The document discusses AMD's technologies for improving energy efficiency and performance in servers and graphics processors. It highlights AMD's Opteron and FireStream processors, which provide high performance while using less power than competitors. AMD is focusing on innovations like its CoolCore technology, 45nm manufacturing process, and support for OpenCL to enhance efficiency and acceleration capabilities across its product lines.
GPU compute has leveraged discrete GPUs for a fairly limited set of academic and supercomputing system workloads until recently. With the increase in performance of integrated GPU inside an Accelerated Processing Unit (APU), introduction of Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) devices, and proliferation of programming tools, we are seeing GPU compute make its way into mainstream applications. In this presentation we cover GPU compute and HSA, focusing on the application of GPU compute in the Medical and Print Imaging segments. Examples of performance data are reviewed and the case is made for how GPU compute can deliver tangible benefits.

In this deck from the UK HPC Conference, Gunter Roeth from NVIDIA presents: Hardware & Software Platforms for HPC, AI and ML.
"Data is driving the transformation of industries around the world and a new generation of AI applications are effectively becoming programs that write software, powered by data, vs by computer programmers. Today, NVIDIA’s tensor core GPU sits at the core of most AI, ML and HPC applications, and NVIDIA software surrounds every level of such a modern application, from CUDA and libraries like cuDNN and NCCL embedded in every deep learning framework and optimized and delivered via the NVIDIA GPU Cloud to reference architectures designed to streamline the deployment of large scale infrastructures."

Exceeding the Limits of Air Cooling to Unlock Greater Potential in HPCinside-BigData.com
In this deck from the Perth HPC Conference, Werner Scholz from XENON Systems presents: Exceeding the Limits of Air Cooling to Unlock Greater Potential in HPC.
"A decade ago, 100 watts per CPU was devastating to thermal design. Today, Intel’s highest performing CPUs (e.g. Intel Cascade Lake-AP 9282 processor) have a thermal design envelope of 400 watts. There really is no end in sight, and accommodating more power is critical to advancing performance. The ability to dissipate the resulting heat is the hard ceiling that systems face in terms of performance – giving greater importance to liquid cooling breakthroughs. With liquid cooling, less energy is expended to cool systems – a significant savings in HPC deployments with arrays of servers drawing energy and generating heat. Electrical current drives the CPU and enables it to function. This electrical power is converted into thermal energy (heat). To maintain a stable temperature, the CPU needs to be cooled by efficiently removing this heat and releasing it. Liquid cooling is the best way to cool a system because liquid transfers heat much more efficiently than air. From an environmental perspective, liquid cooling reduces both those characteristics to create a smarter and more ecological approach on a grand scale. The cascade of value continues, as ambient heat removed from systems can then be used to heat buildings and augment or replace traditional heating systems. It’s an intelligent approach to thermal management, distributing the economic value of reduced energy use and transforming heat into an enterprise asset."

AMD Bridges the X86 and ARM Ecosystems for the Data Center AMD
Presentation by Lisa Su, senior vice president and general manager, Global Business Units, AMD regarding AMD’s announcement that it will design and build 64-bit ARM technology-based processors.
In this deck from the Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing 2019, Howard Pritchard from LANL and Simon Hammond from Sandia present: NNSA Explorations: ARM for Supercomputing.
"The Arm-based Astra system at Sandia will be used by the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) to run advanced modeling and simulation workloads for addressing areas such as national security, energy and science.
"By introducing Arm processors with the HPE Apollo 70, a purpose-built HPC architecture, we are bringing powerful elements, like optimal memory performance and greater density, to supercomputers that existing technologies in the market cannot match,” said Mike Vildibill, vice president, Advanced Technologies Group, HPE. “Sandia National Laboratories has been an active partner in leveraging our Arm-based platform since its early design, and featuring it in the deployment of the world’s largest Arm-based supercomputer, is a strategic investment for the DOE and the industry as a whole as we race toward achieving exascale computing.”

BKK16-317 How to generate power models for EAS and IPALinaro
Generating a specific power model for the platform is a pre-requirement for delpoying EAS and IPA. This makes understanding power models and how to generate parameters for them a useful skill. In this session we demonstrate how to use workload automation to gather power data from a board. We will then describe how to derive rough values for the EAS and IPA power models using nothing but this easily observable data. We will not rely on any information provided by OEM or SoC vendor.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

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.

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).
