Pivotal Big Data Suite: A Technical OverviewVMware Tanzu

Speaker: Les Klein, EMEA CTO Data, Pivotal
Data science is the critical element in exploiting data, but several problems prevent organisations from maximising its value. Data scientists often find it hard to work efficiently, with delays in getting access to needed data and resources. Enterprise developers find it hard to incorporate machine learning models into their applications, and IT spends too much time supporting complex environments. Business users rarely are directly involved in the process and don’t have the means to build and consume their own predictive models. All of this means that business executives are not seeing the full ROI they expect from their data science and analytics investments. In this session, we will introduce some cloud based solutions designed to address these challenges.

The Next Generation of Big Data AnalyticsHortonworks
Apache Hadoop has evolved rapidly to become a leading platform for managing and processing big data. If your organization is examining how you can use Hadoop to store, transform, and refine large volumes of multi-structured data, please join us for this session where we will discuss, the emergence of "big data" and opportunities for deriving business value, the evolution of Apache Hadoop and future directions, essential components required in a Hadoop-powered platform, and solution architectures that integrate Hadoop with existing data discovery and data warehouse platforms.
Empowering you with Democratized Data Access, Data Science and Machine LearningDataWorks Summit
Data science with its specialized tools and knowledge has been a forte of data scientists. However, it is not easy even for data scientists to get access to data that could be in different data stores in the organization. To unleash the power of data and gain valuable insights, machine learning needs to be made easily consumable by various stake holders and access to data made simpler. As an organization's data volumes continue to grow, delivering these insights real time is a complex challenge to solve.
This session will provide on overview of an approach to building a scalable solution where machine and deep learning and access to data is made much more consumable and simpler by the fastest SQL on Hadoop engine on the planet, a rich data scientist toolset and an infrastructure that can deliver the responsiveness needed for production environments.
Speakers:

Ashutosh Mate, Global Senior Solutions Architect, IBM
Hadoop operations started on-prem primarily driven by Apache Ambari. However, due to the agility and flexibility of the cloud, it has driven many Hadoop cluster operations to the cloud and to hybrid environments. Cloud is enabling many ephemeral on-demand use cases which is a game-changing opportunity for analytic workloads. But all of this comes with the challenges of running enterprise workloads in the cloud securely and with ease.
Apache Ambari is used by thousands of Hadoop Operators to manage the deployment, lifecycle, and automation of DevOps for Hadoop ecosystem projects. Starting out, Apache Ambari installed a handful of Apache Hadoop ecosystem projects, on a few operating systems, and helped with the most basic Hadoop operational tasks. Today, the product manages over 20 different services, runs on multiple major operating systems and versions, and automates many of the most challenging Hadoop operational tasks in the most secure customer environments.
In this session, we will also take you through Cloudbreak as a solution to simplify provisioning and managing enterprise workloads while providing an open and common experience for deploying workloads across clouds. We will discuss the challenges (and opportunities) to run enterprise workloads in the cloud and will go through a live demo of how the latest from Cloudbreak enables enterprises to easily and securely run Apache Hadoop. This includes deep-dive discussion on Ambari Blueprints, recipes, custom images, and enabling Kerberos -- which are all key capabilities for Enterprise deployments.
As part of this talk, will walk you through what we've learned, the challenges we've overcome, and how the Apache Ambari and Cloudbreak community has changed the product to handle them. The future is fast approaching, and with it comes new on-premise and cloud deployment architectures. See how Apache Ambari and Cloudbreak are being re-imagined to handle these new challenges.

Data Lake for the Cloud: Extending your Hadoop ImplementationHortonworks
As more applications are created using Apache Hadoop that derive value from the new types of data from sensors/machines, server logs, click-streams, and other sources, the enterprise "Data Lake" forms with Hadoop acting as a shared service. While these Data Lakes are important, a broader life-cycle needs to be considered that spans development, test, production, and archival and that is deployed across a hybrid cloud architecture.
If you have already deployed Hadoop on-premise, this session will also provide an overview of the key scenarios and benefits of joining your on-premise Hadoop implementation with the cloud, by doing backup/archive, dev/test or bursting. Learn how you can get the benefits of an on-premise Hadoop that can seamlessly scale with the power of the cloud.

How Apache Spark and Apache Hadoop are being used to keep banking regulators ...DataWorks Summit
The global financial crisis showed that traditional IT systems at banks were ill equiped to monitor and manage the daily-changing risk landscape during the global financial crisis. The sheer amount of data that needed to be crunched meant that many of the banks were day(s) behind in calculating, understanding and reporting their risk positions. Post crisis, a review by banking regulator, led the regulators to introduce a new legislation BCBS 239: Principles for effective risk data aggregation and reporting, that requires banks to meet more stringent (timeliness) requirement, in their ability to aggregate and report on their quickly-changing risk positions or risk fines to the tune of $millions. To meet these new requirements, banks have been forced to re-think their traditional IT architectures, which are unable to cope with sheer volume of risk data, and are instead turning to Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark to build out next generation of risk systems. In this talk you will discover, how some of the leading banks in the world are leveraging Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark to meet BCBS 239 regulation.

