AWS re:Invent 2016: High Performance Computing on AWS (CMP207)Amazon Web Services
High performance computing in the cloud is enabling high scale compute- and graphics-intensive workloads across industries, ranging from aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing to life sciences, financial services, and energy. AWS provides application developers and end users with unprecedented computational power for massively parallel applications, in areas such as large-scale fluid and materials simulations, 3D content rendering, financial computing, and deep learning. This session provides an overview of HPC capabilities on AWS, describes the newest generations of accelerated computing instances (including P2), as well as highlighting customer and partner use-cases across industries.
Attendees learn about best practices for running HPC workflows in the cloud, including graphical pre- and post-processing, workflow automation, and optimization. Attendees also learn about new and emerging HPC use cases: in particular, deep learning training and inference, large-scale simulations, and high performance data analytics.
Hadoop Operations for Production Systems (Strata NYC)Kathleen Ting
Hadoop is emerging as the standard for big data processing and analytics. However, as usage of the Hadoop clusters grow, so do the demands of managing and monitoring these systems.
In this full-day Strata Hadoop World tutorial, attendees will get an overview of all phases for successfully managing Hadoop clusters, with an emphasis on production systems — from installation, to configuration management, service monitoring, troubleshooting and support integration.
We will review tooling capabilities and highlight the ones that have been most helpful to users, and share some of the lessons learned and best practices from users who depend on Hadoop as a business-critical system.
A thread is a single sequence stream within in a process. Because threads have some of the properties of processes, they are sometimes called lightweight processes. In a process, threads allow multiple executions of streams. ... An operating system that has thread facility, the basic unit of CPU utilization is a thread.
HPC and cloud distributed computing, as a journeyPeter Clapham
Introducing an internal cloud brings new paradigms, tools and infrastructure management. When placed alongside traditional HPC the new opportunities are significant But getting to the new world with micro-services, autoscaling and autodialing is a journey that cannot be achieved in a single step.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
