Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: . NVIDIA is not necessarily known for powering low power AI applications. Most of its artificial intelligence (AI) focus has been on powering high power cloud or data center applications, where its Tesla graphics processing unit (GPU) processors have largely led the market. However, over the last 12 months, NVIDIA has accelerated its reach beyond the data center and is now building its portfolio to service low power AI edge applications. When it comes to AI at the edge, NVIDIA has been focusing on the automotive sector with its Xavier platform and on robotics and ... Read More

Feed: Blog – ArangoDB. Author: Willi Goesgens. This is an update of the 2016 blog post How to put ArangoDB to Spartan-Mode. A lot of things have changed in the last years. We moved our API implementation from JavaScript to C++. ArangoDB now has a new (default) storage engine, namely RocksDB instead of MMFiles. RocksDB is a great storage engine. However, it also trades memory for speed. If you start with the default configuration you might end up with using much more memory for ArangoDB than expected. Therefore let’s focus on our new storage engine, and make a configuration to ... Read More

Feed: All - O'Reilly Media. Author: Tim O'Reilly. Gradual steps (source: Pixabay) This post was originally published on Quartz. The pursuit of monopoly has led Silicon Valley astray. Look no further than the race between Lyft and Uber to dominate the online ride-hailing market. Both companies are gearing up for their IPOs in the next few months. Street talk has Lyft shooting for a valuation between $15 and $30 billion dollars, and Uber valued at an astonishing $120 billion dollars. Neither company is profitable; their enormous valuations are based on the premise that if a company grows big enough and ... Read More

Feed: Databasejournal.com - Feature Database Articles. Author: . Your production database environment stores personally identifiable information in an encrypted form, limits access to these fields and masks them when displayed. However, some types of data encryption create potential performance problems as well as security issues. Your data may be at risk unless you mask it effectively. The State of Database Security The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) became effective worldwide in May 2018. It applies to any company that obtains data from any customer in the European Union and provides for extremely harsh penalties for companies that breach ... Read More
