If a tablet can’t integrate into your secure enterprise environment well enough to perform basic tasks for your workers, it has no business in your workplace. In our tests, the Fujitsu STYLISTIC Q702 tablet powered by an Intel Core i5 vPro processor and Windows 8 not only completed common scenarios generally more quickly than the third-generation Apple iPad, it did so without encountering any integration issues for the tasks we tested. The Intel Core i5 vPro processor-based Windows 8 tablet was able to open, edit, and save documents as we intended, and let us be full participants in a WebEx conference. In contrast, the Apple iPad was unable to get the job done with these simple, everyday tasks.

We estimated costs for an organization to purchase, deploy, manage, and secure a Dell Venue 11 Pro 2 in 1 with Intel Core processor featuring Intel vPro technology versus a sub-$1,000 laptop combined with either an iPad or Android tablet. At first blush, one might expect a laptop and a low-cost tablet to be cheaper than a 2 in 1 Intel vPro. That was not true for this comparison: The Dell Venue 11 Pro device at $1289.97 including tablet dock and keyboard case did cost more than the laptop model we used in this analysis, which was priced at $779.00. The cost advantages of the Dell Venue 11 Pro became obvious when we added in the costs of the tablet, hardware support, consumer tablet replacement costs, and costs to deploy, manage, secure, and support two devices versus one Dell Venue 11 Pro 2 in 1 Intel vPro device with business-grade security. The savings would become even more dramatic if you factored in the costs associated with additional peripheral devices and accessories, and the time employees must spend managing files and content (costs we omitted from our analysis).
For companies that want to provide their workers with tablet devices and for companies that support bring-your-own employee-purchased or BYOD solutions, the benefits of a single 2 in 1 device such as the Dell Venue 11 Pro 2 in 1 Intel vPro are many.

Help skilled workers succeed with Dell Latitude 7030 and 7230 Rugged Extreme ...Principled Technologies
Instead of equipping consumer-grade tablets with rugged cases
Conclusion
In our hands-on testing, the Dell Latitude 7030 and 7230 Rugged Extreme Tablets showed that they are better equipped to help skilled workers than consumer-grade Apple iPad Pro and Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 tablets in multiple ways. They provide more built-in capabilities and features than the consumer-grade tablets we tested. And, while they were more expensive than the rugged-case fortified consumer-grade options we tested, their rugged claims were more than skin deep.
In our performance and durability tests, the Dell Latitude 7030 and 7230 Rugged Extreme Tablets performed better in demanding manufacturing, logistics, and field service environments than consumer-grade tablets with rugged cases. Both Rugged Extreme Tablets, with their greater thermal range, suffered less performance degradation in extreme temperatures, never failed and were merely scuffed after 26 hard drops, survived a 10 minute drenching with no ill effects, and were easier to view in direct sunlight than Apple iPad Pro and Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 tablets.

