Cloud computing means storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet instead of your computer's hard drive.In computer networking, cloud computing is a phrase used to describe a variety of computing concepts that involve a large number of computers connected through a real-time communication network such as the Internet.
Cloud computing is a releasing individual and institutions from the traditional cvcle of buying-using-maintaining-upgrading IT resourcs - both hardware and software. Instead it is making IT resource accessible from anywhere and at proportions as required by the end user. Here is a brief introduction to this new transformation
Cloud computing allows users to access computing resources like servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics and more over the internet. It provides on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort. Some key characteristics of cloud computing include centralization of infrastructure, increased peak-load capacity, efficiency improvements, dynamic allocation of resources, and consistent monitored performance. There are various deployment and service models used in cloud computing like public, private, hybrid, community clouds and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS).
This document discusses enabling technologies for cloud computing, focusing on service oriented architecture and representational state transfer (REST) systems. It describes service oriented architecture as a design approach involving independent services that communicate with each other over a network. It outlines the layered architecture for web services and grids, and compares grids and clouds, noting that grids apply static resources while clouds emphasize elastic resources. It provides a brief overview of REST, describing it as a way to get information content from websites by reading designated web pages containing XML files that describe and include preferred content.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
Ivanti’s Patch Tuesday breakdown goes beyond patching your applications and brings you the intelligence and guidance needed to prioritize where to focus your attention first. Catch early analysis on our Ivanti blog, then join industry expert Chris Goettl for the Patch Tuesday Webinar Event. There we’ll do a deep dive into each of the bulletins and give guidance on the risks associated with the newly-identified vulnerabilities.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
For the full video of this presentation, please visit: https://www.edge-ai-vision.com/2024/06/temporal-event-neural-networks-a-more-efficient-alternative-to-the-transformer-a-presentation-from-brainchip/
Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.

6. Definition - NIST
Cloud computing is a model for enabling everywhere,
convenient, on-demand network.
Configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers,
storage, services, and applications)
Rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management
effort.
7. Characteristics
On-demand self-service: The ability for an end user to sign up
and receive services without the long delays that have
characterized traditional IT.
Broad network access: Ability to access the service via
standard platforms (desktop, laptop, mobile etc).
Resource : Resources are access across multiple customers.
Rapid elasticity: Capability can scale to cope with demand
peaks
Measured service: Billing is metered and delivered as a utility
service.
8. On the basis of Usage
Public Cloud:
Service providers offer their resources as services to general
public.
No initial capital investment on infrastructure and shifting risk
Lacks in control over data, network and security settings.
9. Private Cloud:
Deployed inside the firewall and managed by the user
organization
User organization owns the software and hardware running in
the cloud
Resources typically not shared outside the organization
and full control is retained by the organization
10. Hybrid Cloud:
It consists of both internal and external
providers which means both private
and public clouds.
It may be organizations or universities,
but they share common concerns such
as their mission, policies, online
resources, security, regulatory
compliance needs, and so on.
11. Types of Service
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Software as a Service (SaaS)
14. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
The IaaS layer gives the user an brief view on the
hardware, which is computers, mass storage
systems, server, networks, etc.
This is achieved by providing a user interface for the management
of a number of resources in the resource set sub-layer (RS).
Physical resources using virtualization technologies such as

41. SaaS vs. Hosting for Libraries: What’s
the Difference?
SaaS: The software vendor or other provider owns the application
(whether a discovery service, link resolver, ERM, or other) and
delivers it via the Internet.
Libraries have the ability to customize the application for their own
use via Web-based tools and an API.
Hosting Model: The provider runs the application on the library’s
behalf, on the provider’s hardware, but doesn’t take on the task of
maintaining the software. Upgrades and maintenance are up to the
library.
42. Multi-tenancy vs. Single-tenancy
• One of the key differences between SaaS and hosting
is the principle of tenancy .
• With multi -tenancy, there is only one copy of the
software running, which accesses only one copy of the
database (information). Since multiple libraries share
and access this one instance of the software.
• With Single- tenancy, each library maintains its own
copy of the software. Since each copy only serves one
library.

Claimed by Big Commercial Companies (Amazon Web Services,
Microsoft Azure Platform and Google Cloud Services).
The study reveals that, cloud computing is expected to have a
significant impact on the services industry, in terms of services
offered, delivery mechanisms and business models. The Indian
market for cloud computing is expected to grow in 2020.
60. Top 8 things to take away about cloud
computing in the library context
1. Understand what you are moving to the cloud
2. Understand local legal requirements (national/state,
institutional, etc.)
3. Understand the costs of moving to the cloud
4. Find a cloud provider you trust
5. Articulate your requirements clearly
6. Understand your SLA
7. Get a lawyer involved
8. Have an exit strategy

leap in the near future.
• Services provided by libraries will become more user-
centric, more professional and more effective, etc. We
can believe that libraries will create more knowledge
benefits and cost minimization strategies for our
country with the help of Cloud Computing.
65. Cloud Quotes
The correct answer is “both”. I do not think by 2020 people will
want to give up the autonomy and control they get by having
software and data on their own device, but many of the service
that we will expect...will require the power of a cloud
supercomputer.
- by David D. Clark, American, Computer scientist
The cloud will consist of a white part(trusted and checked
information), a grey part (question mark) and a black part(crap
information: untrusted, unchecked, violent, fraudulent).
