The document discusses Cell technology for graphics and visualization. It provides an overview of the Cell architecture including its Power Processor Element (PPE) and Synergistic Processor Elements (SPEs). The PPE handles operating system tasks while the SPEs provide computational performance. The document outlines programming models for the Cell including function offload, application specific accelerators, computational acceleration, streaming, and a shared memory multiprocessor model. It also discusses heterogeneous threading and a single source compiler approach.
clCaffe*: Unleashing the Power of Intel Graphics for Deep Learning AccelerationIntel® Software
In this presentation, you will hear a story about how Intel graphics can accelerate deep learning applications. The method is simple and reproducible, with impressive results of up to four times over the original CPU performance. We introduce clCaffe*, an extension of the well-known Caffe* framework with OpenCL™ standard. This OpenCL™ standard enables primitives of the convolutional neural networks (CNN) pipeline to operate on GPU (graphics processing unit), FPGA (field programmable gate array) or any device with OpenCL support. Once set up, Caffe users can seamlessly toggle to clCaffe to take advantage of Intel graphics acceleration. Compared with original CPUs, Intel graphics presents 2.5x speedup (AlexNet classification), or 4.0x (GoogleNet classification) on 5th or 6th generation Intel® Core™ processors. Finally, we give a detailed analysis of clCaffe performance, and identify the lacking components in Intel Graphics software stack that impair its performance in the deep learning support.

"To get to a future state of ‘AI everywhere,’ we’ll need to address the crush of data being generated and ensure enterprises are empowered to make efficient use of their data, processing it where it’s collected when it makes sense and making smarter use of their upstream resources," said Naveen Rao, Intel vice president and GM, Artificial Intelligence Products Group. "Data centers and the cloud need to have access to performant and scalable general purpose computing and specialized acceleration for complex AI applications. In this future vision of AI everywhere, a holistic approach is needed—from hardware to software to applications.”

Smartphones architecture is generally different from
common desktop architectures. It is limited by power, size and
cost of manufacturing with the goal to provide the best
experience for users in a minimum cost. Stemming from this
fact, modern micro-processors are designed with an
architecture that has three main components: an application
processor that executes the end user’s applications, a modem
responding to baseband radio activities, and peripheral devices
for interacting with the end user.
Parallelism
Multicores:
The Cortex A7 MPCore processor implements the ARMv7-A
architecture. The Cortex A7 MPCore processor has one to
four processors in a single multi-processor device. The
following figure shows an example configuration with four
processors [3].
In this paper, we are discussing the architecture of the
application processor of Apple iPhone. Specifically, Apple
iPhone uses ARM Cortex generation of processors as their
core. The following sections discusses this architecture in terms
of Instruction Set Architecture, Memory Hierarchy and
Parallelism.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
