- I Hate to Tell You This: Your Server Closet is Very Ill
- One of the most challenging illnesses hospitals face today isn’t in the ICU or the OR — it’s in a closet. Server Closet Sclerosis (SCS) is a silent epidemic that hides in plain sight threatening the competitive health of care networks everywhere. Fortunately, a novel treatment using edge computing technology promises to realize operational and...

- By Clifton Roberts, Global Director, Cloud and Data Policy Times are changing. In the past, the notion of government data being released to the public was not only antithetical to U.S. government policy, but was illegal. Today, we are witnessing a significant shift in the government’s view on the matter. Aligned with Intel’s position that...
read more - Digital Transformation: The View from the Trenches
- When you hear the words Digital Transformation, it’s tempting to view it as a strategy developed and deployed from the highest levels of an organization but digital transformation impacts people at different levels of an organization in different ways. I have a unique perspective on digital transformation formed by my day job working for the...

- Over the past few years, Intel has done remarkable work in optimizing the TensorFlow* deep learning framework on Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors. Training/inference performance benchmarks are usually measured with synthetic data. In the real world, however, data scientists use real data to train deep learning models and predict the results. Data preprocessing performance is also...

- Inference in AI is the process of evaluating a trained neural network model on-real world samples to gain useful information. Inference is used in all AI application domains – object detection, image classification and segmentation, speech recognition, machine translation, and others. Recent studies show that the demand for inference requests in data centers and cloud-based...
