New Relic furthers commitment to open source by integrating Pixie Open Source in expanded collaboration with AWS

SAN FRANCISCO May 4, 2021 New Relic, Inc. (NYSE: NEWR), the observability company, today announced it has joined the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Governing Board as a platinum member. New Relic supports CNCFs mission of making cloud-native computing ubiquitous by providing governance, thought leadership, and engineering resources to shape and influence the direction of the cloud-native ecosystem. As part of this mission, as well as New Relics commitment to making observability open for everyone, New Relic is in the process of contributing Pixie, its Kubernetes-native in-cluster observability platform, as a new open source project to CNCF under Apache 2.0 license. Zain Asgar, GM of Pixie and New Relic Open Source, and CEO and co-founder of Pixie Labs (acquired by New Relic in December 2020), has joined the CNCF Governing Board and will participate in a keynote address at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2021. New Relic will also expand its existing relationship with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to provide its Pixie observability solution on AWS.

Open source is a defining value for New Relic and Pixie, which is why we are standardizing our observability offerings with OpenTelemetry and are in the process of contributing Pixie as an open source project to CNCF, said Zain Asgar, GM of Pixie and New Relic Open Source at New Relic, and CEO and co-founder of Pixie Labs. We have seen the positive impact of open governance on open source projects first-hand, and we look forward to supporting this initiative on an industry-wide level through our Platinum membership in CNCF.

Pixie Open Source

Pixie, the next-generation observability platform for cloud-native applications, enables developers to see all of their applications metrics, events, logs, and traces with a single CLI command. Pixies technology removes the need to add instrumentation code, set up ad hoc dashboards, or move data off of the cluster, saving developers valuable time so they can focus instead on building better software. The open sourcing of Pixie represents a significant investment in the community, and a majority of Pixies engineering resources have been dedicated to the effort.

The cloud native community is the fastest growing open source community in the world. Our mission in CNCF is to go further and make cloud native computing ubiquitous, said Priyanka Sharma, General Manager at the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. We are pleased to welcome New Relic as a Platinum member, and to add Zain Asgar to our board. Zain and New Relics commitment to furthering our mission and supporting our community will go a long way. We look forward to their nuanced expertise and perspective on observability in particular.

Pixie on AWS

Pixie Open Source will now run on AWS as an expansion of the recent collaboration with New Relic on AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry as a secure, production-ready, AWS-Supported distribution of the OpenTelemetry project. Pixie Open Source on AWS aims to improve customer experience and make it easier for users to monitor the health and performance of their AWS container applications. In addition, Jaana Dogan, Principal Engineer at AWS, will join the Pixie open source governance board.

Mark Carter, General Manager, Observability Services, AWS said, With eBPF, a new instrumentation capability in Linux that is supported by the Pixie Platform, developers and operators can take advantage of a new observability superpower. Pixies no-instrumentation data collection capability together with OpenTelemetry protocol support in New Relic is a great example of invent and simplify on behalf of our customers and positions New Relic as an innovation leader. We are excited to collaborate with New Relic to extend the power of Pixie to the wider CNCF community.

New Relics Commitment to Open Source

As part of its commitment to the CNCF community, open source, and open standards, New Relic will standardize its observability offerings with CNCFs OpenTelemetry standards. New Relics native OpenTelemetry protocol (OTLP) support and curated user experiences will allow customers to use this new standard of instrumentation to understand, troubleshoot, and optimize their systems. New Relic has also open sourced more than 10 years of R&D in agents, integrations, SDKs, CLIs and custom visualizations in its New Relic One catalog, making it easier for engineers to access and build custom instrumentation. New Relic is also a founding member of Eclipse Adoptium, a leading provider of fully compatible, high-quality distributions of Java runtimes based on OpenJDK source codes.

For developers who need instant visibility into their cloud-native applications without any instrumentation, New Relic is making Pixie Open Source generally available to all customers globally on May 4, 2021, to coincide with the first day of KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2021.

The Western Europe and Nordic data center market by investment is expected to grow at a CAGR of approx. 4% during the period 20202026 – GlobeNewswire

May 5, 2021 | Author: admin

New York, May 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Western Europe and Nordic Data Center Market - Industry Outlook and Forecast 2021-2026" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06068335/?utm_source=GNW 4% during the period 20202026.

