Intel Developing ASIC Accelerator for DARPA ‘Holy Grail’ Cybersecurity Project

Intel has joined the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Agency (DARPA) in a fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) program that takes aim at the “holy grail” of cybersecurity – protecting data during processing, when it is most vulnerable to attack. To date, FHE adoption has been slow because FHE methods on cryptograms is data-intensive and incurs a […]

Radio Free HPC Celebrates 251st Episode

In this podcast, the Radio Free HPC team celebrates their 251st episode. “Not enamored with round numbers, the team notes that 251 is a prime number and round enough for celebration. This is not quite a “highlights” show, but a look back at how RadioFreeHPC came about, who came up with the name RadioFreeHPC, how the show has evolved, a bit of “remember when”, a few notable episodes, and the meteoric rise of its listenership!”

Sandia Research Project turns Big Data into real-time, actionable intelligence

Researchers at Sandia National Labs are leading a project to deliver actionable information from streaming data to decision makers. While social media, cameras, sensors and more generate huge amounts of data that can overwhelm analysts, the project looks to provide crucial insight in real time. “Actionable intelligence is the next level of data analysis where analysis is put into use for near-real-time decision-making. Success on this research will have a strong impact to many time-critical national security applications.”

Podcast: FinTech and HPC-AI

In this podcast, the Radio Free HPC team looks back at the HPC-AI on Wall Street conference. “We discuss the well-received Cryptocurrency panel that he moderated, the challenges of using of AI in financial services, the emerging computational storage, and advanced HPC-class modeling that helps venture capital investors decide whether to invest in a startup.”

Cybersecurity and Risk Management for HPC

Henry Newman from Seagate Government Solutions gave this talk at the HPC User Forum in Santa Fe. “Cyber attacks and security breaches have become commonplace with explosion of data. More often than not, these breaches could have prevented or greatly reduced if these institutions would have followed prescribed security standards. As we move to the edge and go to 5G networks, there is going to be more distributed data and therefore protection is going to have to go out to the edge as well.”

Podcast: How Real is Ai Anyway?

In this podcast, the Radio Free HPC team discusses AI, bias in AI, and just how real AI actually is. “Ethics in AI, policy, legal framework are all big threads here. The trigger is the rather funny article from The Register: Artificial Intelligence, You Know it isn’t real, yeah?”
