Africa Information Highway Live Exchange #Session 7
8 October 2021
The AIH Live Exchange between the Africa Information Highway Team, partners and countries is a free monthly webinar hosted by the African Development Bank to discuss topics related to government data and statistics. This webinar series is the main platform for countries to share their experiences and best practices around open data including using their Open Data Platform of the AIH.
This session is co-organized with the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) which is a mission-driven Research and Technology Organization (RTO) that develops advanced technologies and delivers innovative products and services to industry and society. These innovations can also be used to solve several societal challenges, particularly in the areas of the environment, security, education and culture, sustainable development, as well as the efficient use of resources.
Official statistical data are recognized as high-value datasets for the society and economy, to enrich research, inform decision making or develop new products and services. The use of these authoritative data sources contributes to building a society with more empowered people, better policies, more effective and accountable decision-making, greater participation and stronger democratic mechanisms.
Official statistics are produced to be used and re-used to make an impact on society through a higher degree of openness and transparency while ensuring confidentiality and, at the same time, providing equal access to information to citizens.
The value of data lies in its use and re-use. In this interactive webinar, you will learn new techniques to improve the use and re-use of your statistical data, going beyond the provision logic and adopting the ecosystem mindset. You will:
● Sharpen your capacity at identifying and engaging users and re-users and stakeholders (data ecosystem mapping)?
● Effectively tackle technical and organizational barriers to stimulate data use and re-use?
● Smartly orchestrate a self-sustainable data ecosystem to increase the impact of statistical data.
This session is an opportunity for Regional members countries to '' Sharpen their skills in making data used and re-used by developing an ecosystem mindset to effectively build sustainable community of users around their Open Data Platform thus promoting transparency and better decision-making”

Greater Cambridge Greater Peterborough Economic Assessment Data Atlas IntroCambridgeshireInsight
The Greater Cambridge Greater Peterborough Economic Assessment provides a wealth of economic evidence for the Greater Cambridge Greater Peterborough Local Enterprise Partnership (GCGP LEP) area and its constituent districts.
The GCGP Economic Assessment is divided into three sections: People, Business and Place. The Assessment presents a variety of data from different sources. The main geographies used in this Atlas are districts and 2011 wards, although others are used where necessary. The Atlas sits alongside analysis of the evidence and the raw data (Excel spreadsheets).
More data will be available as further datasets are added to the Assessment over the coming months. All available data can be explored from the Data Index.
This slideshow provides tips on how to use the GCGP Economic Assessment Atlas.
Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”