The market witnessed supply chain-related challenges in Q1 and Q2 2020 for both IT infrastructure and support infrastructure providers. However, these recovered in Q3 2020. The market growth was aided by previously announced projects and expansions of facilities in a few locations where data centers were deemed essential services. A majority of the demand for data center services is contributed by cloud-based service providers.

The following factors are likely to contribute to the growth of western Europe and Nordic data center market during the forecast period: 5G boosting Edge Data Center Investments Growing Procurement of Renewable Energy Innovative UPS Battery Technology Increased Adoption of 200/400 GBE Switch Ports

The study considers the present scenario of Western Europe and Nordic data center market and its market dynamics for the period 2020?2026. It covers a detailed overview of several market growth enablers, restraints, and trends. The report offers both the demand and supply aspects of the market. It profiles and examines leading companies and other prominent ones operating in the market.

Western Europe And Nordic Data Center Market Segmentation The Western Europe and Nordic data center market research report includes a detailed segmentation by IT infrastructure, electrical infrastructure, mechanical infrastructure, cooling technique, cooling systems, general construction, tier standards, geography. In 2020, the IT infrastructure adoption among newly established and existing data centers grew significantly. Germany is the leading market in the IT infrastructure spending, followed by the UK, the Netherlands, France, and Ireland. The emergence of software-defined architectures and converged infrastructure expects to drive the IT infrastructure solutions market in Western Europe. Similarly, the increasing adoption of cloud computing services in the Nordic region leads to increased procurement of IT infrastructure components. Finland, Sweden, and Denmark are the leading contributors to cloud adoption, with 50% of enterprises using cloud computing services.

Several Western Europe facilities have adopted flexible designs to facilitate dual power feeds, 2N redundant UPS and PDU systems, and N+1 generators. The growth of lithium-ion UPS systems is aided by benefits such as reducing the OPEX through lower maintenance costs and decreasing UPS battery failure chances. Vendors are continuously coming out with innovative UPS solutions to boost efficiency and reduce cost. The construction of large and mega data center facilities in Western Europe and Nordics is likely to aid the generators market. DRUPS solutions are likely to witness high demand among data centers, with multiple modules having the capacity of up to 2 MW in N+N redundant configurations.

Several Western Europe data centers support free cooling systems that include adiabatic coolers, evaporative coolers, and free cooling chiller systems. Water-based cooling includes water-treatment plants and systems that can aid water consumption by up to 20%. Most operators procure 45U52U rack cabinets. The procurement of 42U racks is declining in the market.

Western Europe is the most active market for data center construction in Europe. The increase in data center demand has increased revenue opportunities for contractors and sub-contractors in the industry. A significant data center construction in the region is managed by Europe-based construction service providers, including architects and engineering firms. However, the non-availability of skilled workforce to handle multiple hyperscale projects is a major challenge for several contractors in the region. Hyperscale data center development will be a major boost for contractors and sub-contractors operating in the Nordic region. Most hyperscale projects are built in collaboration with global data center construction contractors and sub-contractors.

Western Europe and Nordic data center market size by tier standards is expected to reach approx. USD 12 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of over 5%. There are 112 Tier III certified facilities in Western Europe and Nordic region, with the UK, Spain, Italy, and Lithuania leading the list. Most new data centers are designed to be of Tier III standards with a minimum of N+1 redundancy. The European region hosts around 50 facilities that are Tier IV certified facilities. Denmark, France, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, and the UK have several Tier IV facilities. These facilities are equipped with at least 2N+1 redundancy in the infrastructure that makes the facility fault-tolerant, with UPS systems and PDUs having 2N+2 redundancy. Facebook, Apple, Google, and Microsoft are major hyperscale developers.

Jordan Peterson to Tucker Carlson: Do you want the truth on your side, or do you want to hide behind falsehood – Fox News

May 5, 2021 | Author: admin

Canadian clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson examines the deeper meaning of life and how to live it in a new episode of Fox Nations "Tucker Carlson Today."

In his new book "Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life," Peterson breaks down some of these rules for living to the fullest and pressed that making the decisionto be honest is an essential practice.

"Whatever happens as a consequence of telling the truth is the best thing that can happen," he said. "It doesnt really matter how it looks to you at the moment, or maybe even across the years. Its an article of faith, in some sense."

CANADIAN CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST TELLS TUCKER WHY HE BELIEVES AMERICANS ARE RESILIENT

Peterson posed the question:Isreality better constituted as a consequence of truth or falsity?If it is a consequence of truth, he explained, then being honest really is the best decision.