Investing in GenAI: Cost‑benefit analysis of Dell on‑premises deployments vs....Principled Technologies
Conclusion
Diving into the world of GenAI has the potential to yield a great many benefits for your organization, but it first requires consideration for how best to implement those GenAI workloads. Whether your AI goals are to create a chatbot for online visitors, generate marketing materials, aid troubleshooting, or something else, implementing an AI solution requires careful planning and decision-making. A major decision is whether to host GenAI in the cloud or keep your data on premises. Traditional on-premises solutions can provide superior security and control, a substantial concern when dealing with large amounts of potentially sensitive data. But will supporting a GenAI solution on site be a drain on an organization’s IT budget?
In our research, we found that the value proposition is just the opposite: Hosting GenAI workloads on premises, either in a traditional Dell solution or using a managed Dell APEX pay-per-use solution, could significantly lower your GenAI costs over 3 years compared to hosting these workloads in the cloud. In fact, we found that a comparable AWS SageMaker solution would cost up to 3.8 times as much and an Azure ML solution would cost up to 3.6 times as much as GenAI on a Dell APEX pay-per-use solution. These results show that organizations looking to implement GenAI and reap the business benefits to come can find many advantages in an on-premises Dell solution, whether they opt to purchase and manage it themselves or choose a subscription-based Dell APEX pay-per-use solution. Choosing an on-premises Dell solution could save your organization significantly over hosting GenAI in the cloud, while giving you control over the security and privacy of your data as well as any updates and changes to the environment, and while ensuring your environment is managed consistently.
Workstations powered by Intel can play a vital role in CPU-intensive AI devel...Principled Technologies
In three AI development workflows, Intel processor-powered workstations delivered strong performance, without using their GPUs, making them a good choice for this part of the AI process
Conclusion
We executed three AI development workflows on tower workstations and mobile workstations from three vendors, with each workflow utilizing only the Intel CPU cores, and found that these platforms were suitable for carrying out various AI tasks. For two of the workflows, we learned that completing the tasks on the tower workstations took roughly half as much time as on the mobile workstations. This supports the idea that the tower workstations would be appropriate for a development environment for more complex models with a greater volume of data and that the mobile workstations would be well-suited for data scientists fine-tuning simpler models. In the third workflow, we explored tower workstation performance with different precision levels and learned that using 16-bit floating point precision allowed the workstations to execute the workflow in less time and also reduced memory usage dramatically. For all three AI workflows we executed, we consider the time the workstations needed to complete the tasks to be acceptable, and believe that these workstations can be appropriate, cost-effective choices for these kinds of activities.
Enable security features with no impact to OLTP performance with Dell PowerEd...Principled Technologies
Get comparable online transaction processing (OLTP) performance with or without enabling AMD Secure Memory Encryption and AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization - Encrypted State
Conclusion
You’ve likely already implemented many security measures for your servers, which may include physical security for the data center, hardware-level security, and software-level security. With the cost of data breaches high and still growing, however, wise IT teams will consider what additional security measures they may be able to implement.
AMD SME and SEV-ES are technologies that are already available within your AMD processor-powered 16th Generation Dell PowerEdge servers—and in our testing, we saw that they can offer extra layers of security without affecting performance. We compared the online transaction processing performance of a Dell PowerEdge R7625 server, powered by AMD EPYC 9274F processors, with and without these two security features enabled. We found that enabling AMD Secure Memory Encryption and Secure Encrypted Virtualization-Encrypted State did not impact performance at all.
If your team is assessing areas where you might be able to enhance security—without paying a large performance cost—consider enabling AME SME and AMD SEV-ES in your Dell PowerEdge servers.
Improving energy efficiency in the data center: Endure higher temperatures wi...Principled Technologies
In high-temperature test scenarios, a Dell PowerEdge HS5620 server continued running an intensive workload without component warnings or failures, while a Supermicro SYS‑621C-TN12R server failed
Conclusion: Remain resilient in high temperatures with the Dell PowerEdge HS5620 to help increase efficiency
Increasing your data center’s temperature can help your organization make strides in energy efficiency and cooling cost savings. With servers that can hold up to these higher everyday temperatures—as well as high temperatures due to unforeseen circumstances—your business can continue to deliver the performance your apps and clients require.
When we ran an intensive floating-point workload on a Dell PowerEdge HS5620 and a Supermicro SYS-621CTN12R in three scenario types simulating typical operations at 25°C, a fan failure, and an HVAC malfunction, the Dell server experienced no component warnings or failures. In contrast, the Supermicro server experienced warnings in all three scenario types and experienced component failures in the latter two tests, rendering the system unusable. When we inspected and analyzed each system, we found that the Dell PowerEdge HS5620 server’s motherboard layout, fans, and chassis offered cooling design advantages.
For businesses aiming to meet sustainability goals by running hotter data centers, as well as those concerned with server cooling design, the Dell PowerEdge HS5620 is a strong contender to take on higher temperatures during day-to-day operations and unexpected malfunctions.

