What the Evolution of Specialized Hardware for AI and ML Means for DevOps
DevOps teams should consider a number of different strategies to ensure apps remain efficient and portable across various chip architectures.
Of Max and Min: When Performance Engineering Plans Go Awry
Modern software developers have access to powerful tools and services which allow them to quickly develop, demo and deploy fully functional applications. But what happens when the single-user prototype satisfies all required functionality but the user says the system seems slow? Or if the initial implementation turns out fine for one user, but multiple users […]
Heterogeneous Hardware Needs Universal Software
As hardware advances and diversifies, we’re entering what many see as a new golden age of computer architecture. However, the idea of an ever-expanding hardware landscape can be daunting for software developers, because while hardware diversity is wonderful for price and innovation, it can lead to spiraling software complexity on the back end. So many […]
Intel Expands Scope of OneAPI Toolkit Initiative

At the same time, the company also revealed it is […]
‘Old Man Yells At Cloud’
These days, software programmers are increasingly estranged from hardware. Most millennials and Generation Z developers have never had to mount physical servers. They have never been lulled by the gentle hum of a server room chugging along in synchronous harmony. Today, you don’t even necessarily have to build your own PC or worry too much […]
SonicWall Adds Multi-Gigabit Switches to SD-Branch Portfolio