"This is what happened because I said what I had to say as clearly as I could say it," he said. "And thats as good as it could be Its good compared to all possible, realistic alternatives."

In religion, Peterson proposed, telling the truth is a divine attribute as well as a "fundamental presupposition of our culture." And people who believe in these standards must act them out.

"Youre going to take the consequences one way or another," he said. "So, you want the truth on your side? Or do you want to hide behind falsehoods?"

New episodes of "Tucker Carlson Today" are available every Monday, Wednesday and Friday exclusively on Fox Nation. Join Fox Nation today to watch Tucker's full interview with Scott Yenor and other great episodes.

Researchers confront major hurdle in quantum computing – University of Rochester

May 5, 2021 | Author: admin

May 4, 2021

Quantum science has the potential to revolutionize modern technology with more efficient computers, communication, and sensing devices. But challenges remain in achieving these technological goals, especially when it comes to effectively transferring information in quantum systems.

A regular computer consists of billions of transistors, called bits. Quantum computers, on the other hand, are based on quantum bits, also known as qubits, which can be made from a single electron.

Unlike ordinary transistors, which can be either 0 (off) or 1 (on), qubits can be both 0 and 1 at the same time. The ability of individual qubits to occupy these so-called superposition states, where they are in multiple states simultaneously, underlies the great potential of quantum computers. Just like ordinary computers, however, quantum computers need a way to transfer quantum information between distant qubitsand that presents a major experimental challenge.

In a series of papers published in Nature Communications, researchers at the University of Rochester, including John Nichol, an assistant professor of physics and astronomy, and graduate students Yadav Kandel and Haifeng Qiao, the lead authors of the papers, report major strides in enhancing quantum computing by improving the transfer of information between electrons in quantum systems.

In one paper, the researchers demonstrated a route of transferring information between qubits, called adiabatic quantum state transfer (AQT), for the first time with electron-spin qubits. Unlike most methods of transferring information between qubits, which rely on carefully tuned electric or magnetic-field pulses, AQT isnt as affected by pulse errors and noise.

To envision how AQT works, imagine you are driving your car and want to park it. If you dont hit your brakes at the proper time, the car wont be where you want it, with potential negative consequences. In this sense, the control pulsesthe gas and brake pedalsto the car must be tuned carefully. AQT is different in that it doesnt really matter how long you press the pedals or how hard you press them: the car will always end up in the right spot. As a result, AQT has the potential to improve the transfer of information between qubits, which is essential for quantum networking and error correction.

The researchers demonstrated AQTs effectiveness by exploiting entanglementone of the basic concepts of quantum physics in which the properties of one particle affect the properties of another, even when the particles are separated by a large distance. The researchers were able to use AQT to transfer one electrons quantum spin state across a chain of four electrons in semiconductor quantum dotstiny, nanoscale semiconductors with remarkable properties. This is the longest chain over which a spin state has ever been transferred, tying the record set by the researchers in a previous Nature paper.

Because AQT is robust against pulse errors and noise, and because of its major potential applications in quantum computing, this demonstration is a key milestone for quantum computing with spin qubits, Nichol says.

In a second paper, the researchers demonstrated another technique of transferring information between qubits, using an exotic state of matter called time crystals. A time crystal is a strange state of matter in which interactions between the particles that make up the crystal can stabilize oscillations of the system in time indefinitely. Imagine a clock that keeps ticking forever; the pendulum of the clock oscillates in time, much like the oscillating time crystal.

By implementing a series of electric-field pulses on electrons, the researchers were able to create a state similar to a time crystal. They found that they could then exploit this state to improve the transfer of an electrons spin state in a chain of semiconductor quantum dots.

Our work takes the first steps toward showing how strange and exotic states of matter, like time crystals, can potentially by used for quantum information processing applications, such as transferring information between qubits, Nichol says. We also theoretically show how this scenario can implement other single- and multi-qubit operations that could be used to improve the performance of quantum computers.

Both AQT and time crystals, while different, could be used simultaneously with quantum computing systems to improve performance.

These two results illustrate the strange and interesting ways that quantum physics allows for information to be sent from one place to another, which is one of the main challenges in constructing viable quantum computers and networks, Nichol says.