Three AMD EPYC processor-based two-processor solutions outshined comparable Intel Xeon Scalable processor-based solutions by handling more Redis workload transactions and requests while consuming less power
Conclusion
Performance and energy efficiency are significant factors in processor selection for servers running data-intensive workloads, such as Redis. We compared the Redis performance and energy consumption of a server cluster in three AMD EPYC two-processor configurations against that of a server cluster in two Intel Xeon Scalable two-processor configurations. In each of our three test scenarios, the server cluster backed by AMD EPYC processors outperformed the server cluster backed by Intel Xeon Scalable processors. In addition, one of the AMD EPYC processor-based clusters consumed 20 percent less power than its Intel Xeon Scalable processor-based counterpart. Combining these measurements gave us power efficiency metrics that demonstrate how valuable AMD EPYC processor-based servers could be—you could see better performance per watt with these AMD EPYC processor-based server clusters and potentially get more from your Redis or other data intensive applications and workloads while reducing data center power costs.
Improve performance and gain room to grow by easily migrating to a modern Ope...Principled Technologies
We deployed this modern environment, then migrated database VMs from legacy servers and saw performance improvements that support consolidation
Conclusion
If your organization’s transactional databases are running on gear that is several years old, you have much to gain by upgrading to modern servers with new processors and networking components and an OpenShift environment. In our testing, a modern OpenShift environment with a cluster of three Dell PowerEdge R7615 servers with 4th Generation AMD EPYC processors and high-speed 100Gb Broadcom NICs outperformed a legacy environment with MySQL VMs running on a cluster of three Dell PowerEdge R7515 servers with 3rd Generation AMD EPYC processors and 25Gb Broadcom NICs. We also easily migrated a VM from the legacy environment to the modern environment, with only a few steps required to set up and less than ten minutes of hands-on time. The performance advantage of the modern servers would allow a company to reduce the number of servers necessary to perform a given amount of database work, thus lowering operational expenditures such as power and cooling and IT staff time for maintenance. The high-speed 100Gb Broadcom NICs in this solution also give companies better network performance and networking capacity to grow as they embrace emerging technologies such as AI that put great demands on networks.

Upgrade your cloud infrastructure with Dell PowerEdge R760 servers and VMware...Principled Technologies
Compared to a cluster of PowerEdge R750 servers running VMware Cloud Foundation 4.5
Conclusion
If your company is struggling with underperforming infrastructure, upgrading to 16th Generation Dell PowerEdge servers running VCF 5.1 could be just what you need to handle more database throughput and reduce vSAN latencies. We found that a Dell PowerEdge R760 server cluster running VCF 5.1 processed over 78 percent more TPM and 79 percent more NOPM than a Dell PowerEdge R750 server cluster running VCF 4.5. It’s also worth noting that the PowerEdge R750 cluster bottlenecked on vSAN storage, with max write latency at 8.9ms. For reference, the PowerEdge R760 cluster clocked in at 3.8ms max write latency. This higher latency is due in part to the single disk group per host on the moderately configured PowerEdge R750 cluster, while the better-configured PowerEdge R760 cluster supported four disk groups per host. As an additional benefit to IT admins, we also found that the embedded VMware Aria Operation adapter provided useful infrastructure insights.
Based on our research using publicly available materials, it appears that Dell supports nine of the ten PC security features we investigated, HP supports six of them, and Lenovo supports three features.

Compared to the Supermicro management portfolio
Conclusion
Choosing a vendor for server purchases is about more than just the hardware platform. Decision-makers must also consider more long-term concerns, including system/data security, energy efficiency, and ease of management. These concerns make the systems management tools a vendor offers as important as the hardware.
We investigated the features and capabilities of server management tools from Dell and Supermicro, comparing Dell iDRAC9 against Supermicro IPMI for embedded server management and Dell OpenManage Enterprise and CloudIQ against Supermicro Server Manager for one-to-many device and console management and monitoring. We found that the Dell management tools provided more comprehensive security, sustainability, and management/monitoring features and capabilities than Supermicro servers did. In addition, Dell tools automated more tasks to ease server management, resulting in significant time savings for administrators versus having to do the same tasks manually with Supermicro tools.
When making a server purchase, a vendor’s associated management products are critical to protect data, support a more sustainable environment, and to ease the maintenance of systems. Our tests and research showed that the Dell management portfolio for PowerEdge servers offered more features to help organizations meet these goals than the comparable Supermicro management products.

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.

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).
From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

