Enterprise High Performance Computing Market to Reach $31.5 Billion by 2025, According to Tractica

BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Over the past two decades, enterprises have realized the value of using clusters of computers to solve complex mathematical, computational, and simulation/modeling problems. The market is currently dominated by high performance computing (HPC) equipment used for traditional use cases, or situations in which an HPC system is used for heavy-duty number crunching, simulation, and analysis, techniques that require the brute force of cluster computing to reduce the...

3D Sensors Provide Security, Better Games

Communications of the ACM, Vol. 61 No. 6, Pages 15-17
10.1145/3204449
Comments
Sensor technology is designed to allow machines to interact with real-world inputs, whether they are humans interacting with their smartphones, autonomous vehicles navigating on a busy street, or robots using sensors to aid in manufacturing. Not surprisingly, three-dimensional (3D) sensors, which allow a machine to understand the size, shape, and distance of an object or objects within its field of view, have attra...

Using AI for More Accurate Weather Forecasting

Since the beginning of time, humans have tried to accurately forecast the weather, using historical data and patterns to infer what might occur in the future. While the most obvious consumer benefit of simply enhancing convenience (e.g., helping to schedule a vacation so it does not coincide with bad weather or ensuring that the Little League game is not scheduled for a rainy day), even slight improvements in predicting the weather could yield significant gains for businesses, government agen...

Artificial Intelligence for Enterprise Applications

Enterprises are clearly recognizing the value associated with incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into their business processes. The number of proof-of-concept and pilot programs continues to grow, and larger scale commercial deployments of AI technology are being publicized by enterprise organizations around the globe. Indeed, much of the success of AI is due the fact that most tasks currently delegated to AI technology are data-driven and therefore easily measured or benchmarked. Whe...

Autonomous Construction Vehicles are Building the Future

While there has been an outsized amount of hype around self-driving cars over the past few years, regulatory and technological challenges likely will delay their introduction until at least the early part of the next decade. In fact, it is more likely that types of autonomous vehicles that can be operated within an enclosed setting, such as vehicles used on construction sites, will gain traction before self-driving cars do.
San Francisco-based Built Robotics is taking the lessons learned from...

The Effectiveness of Coding Camps

Andrew Sorensen has been working as a software engineer for technology company Expedia for the past 16 months, but unlike many programmers, the former car salesman didn't spend years toiling away at a university studying computer science. Instead, lured by the promises of a good salary, Sorensen enrolled in 2015 as a student at Coding Dojo, a 14-week, intensive coding school that emphasizes a narrow focus on hands-on programming techniques, and wound up landing a job at the travel website com...
