09/24/2024 - The job of building computer networks that train and run large AI models is becoming increasingly complicated because traditional network designs can’t operate at the higher speeds that the AI workloads require and need to be tuned to a variety of communication endpoints (such as CPUs, graphics processing units and AI accelerators) that have widely different characteristics, including data generation speeds. Moreover, AI workloads require advanced network monitoring capabilities to quickly diagnose and resolve performance bottlenecks.

08/04/2022 - It's hard to make changes to the software running on a computer network while it's in use—and that can make it harder to respond quickly to a cyberattack. The National Science Foundation has awarded a grant to computer scientists from Rice University, The University of Texas at Austin and the University of Washington to develop runtime programmable networks that can respond to real-time changes rapidly and without interruption of service.

03/03/2021 - When was the last time you changed out a battery in your house? Studies show that battery-powered devices are used substantially in modern times, Americans use nearly 3 billion batteries every year. Batteries are currently popular because they are able to make electric devices, such as flashlights and watches, portable. However, our usage of batteries extends further from just portable electronic devices.
