Are We Nearing the End of the Edge vs. Cloud Debate for Smart Robots?

by

Robots have evolved from isolated, pre-programmed units to intelligent, connected collaborators.

In this new era, one of the biggest questions that engineers, technologists, and robot operators continue to grapple with is: Are we nearing the end of the edge vs. cloud debate for smart robots?

For the longest time, robot design and deployment came down to choosing between edge processing – relying on local hardware for computational needs – and cloud processing, which taps into remote servers for greater data storage and AI capabilities.

Nvidia ‘superchips’ at the heart of ‘Europe’s fastest supercomputer’

by

Nvidia claims the Jupiter supercomputer, powered by the Nvidia Grace Hopper platform (or “superchip”), is “the fastest in Europe” – delivering a more than 2x speedup for high-performance computing and AI workloads compared with the next-fastest system.

Soon capable of running 1 quintillion FP64 operations per second, Jupiter is on track to be Europe’s first exascale supercomputer.

The system enables faster simulation, training and inference of the largest AI models – including for climate modeling, quantum research, structural biology, computational engineering and astrophysics – empowering European enterprises and nations to drive scientific discovery and innovation.

Boosting Online Security, SEO, Access Through Proxy Servers – Know their Importance

by

We presently dwell in an era where all aspects of our lives have transformed from offline to online – right from apartment searching to job hunting, to trying new ways of boosting side income. Platforms like Craigslist happen to be extremely influential and useful for consumers.

However, to the utter misfortune of the frequent users, researchers, and marketers, they often find themselves blocked from using platforms like Craigslist because of regional restrictions, IP limitations, and other policies of the platform. This is where the role of a proxy for Craigslist comes in.

But before you move on to the reasons why you might need a proxy for accessing Craigslist, you have to know what a proxy server is. [Read more…] about Boosting Online Security, SEO, Access Through Proxy Servers – Know their Importance
