AWS is enabling innovations in areas such as healthcare, automotive, life sciences, retail, media, energy, robotics that it is mind boggling and humbling. In the past analytics within an organization was the pinnacle of old style IT: a centralized data warehouse running on specialized hardware. Cloud enables self-service analytics.

This is the first post in a series of posts on different approaches to systems security especially as they apply to hardware and architectural security. The class of techniques described in this blog post, which we broadly refer to as applied hardware and architecture cryptography, apply proven cryptographic techniques to strengthen systems.

The opening paragraph above is the same as my previous discussion focused on hardware, software and operational failure modes , but we are now in the middle of a pandemic, so I’m going to adapt the discussion of hazards and failure modes to our current situation.

copyconstruct : "GPUs will increase 1000× in performance by 2025, whereas Moore’s law for CPUs essentially is dead. By replacing branch-heavy algorithms with neural networks, the DBMS can profit from these hardware trends.". Explain the Cloud Like I'm 10 (34 almost 5 star reviews). I still hate it but UGH OKAY FINE I guess.

Looking beyond distributed caching, it’s their ability to perform data-parallel analysis that gives IMDGs such exciting capabilities. Offloading the database boosts performance, reduces bottlenecks, and lowers costs. That’s where performance problems can begin.

Looking back over the past 10 years, there are hundreds of lessons that we’ve learned about building and operating services that need to be secure, reliable, scalable, with predictable performance at the lowest possible cost. This is a given, whether you are using the highest quality hardware or lowest cost components.

That pricing won’t be sustainable, particularly as hardware shortages drive up the cost of building infrastructure. These models are typically smaller (7 to 14 billion parameters) and easier to fine-tune, and they can run on very limited hardware; many can run on laptops, cell phones, or nanocomputers such as the Raspberry Pi.

As a trend, it’s not performing well on Google; it shows little long-term growth, if any, and gets nowhere near as many searches as terms like “Observability” and “Generative Adversarial Networks.” We’ll see it in healthcare. Office staff usually perform tasks like invoice processing by filling in a web form. Should it be?