Comparing tablets in secure environments: Intel Core i5 vPro processor-based Microsoft Windows 8 tablet vs. Apple iPad
1. COMPARING TABLETS IN SECURE ENVIRONMENTS:
INTEL CORE I5 VPRO PROCESSOR-BASED WINDOWS 8 TABLET VS. APPLE IPAD
The popularity of tablets in the workplace is rising as employees seek lighter,
sleeker, more portable devices to use to their work on the go. Because not all tablets fit
successfully into a business environment where security is a concern, it is essential to
select a device that lets workers complete everyday tasks with ease.
In the Principled Technologies labs, we compared user experiences that two
tablets provide: a Fujitsu STYLISTIC Q702 tablet powered by an Intel Core i5 vPro
processor and Microsoft® Windows® 8 and a third-generation Apple iPad. Our tests
looked at the tablets’ abilities to let workers connect to a secure VPN and open, edit,
and save files directly over the VPN; connect to a WebEx video conference and share a
file during the session, rotating “Presenter privileges” to the others on the call; and
opening email, opening and editing attachments, connecting to network file shares, and
collaborating with colleagues. The verdict? We found that the Intel Core vPro processor-
based Windows 8 tablet was able to meet the needs of a typical enterprise worker with
no complications for the security scenarios we tested, while the Apple iPad presented a
number of obstacles to completing basic tasks.
Tablets for the workplace should make office life easier for the worker, not add
roadblocks to performing everyday activities. When selecting a tablet for the office, the
most easily integrated tablet provides the greatest benefit to your workers and your
organization.
NOVEMBER 2012
A PRINCIPLED TECHNOLOGIES TEST REPORT
Commissioned by Intel Corp.
2. IT’S ABOUT MORE THAN JUST NUMBERS
To learn about the enterprise compatibility of the tablets, we created scenarios
reflecting everyday work tasks in a secure environment. We measured the amount of
time it took to complete these scenarios; in almost all cases, the Fujitsu STYLISTIC Q702
tablet powered by an Intel Core i5 vPro processor and Windows 8 took less time. In
some cases, the time difference was slight, and in others, it was dramatic. For example,
the Intel-based tablet opened a large Excel file in just 2 seconds, compared to 4 minutes
for the iPad.
However, in many cases time was only part the story. If your device doesn’t
allow you to be full participant in a Web conference, but limits your role to that of a
viewer, it becomes a serious problem.
In this report, we provide both the time the tablets took to complete the
scenarios and the issues they encountered. For detailed system configuration
descriptions, see Appendix A. Appendix B provides detailed results and Appendix C
details our test procedure. Appendix D includes the characteristics of our test files.
THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB
A big advantage in choosing an Intel Core i5 vPro processor-based Windows 8
tablet is that it supports familiar, frequently used programs that typical offices use. This
allows such tablets to integrate into the existing environment while maintaining easy
collaboration with other devices.
The experience with the Apple iPad, in contrast, can be quite different. With
over 700,000 apps currently available in the App Store, choosing the right one for the
job can be a challenge. What works for some users may not work for others depending
on how they use the application and the specific environment in which they intend to
use it. Because we couldn’t test every app, we chose for each scenario what we believed
were the most likely applications a user would choose based on popularity and our test
usage scenario. Because we wanted to avoid penalizing the iPad for the possible
shortcomings of an application, for office productivity-related tasks on the iPad, we
chose both Quickoffice Pro HD and Apple’s Productivity offerings—Pages, Numbers, and
Keynote.
WHAT WE FOUND
The Fujitsu STYLISTIC Q702 tablet with Microsoft Office 2010 encountered no
issues or obstacles performing our test scenarios. It completed them generally more
quickly than the Apple iPad and required no extra steps to complete the tasks. When
handling documents, the Intel Core i5 vPro processor-based Windows 8 tablet
Comparing tablets in secure environments: A Principled Technologies test report 2
Intel Core i5 vPro processor-based Windows 8 tablet vs. Apple iPad
3. introduced no formatting problems; the files appeared as intended, and saving files
created no new issues. With the Apple iPad, that was not always the case.
With the iPad, we encountered several issues, including the inability to be a
WebEx conference presenter, crashing applications, Excel files not opening because they
contained too many rows, formatting problems that rendered documents unusable, the
inability to collaboratively work on a shared Excel file, and more. While the Apple iPad
was an adequate viewing device and could perform some tasks with relative ease, our
findings suggest that it would present several issues for tasks that employees perform
on a daily basis when using file types commonly used in the workplace.
TEST SCENARIOS
Scenario 1 – Connecting to the VPN and participating in a video conference
An employee working from home needs to access a file from work, a conference
agenda, before participating in a WebEx video conference. She connects through the
VPN to open the file, make a change to it, and save it both on the network and on her
local device. She then connects to a WebEx video conference and shares the file during
the call. During the conference, she, like each of the other attendees, takes a turn as
presenter.
Tasks
Connecting to VPN
Opening, editing, and saving files directly over the VPN
Connecting to a WebEx video conference, sharing a file with other
conference participants, and taking a turn as presenter
What we encountered
While the iPad could connect through the VPN and access the agenda document
with no issues, there were problems with editing and saving the file. Most importantly,
the iPad prevents users from acting as full WebEx conference participants—they cannot
present information.
Even if the user did have the ability to take a turn as a presenter, the document
itself would be unsuitable for sharing—it contained simply too many formatting errors
using both Quickoffice Pro HD and Pages. The document header was either partially or
entirely missing and tables were incorrectly formatted. The Quickoffice version was
missing a conference center map graphic and pie chart. The Pages version reorganized
the tables and incorrectly inserted the third table after the incomplete conference
center map graphic.
Our simple editing task, adding one word to the document title, posed a
problem because neither iPad application rendered the title correctly. Even after we
added a title back into the document, other elements remained missing—the company
logo and one table. While Quickoffice displayed some of the document’s existing tables,

4. it did not permit us to add new ones. Figure 1 shows how the tablets rendered the
document. Both iPad apps rendered it in such a way that it would be unsuitable to
present to colleagues.

