Open source — the great equalizer.

Technology is a great equalizer and the open source movement has played a huge role in making this true and accelerating the process. Open source levels the playing field for many. Gone are the days where you had to get a job or invest to learn a technology. Open source and Linux opened up access and opportunities to learn and innovate.

We live in an era where hardware and software architectures are powered by open source technologies. Modern system architectures (distributed, cloud native and others) are built with open source technologies and many others continue to move to open technologies (open networking, open Firmware, Linux BIOS just to name a few). Open source has been the driving force in commoditizing hardware in many markets. Open communities like OCP are taking this to the next level.

Open source platforms like github and gitlab have promoted open source development and made it easier to build open source communities and ecosystems. Existing open source communities fuel new open communities. Success stories from disaggregated and open server operating systems fueled the open networking revolution leading to the birth of open network operating systems. Investing in open source and having open source development centers are Continue reading

What Does a Post-COVID World Look Like in Small Island Developing States?

This blog post was first published by DiploFoundation.

“We need to ensure we digitalize all of our business processes as to enable the effective digital transformation of our governments, businesses, and educational institutions so that the disruptive solutions brought by the global pandemic, including remote work, digital health, e-learning, and fintech, are collectively recognized as a pivot point in our history.”

There… I’ve done it… I’ve met the challenge of how many currently fashionable buzzwords and jargon I can stuff into a single sentence.

Everything we’ve been reading about dealing with the issues the global economy will face in the post-COVID-19 world tends to sound something like what I’ve written above. I can’t promise you that I will not touch upon these topics and mention these buzzwords again, but I do hope I can bring a certain degree of pragmatism to the conversation, especially given that I hail from Trinidad and Tobago, a twin-island country in the Caribbean, categorized as a small island developing state (SIDS) along with approximately 50 odd others scattered across our various oceans.

SIDS economies are generally characterized by their dependence on earning revenue from the exportation of either raw materials or partially-finished goods extracted Continue reading

Ambient ‘T-rays’ could help power IoT devices

Most things with a measurable temperature – human beings going about their daily routines, inert objects – generate terahertz waves, radiation that is sandwiched between infrared and microwave on the electromagnetic spectrum.So far, these waves haven’t proved very useful, but now scientists at MIT are trying to harness them with devices that use them to generate electricity that could charge the batteries of cellphones, laptops, even medical implants.[Get regularly scheduled insights by signing up for Network World newsletters.] If successful, the charging devices would passively gather the waves and generate DC current at room temperature, something that hasn’t been accomplished before. Previous devices that can turn terahertz waves – T-rays – to electricity only work in ultracold environments, according to an MIT News article about the project.To read this article in full, please click here

Taking A Deep Dive Into “Cooper Lake” Xeon SP Processors

Even before the coronavirus pandemic hit, Intel, the dominant maker of processors for servers on the planet, was rejiggering its product roadmaps behind the scenes in conjunction with its largest OEM partners as well the hyperscalers and large public cloud builders that drive about a third of its revenues these days.

Taking A Deep Dive Into “Cooper Lake” Xeon SP Processors was written by Timothy Prickett Morgan at The Next Platform.
