Researchers in Hong Kong have developed ReAAP, a reconfigurable processor for enhancing deep learning. This integrated software-hardware system outperforms other compilers on Nvidia GPUs and ARM CPUs, achieving faster speeds. However, it's not ideal for sparse data and aims to improve efficiency with quantized data for IoT devices.
Generative AI powered by large language models won't immediately replace human programmers. To thrive in this changing landscape, developers should: Focus on fundamentals: Core programming skills and problem-solving remain essential. Embrace creativity: Developers offer unique problem-solving abilities that AI lacks. Avoid comparing themselves to AI: AI is a statistical output, while developers bring creativity and a deeper understanding of code.
IEEE is preparing for the future by becoming more adaptable and flexible. It foresees a shift in membership diversity and interdisciplinary focus. IEEE plans to evolve its products and services with practical applications and explore AI-driven education. Standards development remains crucial but needs to adapt to fast-paced technology changes. New funding models like subscriptions and corporate partnerships are considered. Multiple subgroups are implementing these changes to prepare IEEE for 2050 and beyond.
IEEE organized a two-day workshop at SOA Deemed to be University, focusing on the practical applications of remote sensing, including predicting extreme weather events in India. Topics covered sustainable earth observations, remote sensing image spectroscopy, and radar remote sensing. Expert-led sessions involved around 40 participants, fostering discussions and idea exchange. Prof. Pradipta Kumar Nanda, Vice-Chancellor of SOA, and Prof. Tripti Swarnkar were key figures in organizing the event.
India's Chandrayaan-3 mission achieved a successful lunar landing, making India the fourth country to do so. The landing site, near potential water ice deposits, holds promise for future lunar exploration. Chandrayaan-3 primarily aimed to demonstrate landing technology, with scientific experiments being secondary. This underlines India's technological prowess and status as a leader of the Global South. Future lunar missions, including one by India and Japan (LUPEX), aim to explore permanently shadowed regions for potential ice deposits.
LiFi firms pureLiFi and Fraunhofer HHI welcome IEEE 802.11bb as a significant light communications standard. LiFi offers faster, more secure wireless communication using light. The standard sets a framework for LiFi deployment and interoperability with WiFi. IEEE 802.11bb paves the way for LiFi's market entry, offering speed, security, and reliability. Fraunhofer HHI emphasizes LiFi's potential in areas with limited RF and its role as a WiFi and 5G complement.