5. The iPad was able to connect to the WebEx videoconference call with no issues.
However, the iPad limits users to viewing conference content and does not allow the
user to present material. Figure 2 shows the WebEx frequently asked question and
response illustrating this serious limitation.
Figure 2: WebEx on iPad's inability to present. WebEx FAQ found at http://www.webex.com/products/web-
conferencing/mobile-iphone-ipad-faq.html.
In contrast, the Fujitsu STYLISTIC Q702 encountered no obstacles or issues
performing this scenario. Connecting through the VPN and accessing the file went
smoothly and, more important, no issues arose with the document’s formatting or with
the editing and saving the document over the VPN.
Likewise, we encountered no issues during the WebEx videoconference. The
Fujitsu tablet allowed us to connect and perform all of the tasks a full conference
participant would need to do, including taking their turn as presenter and sharing a
correctly rendered document that others could view and annotate.
Figure 3 details the times, in minutes:seconds, that it took the tablets to
complete the first scenario. For a full list of compatibility issues we encountered, see
Appendix B.

6. Scenario 2 – Collaborating with multiple file types
One employee gives another employee a USB Flash drive with eight types of
documents on it. The second employee copies the files onto her tablet and opens, edits,
and saves each one locally. She then copies one of the files, a shared Excel spreadsheet,
to the network, where she collaborates on it with a third colleague.
Tasks
Transferring files from a USB flash drive onto the tablet
Opening/editing/saving different file types locally
Sharing and collaborating in Excel
What we encountered
The Intel Core i5 vPro processor-based Fujitsu STYLISTIC Q702 tablet with
Windows 8 had no issues retrieving files from a USB flash drive, editing and saving
multiple file types, or allowing collaboration.
The Apple iPad was, again, much more difficult to work with. The iPad has no
USB port and the USB adapter kits on the market work with only digital photo and video
cameras to transfer pictures and video files, other file types. To copy the files from the
flash drive to the iPad, we chose to use Dropbox, which required us to have a separate
PC with Dropbox installed. Once we got the files onto the iPad, many elements of the
files were not rendered, formatted, or even opened the way that the original files on a
PC were. Figure 4 shows how a PowerPoint animated slide was presented using
Quickoffice Pro HD on screen, and the issues that the Apple iPad presented. For a full list
of the issues we encountered on the tablets, see Appendix B.

Figure 4: How a PowerPoint slide animation appeared on the two tablets.

8. Another reason we were unable to complete this scenario with the Apple iPad
was that Quickoffice Pro HD and Apple Numbers do not allow users to work
collaboratively at the same time on shared Excel spreadsheets. A user would must work
on it, save and close it, and then notify the next user that the file is available for editing.
This of course was not an issue with the Intel Core i5 vPro processor-based Fujitsu tablet
equipped with Microsoft Office.
Figure 5 details the time it took the tablets to complete this scenario. The
Fujitsu STYLISTIC Q702 tablet powered by the Intel Core i5 vPro processor and Windows
8 took just under 3 minutes to complete the tasks, while it took the Apple iPad up to 26
minutes while encountering as many as 38 issues with the documents. For a complete
list of the issues we encountered completing this scenario, see Appendix B.

IN CONCLUSION
If a tablet can’t integrate into your secure enterprise environment well enough
to perform basic tasks for your workers, it has no business in your workplace. In our
tests, the Fujitsu STYLISTIC Q702 tablet powered by an Intel Core i5 vPro processor and
Windows 8 not only completed common scenarios generally more quickly than the
third-generation Apple iPad, it did so without encountering any integration issues for
the tasks we tested. The Intel Core i5 vPro processor-based Windows 8 tablet was able
to open, edit, and save documents as we intended, and let us be full participants in a
WebEx conference. In contrast, the Apple iPad was unable to get the job done with
these simple, everyday tasks.
