cloud”), the possibility that cloud-based high performance computing was little more than a pipe dream.
At that time, most scientific and technical computing communities had already developed extensive grids to extend their research beyond physical borders, and the idea of introducing new levels of latency, software, and management interfaces did not appear to be anything most HPC centers were looking forward to—even with the promise of cost-savings (as easy “bursting” was still some time off).
Just as Amazon Web …

A future article will examine how the Host sFlow agent can be used to efficiently stream measurements from large numbers of inexpensive Rasberry Pi devices ($5 for model Zero) to the sFlow-RT collector to monitor and control the "Internet of Things" (IoT).The following instructions show how to install sFlow-RT on Raspbian Jesse (the Debian Linux based Raspberry Pi operating system).

Computing for neuroscience, which has aided in our understanding of the structure and function of the brain, has been around for decades already. More recently, however, there has been neuroscience for computing, or the use of computational principles of the brain for generic data processing. For each of these neuroscience-driven areas there is a key limitation—scalability.
This is not just scalability in terms of software or hardware systems, but on the application side, limits in terms of efficiently deploying computational tools at sufficient size and time scales to yield far greater insight. While adding more compute to the problem …