Everything you need to know to land a job in data science – ZDNet

May 5, 2021 | Author: admin

TikTok, the CIA, Yeti Coolers and AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals are all looking for data scientists. Salaries for data scientists range from $50,000 to more than $150,00, and companies want full-time data wizards as well as data engineers who will work on contract.

What does it take to get hired? Organizations are looking for job candidates with a bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, as well as experience with data modeling tools, XML, Python, Java, SQL, AWS and Hadoop.

SEE: Research: BI and data analytics usage up; but companies lack skills needed to take full advantage of tools (TechRepublic Premium)

Many data scientist job descriptions also mention the ability to work with a distributed and fast-moving team. Interpreting data for colleagues in business units is increasingly important as well.

Ryan Boyd, head of developer relations at Databricks, said that data science will soon be a commonplace skill outside engineering and IT departments as data becomes increasingly fundamental to businesses.

"To stay competitive, data scientists need to be equally as obsessed with data storytelling as they are with the minutiae of data software and programs," said Boyd. "Tomorrow's best data scientists will be expected to translate their know-how into actionable insights and compelling stories for different stakeholders across the business, from C-suite executives to product managers."

Whether you are looking for your first data science job or figuring out your next career move in the field, the following advice from hiring managers and data science professionals will help you plot a smart and successful course.

SEE: How to become a data scientist: A cheat sheet (TechRepublic)

Anand Karasi, founder of Budgets.ai, said that behind every good data scientist there is often a team of very good data engineers.

"In most projects, more than 80% of the work involved is data engineering," Karasi said. "It's critical that the data is very accurate and clean, otherwise the models will be inaccurate in their predictions."

Karasi said that data scientists at Budgets.ai scan the web and use AI to compute corporate budget spend on AI/ML projects. In the last year, the company increased its spend on speech recognition (68%), video surveillance (69%), transfer learning (99%) and recommenders (122%).

On Dice, there are many more postings for data engineer jobs compared to data scientists -- 1,997 versus 346. Companies are also looking for data architects, predictive modelers, data storytellers, business intelligence developers, and machine learning experts. Managing and analyzing data is a team effort, as these varied roles show.

Jen Hsin, head of data science at SetSail, an AI-powered sales platform, said that data science teams can have diverse areas of responsibility. She describes these roles:

Hsin said it's easy to see why preparing for a data science career can be intimidating.

"Being a generalist who can cover several specialties can make one a more efficient data scientist," she said.

She suggested identifying one or two areas that have the biggest overlap with work experience and personal interests to create 'starter' profiles.

"When job searching, read through the job description carefully to identify if the roles and responsibilities are a good match," Hsin said. "Meanwhile, continuously grow your skillset, before landing a job as well as on the job."

Alicia Frame, director of Graph Data Science at Neo4j, said that the best resumes don't necessarily come from people with doctorate degrees in computer science from Stanford.

"They come from people who can show that they've identified and solved problems and can clearly communicate their impact at a high level," she said.

Frame also looks for experience in mentoring, teaching, and supervising and recommended that job candidates add a publications section on their resumes. This should highlight peer-reviewed journal articles, non-peer-reviewed articles, blog posts, presentations and media mentions.

Boyd recommended that people looking for data science jobs should highlight the ability to make data understandable and actionable, and focus on telling a story about a data set and what it means in the bigger picture.

"Explore different mediums like Powerpoint or interactive reports to do so, hitting key points that will move your audience to action," he said. "Data storytelling makes new information easily accessible and actionable, and your organization will benefit from it."

Experience with data visualization tools like Redash makes for a great addition to a resume, Boyd said.

SEE: Top 5 programming languages for data scientist to learn (free PDF) (TechRepublic)

Frame said she receives hundreds of resumes featuring the same five class projects that everyone seems to work on for a master's degree in data science.

"I don't interview those candidates -- I look for people who've taken the initiative in whatever role they have," she said. "People who know how to shape and execute projects, communicate to stakeholders, and explain why the work they've done matters."

She suggested that job seekers ignore online credentials such as MOOCs and Kaggle competitions.

"Instead, I recommend you look for opportunities to take on data science projects and tasks in the role you currently hold," she said. "Data science is all around us, so finding those interesting projects within your current work can go a long way."

Karasi said that tools available for data scientists are exploding and that fairly good models can be developed by software engineers by using out-of-the-box tools like AutoML from Google.

