Edge computing moves workloads from  centralized locations  to remote locations and it can provide faster response from AI applications.  Edge computing devices are getting deployed increasingly for monitoring and control of real world processes like people tracking, vehicle recognition, pollution monitoring etc.  The data collected at the devices gets transported to centralized cloud servers over data pipelines and are used to train machine learning models. Training models needs lot…

In chemistry, we have strong and weak ACIDs. There exists strong and weak BASEs also. In Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS), ACID stands for Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation and Durability. The volume of ACID transactions handled by RDBMS has undergone a big data transition with the evolution of mobile devices. SQL stands for Structered Query Language, but commonly refers to traditional RDBMS. RDBMS is not designed to be distributed and optimized for space, not for speed of access.… Continue

If you have learned temporal parallelism used to speed up CPU execution, you came across instruction pipelines aka pipeline processing. In pipeline processing, you will have many instructions in different stages of execution. The term "Data Pipeline" is a misnomer representing a high bandwidth communication channel used for data transportation between a source system and a destination. In certain cases the destination is called a sink. Pipelines by definition allow flow of a fluid…

IT professionals acquire AI expertise in a short time by attending couple of online courses. Once the courses are completed successfully, these new gen AI experts look for opportunities to hit problems with the newly acquired AI hammer. It is a challenge to identify problems that need AI for a solution. Majority of the problems seen as an AI problem can be solved easily by traditional statistical methods. But the IT child with new AI hammer in hand thinks that all problems in this…