Preparing to program Aurora at Exascale - Early experiences and future direct...inside-BigData.com
In this deck from IWOCL / SYCLcon 2020, Hal Finkel from Argonne National Laboratory presents: Preparing to program Aurora at Exascale - Early experiences and future directions.
"Argonne National Laboratory’s Leadership Computing Facility will be home to Aurora, our first exascale supercomputer. Aurora promises to take scientific computing to a whole new level, and scientists and engineers from many different fields will take advantage of Aurora’s unprecedented computational capabilities to push the boundaries of human knowledge. In addition, Aurora’s support for advanced machine-learning and big-data computations will enable scientific workflows incorporating these techniques along with traditional HPC algorithms. Programming the state-of-the-art hardware in Aurora will be accomplished using state-of-the-art programming models. Some of these models, such as OpenMP, are long-established in the HPC ecosystem. Other models, such as Intel’s oneAPI, based on SYCL, are relatively-new models constructed with the benefit of significant experience. Many applications will not use these models directly, but rather, will use C++ abstraction libraries such as Kokkos or RAJA. Python will also be a common entry point to high-performance capabilities. As we look toward the future, features in the C++ standard itself will become increasingly relevant for accessing the extreme parallelism of exascale platforms.
This presentation will summarize the experiences of our team as we prepare for Aurora, exploring how to port applications to Aurora’s architecture and programming models, and distilling the challenges and best practices we’ve developed to date. oneAPI/SYCL and OpenMP are both critical models in these efforts, and while the ecosystem for Aurora has yet to mature, we’ve already had a great deal of success. Importantly, we are not passive recipients of programming models developed by others. Our team works not only with vendor-provided compilers and tools, but also develops improved open-source LLVM-based technologies that feed both open-source and vendor-provided capabilities. In addition, we actively participate in the standardization of OpenMP, SYCL, and C++. To conclude, I’ll share our thoughts on how these models can best develop in the future to support exascale-class systems."

Biohybrid Robotic Jellyfish for Future Applications in Ocean Monitoringinside-BigData.com
In this deck from the Stanford HPC Conference, Nicole Xu from Stanford University describes how she transformed a common jellyfish into a bionic creature that is part animal and part machine.
"Animal locomotion and bioinspiration have the potential to expand the performance capabilities of robots, but current implementations are limited. Mechanical soft robots leverage engineered materials and are highly controllable, but these biomimetic robots consume more power than corresponding animal counterparts. Biological soft robots from a bottom-up approach offer advantages such as speed and controllability but are limited to survival in cell media. Instead, biohybrid robots that comprise live animals and self- contained microelectronic systems leverage the animals’ own metabolism to reduce power constraints and body as an natural scaffold with damage tolerance. We demonstrate that by integrating onboard microelectronics into live jellyfish, we can enhance propulsion up to threefold, using only 10 mW of external power input to the microelectronics and at only a twofold increase in cost of transport to the animal. This robotic system uses 10 to 1000 times less external power per mass than existing swimming robots in literature and can be used in future applications for ocean monitoring to track environmental changes."

In this deck from the Performance Optimisation and Productivity group, Lubomir Riha from IT4Innovations presents: Energy Efficient Computing using Dynamic Tuning.
"We now live in a world of power-constrained architectures and systems and power consumption represents a significant cost factor in the overall HPC system economy. For these reasons, in recent years researchers, supercomputing centers and major vendors have developed new tools and methodologies to measure and optimize the energy consumption of large-scale high performance system installations. Due to the link between energy consumption, power consumption and execution time of an application executed by the final user, it is important for these tools and the methodology used to consider all these aspects, empowering the final user and the system administrator with the capability of finding the best configuration given different high level objectives.
This webinar focused on tools designed to improve the energy-efficiency of HPC applications using a methodology of dynamic tuning of HPC applications, developed under the H2020 READEX project. The READEX methodology has been designed for exploiting the dynamic behaviour of software. At design time, different runtime situations (RTS) are detected and optimized system configurations are determined. RTSs with the same configuration are grouped into scenarios, forming the tuning model. At runtime, the tuning model is used to switch system configurations dynamically.
The MERIC tool, that implements the READEX methodology, is presented. It supports manual or binary instrumentation of the analysed applications to simplify the analysis. This instrumentation is used to identify and annotate the significant regions in the HPC application. Automatic binary instrumentation annotates regions with significant runtime. Manual instrumentation, which can be combined with automatic, allows code developer to annotate regions of particular interest."

In this deck from the Rice Oil & Gas Conference, Bradley McCredie from AMD presents: Scaling TCO in a Post Moore's Law Era.
"While foundries bravely drive forward to overcome the technical and economic challenges posed by scaling to 5nm and beyond, Moore’s law alone can provide only a fraction of the performance / watt and performance / dollar gains needed to satisfy the demands of today’s high performance computing and artificial intelligence applications. To close the gap, multiple strategies are required. First, new levels of innovation and design efficiency will supplement technology gains to continue to deliver meaningful improvements in SoC performance. Second, heterogenous compute architectures will create x-factor increases of performance efficiency for the most critical applications. Finally, open software frameworks, APIs, and toolsets will enable broad ecosystems of application level innovation."

In this deck from FOSDEM 2020, Colin Sauze from Aberystwyth University describes the development of a RaspberryPi cluster for teaching an introduction to HPC.
"The motivation for this was to overcome four key problems faced by new HPC users:
* The availability of a real HPC system and the effect running training courses can have on the real system, conversely the availability of spare resources on the real system can cause problems for the training course.
* A fear of using a large and expensive HPC system for the first time and worries that doing something wrong might damage the system.
* That HPC systems are very abstract systems sitting in data centres that users never see, it is difficult for them to understand exactly what it is they are using.
* That new users fail to understand resource limitations, in part because of the vast resources in modern HPC systems a lot of mistakes can be made before running out of resources. A more resource constrained system makes it easier to understand this.
The talk will also discuss some of the technical challenges in deploying an HPC environment to a Raspberry Pi and attempts to keep that environment as close to a "real" HPC as possible. The issue to trying to automate the installation process will also be covered."

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).

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
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.
