GitHub launched the first beta version of a new feature for searching and fixing bugs and other vulnerabilities in the code that combines the features of the Copilot assistant and CodeQL semantic analysis engine.
Developing any kind of web project suggests a whole checklist of measures the purpose of which is to ensure that your project will succeed. A vital part of this is security management. In today's article, we want to have a look at some indispensable approaches that will significantly contribute to the overall integrity of your projects and hence their eventual success.
​Hyperconverged is a framework that is responsible for unifying software, storage, networking, and computing in one system. The necessity of such unification lies in higher scalability and minimization of the data center complexity. This type of architecture virtualizes and integrates these resources into a system.
At the Beijing Innovation Summit, AMD introduced the new Ryzen Hawk Point 8040 series processors and shared plans for Strix Point chips.
AMD CEO Lisa Su spoke in detail about the 8040 series Ryzen Hawk Point processors and then moved on to a Next-Gen AMD Ryzen project called Strix Point.
Nvidia has reported plans to sell an accelerator with Blackwell GPU that will be ideal for AI. The approximate price of the accelerator will range from $30 to 40 thousand. However, this is not yet the final decision regarding future sales, mainly because the company plans to sell a stack of processing components.
At the GTC March 20224 event, NVIDIA presented a new chip architecture Blackwell as well as B200 GPUs based on it together with Grace Blackwell GB200 chips where both architectures will be combined.
The B200 GPU has 208 billion transistors compared to 80 billion H100/H200, previously used in data centers, offering 20 petaflops of AI performance per single GPU (VS. 4 petaflops of H100). Such a chip will feature 192 GB HBM3e memory with up to 8 TBps of bandwidth.v
​Web stack is a collection of various open-source soft such as programming language of the server side, operating system, database server, and web server. The most widely used stack is called LAMP. This name is a shortening for Linux, Apache server, MySQL, and PHP (in some cases it might be Python or Perl). For security reasons, the best variant is to run various network services on separate virtual machines or systems. With such a system, that is obvious that potential attackers cannot crack lots of services.
​A firewall is an essential element of security for any system connected to the web. It is responsible for filtering the traffic, allowing the necessary traffic while blocking the unrelated and potentially harmful.
Last year, the frequency of Intel's desktop processor was 6.0 GHz. This year, these figures were significantly increased, and a new record was set. A new Core i9-14900KS processor with a frequency of 6.2 GHz was released, which means that at the moment it is the highest possible frequency for desktop PCs.
AMD announced a new release – a new Spartan UltraScale+ FGPA line, the successor of Spartan 6 and Spartan 7. The new Field Programmable Gate Arrays are distinguishable with high energy efficiency and affordable price, which is made possible due to the higher density provided by the 16-nanometer manufacturing process.
