Preface: Open vSwitch is a production quality, multilayer virtual switch licensed under the open source Apache 2.0 license.  It is designed to enable massive network automation through programmatic extension, while still supporting standard management interfaces and protocols (e.g. NetFlow, sFlow, IPFIX, RSPAN, CLI, LACP, 802.1ag).  In addition, it is designed to support distribution across multiple physical…

Preface: Using the C++ new operator, we can allocate memory at the runtime. The new operator in C++ is used for the dynamic memory allocation; It is used to allocate the memory at runtime on heap memory. Background: PyTorch is a deep learning framework open sourced by Facebook in early 2017. It is built on…

Preface: Training is the most important step in machine learning. In training, you pass the prepared data to your machine learning model to find patterns and make predictions. It results in the model learning from the data so that it can accomplish the task set. Background: What is Apache Zeppelin? Apache Zeppelin is an open-source,…

Preface: A CUDA binary (also referred to as cubin) file is an ELF-formatted file which consists of CUDA executable code sections as well as other sections containing symbols, relocators, debug info, etc. By default, the CUDA compiler driver nvcc embeds cubin files into the host executable file. Background: To dump cuda elf sections in human…

Preface: Imagine that you are training your application to differentiate between two types of cars (Ferrari and Porsche). You show the app numerous images of both cars, from appearance to features to engine design. Over time, apps begin to recognize the unique features that distinguish each other. At this point, the application can tell the…

Preface: Unlike OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Chat with RTX doesn’t remember the context of prompts. Asking Chat with RTX to give examples of fishes in one prompt and then asking for a description of “the fishes” in the next prompt will result in a blank – users will need to spell out everything explicitly. Background: Chat with…

AMD made this announcement on March 12, 2024. Preface: Spectre variant 1 attacks take advantage of speculative execution of conditional branches, while Spectre variant 2 attacks use speculative execution of indirect branches to leak privileged memory. Background: Speculative execution improves speed by operating on multiple instructions at once—possibly in a different order than when they…

CVE-2023-39368 was published on 13th March 2024. In fact, Intel solve this problem since the end of 2020. Maybe hesitant about this design weakness. So it wasn’t announced until this month. Preface: What is Intel E core? While P cores are focused on delivering peak performance for intensive workloads, E cores ensure that the system…

Preface: What is declarative machine learning? Declarative machine learning enables users to specify what they want, and let the software figure out how to do it. Declarative ML is similar to AutoML tools that also make default selections and automate part or all of the ML lifecycle. Background: JSONata is a JSON query and transformation…
