Feed: AWS Compute Blog. Author: Roshni Pary. Contributed by Amr Ragab, HPC Application Consultant, AWS Professional ServicesAWS currently supports many managed des­ktop delivery mechanisms. Amazon WorkSpaces and Amazon AppStream 2.0 both deliver managed Windows-based machine images with GPU-backed instances. However, many desktop services and applications are better served through a Linux backed instance. Given the variety of Linux distributions as well as desktop managers, it can be valuable to have a generic solution for provisioning a Linux desktop on Amazon EC2. A GPU-backed instance reduces the computational requirements from the client (local) machine, eliminating the need for a local discrete ... Read More

Previously, we looked at how Artificial Intelligence (AI) has changed the supplier side of the retail eco-system, especially on two fronts – Price and Product Offering. In this post, we shall analyze how it has affected the buyer’s journey at almost every step of the way. As most of you will know, a buyer’s journey starts from the awareness stage, where he comes to learn of a product or a brand, and then goes on to the following stages: research, consideration, purchase and retention; the latter is where a ...

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Pedro URIA RECIO. C-3PO and R2-D2 are an odd couple in the Star Wars universe. C-3PO is a cowardly droid who obeys pre-defined protocols and routine tasks, while R2-D2 is a curious and adventurous robot who learns from previous problems, uses logical thinking and larger concepts to solve new problems. But together they do things they could not do alone. Similarly, RPA (Robotic Process Automation) and Advanced Analytics are an odd but very complementary combination of new business technologies. Like the diligent but unimaginative C-3PO, RPA follows precise rules to execute ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Don Philip Faithful. In my most recent blog, I discussed the idea of aligning the supply of services to market demand.  My conceptualization of “alignment” specifically relates to time intervals: i.e. having people at the right place and at the right time - for example, to take advantage of opportunities - is a sign of alignment.  Alignment for me is often about the relationship between capacity and incapacity:  the ability to supply services versus the inability to satisfy the market demand for those services.  In this blog I will be considering ...

These modifications will need to be incorporated back into .XML once the upgrade has occurred. The previous configuration file will be saved as /usr/local/mariadb/columnstore/etc/Columnstore.xml.rpmsave. If you have specified a root database password (which is good practice), then you must configure a .my.cnf file with user credentials for the upgrade process to use. Create a .my.cnf file in the ...
