Crypto markets experienced one of the biggest downfalls a few months ago. Most popular digital assets lost most of their value as millions of investors sold their tokens at the same time. The sudden influx of all kinds of tokens resulted in a massive sellout, which led to a huge price drop for most cryptocurrencies. The market started to rally, and after making much-needed changes, things are looking up for many blockchain projects. However, you must invest your money into the right crypto project to get the…

While still getting even better performance! — Neural Networks and Deep Learning Course: Part 17Original photo by MagicPattern on Unsplash, edited by authorIn the previous article, we created a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) classifier model to identify handwritten digits.We used two hidden layers with 256 neurons for the network architecture. Even with such a small network, we got 269,322 total parameters (weights and bias terms). The main reason for getting such a big number of parameters for the network is the large size…

Easy Python code compilation for blazingly fast applicationsLet’s speed up our code (image by Abed Ismail on Unsplash)Python is very easy to work with; clear syntax, the interpreter and duck-typing allow you to develop very quickly. There are some downsides though: if you don’t have to adhere to a strict syntax, then Python has to do some extra work to get your code to run, causing some functions e.g. to execute very slowly because it has to to all those checks again and again.Combine the ease and speed of developing with…

Scientists at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland have demonstrated an impressively speedy new 3D printing technology. The demo used photocurable resin and targeted intersecting light beams to solidify precisely chosen areas of resin. In their tests, the scientists found they could produce a sample figurine 30x faster than conventional additive 3D printing techniques.This method of 3D printing, using light to harden selective areas of resin, was first devised at EPFL about five years ago.…

The amount of data generated by people and machines has increased exponentially and this requires a steady increase of datacenter compute performance. To meet the requirements of next-generation datacenters, AMD last year set itself a goal to increase efficiency of its accelerated datacenter platforms used for artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads by 30 times by 2025 when compared to its 2020 platforms.  This week the company shared its progress, and it appears that AMD is advancing…
