For product developers looking to experiment with an idea and then reinforce and deploy it, a single framework that supports both ends of the process is helpful. Apache MXNet, an open-source deep learning framework first published in 2015, aims to achieve exactly that. I recently ... Read More

Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: Severalnines; Replication in MySQL has been around for a long time, and has been steadily improving over the years. It has been more like evolution rather than revolution. This is perfectly understandable, as replication is an important feature that many depend on - it has to work. In the last MySQL versions, we’ve seen improvements in replication performance through support for applying transactions in parallel. In MySQL 5.6, parallelization was done on schema level - all transactions which have been executed in separate schemas could be executed at once. This was a nice improvement for those ... Read More
