The setup The RStudio notebook is a great interactive tool to build a statistical report. Being able to see statistics and graphs right on the fly probably has saved me countless hours, especially when building complex reports. However, one thing that has always bothered me was the way tables are displayed in ... Read More

Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: Mark Callaghan; I am wary of papers with performance results for too many products.Too many means including results from systems for which you lack expertise. Wary means I have less faith in the comparison even when the ideas in the paper are awesome. I have expertise in MySQL, MongoDB, RocksDB, WiredTiger and InnoDB but even for them I have made and acknowledged ridiculous mistakes.Database configuration is too hard. There are too many options, most of them aren't significant and the approach is bottom-up. I an expert on this -- in addition to years of tuning I ... Read More

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: sherrilhanson. Data center infrastructure, specifically computing, memory, storage, and networking, is in the process of going through a reboot to support the growing artificial intelligence (AI) market, according to a new report from Tractica. Though AI represents just a small portion of a cloud data center’s workload and an even smaller portion of an enterprise’s workload, it drives a different type of application profile and thus requires different architectures and components.Advances in technology have played a major part in enabling AI expansion and market penetration. In turn, AI applications are driving the development of new ... Read More

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: Glenn Sanders. Most robots and collaborative robots (cobots) have a fixed configuration and structure. This works well for the applications for which they were designed. But what if the owner wants to use the robot for a new application? It would be useful if the joints and shape of the robot could be reconfigured when needed. Modular robots provide the solution and the flexibility to meet the needs of smart factories, as well as client expectations of shorter turnaround and customization. This is the idea behind modular robots. Let’s look at a few examples. Modbot ... Read More

Feed: Microsoft Azure Blog. Author: Bert Van Hoof. One of the most dynamic landscapes embracing Internet of Things (IoT) is the modern city. As urbanization grows, city leaders are under increasing pressure to make cities safer, accessible, sustainable, and prosperous. Underlying all these important goals is the bedrock that makes a city run: infrastructure. Whether it be water, electricity, streets, traffic lights, cities are increasingly using the Internet of Things (IoT) to manage their infrastructure by capturing and analyzing data from connected devices and sensors. This gives city managers real-time insights to improve operational efficiency and outcomes and to altogether ... Read More

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: Clint Wheelock. The healthcare industry has undergone a significant evolution over the past several years, moving from an antiquated, paper-based records system to a more efficient and integrated system that often incorporates physical, payer, and patient-generated health data. This explosion of data means there is a strong need for systems that not only will help extract and organize this information, but will also analyze and even provide insights and recommendations on how best to utilize the data. According to a new report from Tractica, artificial intelligence (AI) is being increasingly used to improve the depth ... Read More

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: Clint Wheelock. The artificial intelligence (AI) market is entering a dynamic phase of growth where adoption in the enterprise sector continues unabated, but there are questions emerging within research and academic circles about whether the technologies fueling the AI revolution, particularly deep learning, might be hitting a bottleneck. The recent controversy surrounding Facebook and data privacy, AI safety and explainability with Uber’s self-driving car fatality, or questions about authenticity and the power of generative algorithms to create fake images and video, are all issues that highlight the challenges facing AI in 2018.Despite these challenges, according ...
