Systemd in SUSE® Enterprise 12

Introduced with SUSE® Linux Enterprise 12, system is the new system startup and service manager for Linux, replacing the old System V init (SysV init). Now you can forget everything you ever knew about how Linux systems start up and manage services. systemd is different, and you need to understand how to work with it. As mentioned, the way to describe things to systemd is via unit files. Unit files take a much more standardized approach to describing a service than the LSB header: while the latter was added as a bit of an afterthoughtto make scripts more manageable, systemd’s unit files are an integral part ofthe design. Unit files primarily serve as a collection of meta information, with perhaps a few lines of shell code that actually start, stop or restart the service.

IBM Watson NLP Performance with Intel Optimizations

whitePaper | December 29, 2022

In our modern world, taking advantage of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to gain insights from data is becoming more prevalent day by day. Graphical Processing Unit (GPU) systems use multiple cores to perform parallel processing, running select workloads to decrease processing times. Compared to GPUs, Central Processing Units (CPUs) have fewer cores; previously, this resulted in less capacity for parallelized processing. To move beyond this limitation, Intel has released new hardware that runs typical AI mathematical computations more efficiently on the CPU, and has also released libraries with hardware optimizations that enable an additional increase in performance.

Deepwave Digital Creates an AI Enabled GPUReceiver for a Critical 5G Sensor

whitePaper | February 11, 2020

Deepwave Digital has leveraged the Artificial Intelligence Radio Transceiver (AIR-T) to create the first deep learning sensor for a 5G network. This network, the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS), will be the first spectrum sharing service provided by the telecommunications industry that leverages real time RF sensing. Critical to the operation of CBRS is the ability to determine if priority users are active on specific frequency channels. When no priority users are present, the spectrum may be reallocated for commercial networks to provide new enterprise services or additional bandwidth to existing services.

The UK’s AI Strategy: Where Are We Now?

whitePaper | September 22, 2022

Last year, the UK Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) published its 10- year National AI Strategy for the regulation and promotion of artificial intelligence (AI) in the UK (Report). DCMS seeks to build “the most pro-innovation regulatory environment in the world” and vows to make the UK the “best place to live and work with AI” over the next decade. Since then, the UK government and regulators have taken various steps towards this aim, with the Report anticipating a large number of AI-centric publications and consultations. Some key examples (and their latest status) are summarised below, including a policy paper and white paper on a pro-innovation national position on governing and regulating AI, an Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) consultation on the beta version of its AI and data protection risk toolkit, and a consultation on copyright and patents for AI through the UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO).

Cloud Infrastructures –Last Call for Boarding

whitePaper | July 16, 2020

Is cloud computing becoming the norm? As part of the digital offensives by many companies, cloud infrastructures are fast becoming a crucial technology driver and success factor for innovative business models and digital products. The growing interest in the Internet of Things and machine learning sent the adoption rate of the cloud soaring at numerous companies. Now, it is a question of “how” rather than “whether” cloud services can be used successfully at German companies.

Leading Through Digital AI Powered Transformation

whitePaper | December 23, 2019

We are witnessing a new genre of companies shaping the business landscape by leveraging emerging technologies and applying them with such potency to create competitive advantage. These organisations have a quest to scale; they are big on customer experience; they are open to partnerships and are able to deploy their products and services at scale through APIs; they are big adopters of the cloud and quite often are born in the cloud; they embrace design thinking and are happy to return to first principles to find innovative solutions to business problems; and they are relentless at leveraging the power of artificial intelligence (AI) for insights and decision making.

TOP 5 REASONS TO PUT PRIVILEGE FIRST

whitePaper | July 20, 2020

Privileged access is the gateway to an organization’s most valuable assets and is at the core of nearly every major security breach. Organizations must have a strategy in place to manage and monitor privileged access, as well as detect and respond to threats if they’d like to mitigate risk from today’s advanced attacks. Your application stack and infrastructure is likely quite complex and it can be hard to identify which assets are the most sensitive. And there is a never-ending supply of vendors knocking down your door competing for your time and attention. These two realities make it increasingly difficult to identify which security project to tackle next. When thinking about how to prioritize, it is advantageous to take a step back and think about your businesses goals, albeit in a slightly different way: try to envision what you would be looking for if you were an external attacker or malicious insider looking to steal sensitive data, commit Ransomware, or use your infrastructure for illicit cryptomining.
