Quantum’s New Reference Architecture Tackles Autonomous Driving
San Jose-based Quantum Corporation aims to operate at the cutting edge of data management – and that edge, of course, is moving rapidly towards AI and machine learning. Now, the company is announcing a new reference ar Read more…
Cribl Raises $200 Million in Series C Funding to Advance Data Observability
Founded in 2017, San Francisco-based startup Cribl named itself after an obscure device called a cribble – which the company defines as "an instrument with a meshed or perforated bottom generally used for gold panning Read more…
UK to Leverage Cloud-Predicting AI to Anticipate Solar Energy Supply
Solar and wind plants provide clean, affordable electricity on large scales, but they have one major bugbear: intermittency. Essentially, intermittency refers to the fact that wind and solar energy are both, to some degr Read more…
Big Data Tool Enables Real-Time Disaster Recovery Monitoring
The Southeast is bracing for a heavier-than-normal hurricane season while California continues to face down its second largest wildfire in recorded history – and with climate change continuing to worsen, that’s just Read more…
NFL, AWS Launch New Competition to Track Helmet Impacts in Football
In 2017, researchers from Boston University studied the donated brains of 111 National Football League (NFL) players. All but one showed signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disease assoc Read more…
Machine Learning Illuminates Extreme Flooding in the Midwest
Floods just ravaged western Europe, fires are devastating the West Coast, and forecasters are projecting a busier-than-normal Atlantic hurricane season: extreme weather is on the rise, and it’s not going away any time Read more…
Argonne National Laboratory Applies Machine Learning for Solar Power Advances
Advancing solar power means developing and identifying ever-more efficient materials for trapping solar energy – and that kind of materials science means applying powerful computing and robust data analysis. Now, resea Read more…
NASA Uses AI to Improve Its Solar Imaging
For the last 11 years, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) spacecraft has been planted in orbit around the Earth, using a series of instruments to observe the Sun in exacting detail. This extended mission has taken Read more…
Apache Cassandra 4.0 Launches
Nearly six years after the 3.0 release of Apache Cassandra NoSQL database in November 2015 – and more than a year since it launched into beta – Apache Cassandra 4.0 has finally released to general customers. Apache C Read more…
Berkeley Lab Makes Strides in Autonomous Discovery to Tackle the Data Deluge
Data production is outpacing the human capacity to process said data. Whether a giant radio telescope, a new particle accelerator or lidar data from autonomous cars, the sheer scale of the data generated is increasingly Read more…
