…predictive analytics platform, says Kauzlick. Fortunately, analytics platforms from Microsoft and others are getting easier for organizations to use without having teams of programmers working on a solution for months. Kauzlick says that his team often leverages Microsoft’s predictive analytics platform. “These platforms are absolutely lowering the barrier of entry for the analytics side of IoT,” he adds. “They allow an organization to create a data set that is trusted, and that you can then easily reach into for analytics.” Blockchain momentum When it comes to all of the details involved in moving goods across borders and recording changes to…

…to allow their solutions to run simulations on the Microsoft Azure Big Compute platform. The Fortissimo Project At the end of 2019, the European Commission wrapped up its Fortissimo Project, which was launched to encourage the use of advanced modeling and simulation by providing small and medium enterprises (SMEs) access to cloud-based HPC resources. The experiments conducted in the early phases of the project resulted in 79 success stories and case studies that demonstrated how the use of cloud-based HPC could improve the value chain. The project was primarily targeted at cloud-based simulation, a number of additive manufacturing use cases…

…easily submit jobs to secure high-performance compute infrastructure on Microsoft Azure. The launch of Distributed Compute Services (DCS), a new family of applications, enables users to distribute, manage and solve simulations on a variety of compute resources. DCS empowers users to more effectively use compute resources across operating systems, networks and locations. In the Fluids suite, ANSYS Fluent has a new user experience that enables engineers to complete more computational fluid dynamics simulations in less time and with less training. Additionally, in ANSYS 2019 R3, a new automated workflow speeds the ANSYS Fluent adjoint solver so users can easily find…

The Role of AI in the World Microsoft Corp. and OpenAI, two companies thinking deeply about the role of AI in the world and how to build secure, trustworthy and ethical AI to serve the public, have partnered to further extend Microsoft Azure’s capabilities in large-scale AI systems. OpenAI was founded in late 2015 by Elon Musk and Sam Altman who were motivated in part by concerns about existential risk from artificial general intelligence. Through this new partnership, the companies will accelerate breakthroughs in AI and power OpenAI’s efforts to create artificial general intelligence (AGI). The resulting enhancements to the…

…or on clouds such as Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. MATLAB Parallel Server offers access to cluster resources through the familiar MATLAB environment, provides the ability to run on multiple machines without algorithm changes, and helps to access cloud clusters or local high-performance computing (HPC) resources. Expanded access also offers flexibility in working with academic researchers, students, and faculty from other institutions by offering them access to MATLAB and Simulink. Now these academicians can access MATLAB on authorized campus machines and university HPC clusters for their non-commercial work. This helps to support collaborative research projects across institutions and provides…

…backdrop. The use of AI has already crept into average consumer tech, evident in iPhone's personal assistant Siri and Microsoft's Cortana, and in Google's autocompletion of user sentences. NVIDIA's betting it will become part of enterprise workflow, largely driven by the parallel-processing power of the GPU. The acquisition, new products, and featured speakers at the NVIDIA's GTC reinforces this belief. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang introduces the JETSON Nano, a $99 AI computer for the maker community.

…infrastructure industry, beating out market pillars, like IBM and Microsoft. According to AWS CEO, Andy Jassy, AWS was born from out of internal needs. Then they realized they could develop it into a real service company. AWS was the first cloud infrastructure as a service, and competitors like Microsoft, IBM, and Google took years to respond. This is what allowed Amazon to capture the market share. They created a service in response to internal needs. Then they began to look at the problem differently, and AWS came into the world. Amazon’s Current Logistic’s Fleet Amazon’s current transportation fleet is impressive…
