DARPA selects Intel for AI, machine learning development
In order to leverage techniques and technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning, DARPA, a U.S. Department of Defense agency, selected Intel to help develop a new computing platform for the DARPA project.

According to Intel, “Intel’s Data Center Group, Platform Engineering Group and Intel Labs will work as one of the hardware architecture research performers for DARPA HIVE, with a joint research program between Intel and DARPA valued at more than $100 million during a four and a half year effort.”

“By mid-2021, the goal of HIVE is to provide a 16-node demonstration platform showcasing 1,000x performance-per-watt improvement over today’s best-in-class hardware and software for graph analytics workloads,” said Dhiraj Mallick, vice president of the Data Center Group and general manager of the Innovation Pathfinding and Architecture Group at Intel. “Intel’s interest and focus in the area may lead to earlier commercial products featuring components of this pathfinding technology much sooner.”

Cedexis launches Application Delivery Platform
Cedexis opened a new chapter for software defined networking with the release of its new Application Delivery Platform. It combines a comprehensive view of Internet traffic from 14 billion real user measurements, it offers integrations with data sources, and it provides operations teams with the ability to manage and optimize their distributed infrastructures.

“Cloud platforms and content delivery networks provide a powerful set of infrastructure tools for developers to use, but historically getting the best use out of them has been extremely tricky,” said Ryan Windham, Cedexis CEO. “While each vendor provides tools, ultimately the burden of delivery optimization lies with the individual operations team. The Cedexis ADP provides objective analyses and recommendations, spanning both the private and public elements of each organization’s network, ensuring that customers are served at the highest level of quality, in the most cost-effective manner.”