"Microsoft, Google and Amazon offer great tools that leverage the cloud infrastructure, and getting trained on these offerings and getting a certification is recommended," he said.

Frame also noted that networking and building relationships with colleagues is a key element of building a successful career path.

"I know I can call on a colleague from 10 years ago, and they'll help me answer a question, or put me in touch with someone who can, and I think everyone who works with me knows that I would do the same for them," she said. "Caring about relationships creates the trust and respect that is often missing in the workplace and beyond."

‘There are so many hurdles.’ Indian scientists plead with government to unlock COVID-19 data – Science Magazine

May 5, 2021 | Author: admin

People wait in line to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in Mumbai, India, on 29 April.

By Priyanka PullaMay. 4, 2021 , 12:10 PM

Reporting for this story was supported by a journalism grant from the Thakur Family Foundation, which has not influenced the contents of this report.

Indian researchers say they urgently need better access to data collected by government agencies to help them understand and fight the countrys devastating second pandemic wave. An open letter published on 29 April that has 740 signatories so far asks the government for access to databases on COVID-19 testing and genomic sequencing and urges it to remove other obstacles to research.

There are currently so many hurdles and so much paperwork around accessing these data, says Partha Pratim Majumder, a genetic epidemiologist at the National Institute of Biomedical Genomics in West Bengal and one of letters signers.

The Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India, K. VijayRaghavan, released a note the next day acknowledging the problems and promising to increase access. Our broader research community needs to be much more facilitated by our research agencies, the letter said. But some scientists are skeptical that the situation will improve quickly; the note was low on details and previous requests for data from government agencies have often gone unanswered, they say. Why the Indian government is so reticent to share data is unclear.

The government has collected detailed data on some aspects of the pandemic. For example, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), the countrys top medical research agency, captures demographic details such as age, location, and health status of everyone who submits a sample for a COVID-19 test. The data could help answer key questions, such as whether people with certain concurrent illnesses are more likely to have worse outcomes and whether vaccines are working, says Gagandeep Kang, a public health microbiologist at the Christian Medical College, Vellore, who also signed the letter. Lots of people want to know, for instance, what mortality is by location, and whether it differs between rural and urban areas, she says. This speaks to the kind of care people are getting.

But so far, scientists say, ICMR and other government agencies have dragged their feet on responding to requests for access. That has forced several groups building computer models of the epidemic to rely on public domain data, which are aggregated by state but lack granular details such as breakdowns by district, age, or gender, says L. S. Shashidhara, a developmental biologist at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune. Even modeling groups advising the Indian government on its COVID-19 response policy often dont have these data, Shashidhara says.

Scientists also want access to more viral genome sequences generated by the Indian SARS-CoV-2 Consortium on Genomics (INSACOG). Established in December 2020, the consortiums stated goal is to sequence 5% of all new SARS-CoV-2 cases in the country, which is important to keep up with the spread of new virus variants. INSACOG has had a slow start, with just over 15,000 samples sequenced by late April, out of about 5.9 million new cases India has seen since January. And just 6200 sequencesfewer than halfhave been deposited in GISAID, an international database, during this period.

In February, INSACOG identified a variant, later christened B.1.617, which was growing in frequency in Maharashtra at a time when that state was experiencing a massive outbreak. B.1.617 has spread to several other countries, including the United Kingdom and the United States. But INSACOG has yet to share its analyses of whether the variant is more transmissible or more virulent. We need multiple pairs of eyes need to look at this data, instead of just one, Majumder says.

The authors also ask the government to remove obstacles that prevent INSACOG from stepping up the sequencing pace. INSACOG scientists currently have to jump through several bureaucratic hoops to import reagents, plastics, and other key materials. The measures, designed to protect Indian industry, are ill-advised during the coronavirus surge, says Rakesh Mishra, a genomicist at Hyderabads Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology, one of 10 INSACOG labs. Its like taking a blanket away from a person in winter because the blanket is imported, he says.

The note released by VijayRaghavans office says government agencies will immediately highlight mechanisms of research access to already available datasets and put in place access to new datasets as they are formed. It also says the government will remove import bottlenecks and INSACOG will involve more teams in data analysis, bioinformatics, and decision-making.

Although some scientists welcomed the quick response, others say the letter is too little, too late. The note only says that government agencies will facilitate data access, Majumder says. The question is: when? Time is of the essence. And promises made in the past by important government functionaries have often not been fulfilled on time.
