In Hong Kong this summer, cloud native enthusiasts from across Asia and around the world will convene to move forward cloud native, open source, and AI technologies

HONG KONG, June 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Cloud Native Computing Foundation® (CNCF®), which builds sustainable ecosystems for cloud native software and Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation through open source, today announced the schedule for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon + Open Source Summit + AI_dev China. The conference will take place in Hong Kong from August 21 – 23, 2024, and will feature 145 sessions, including 20 maintainer track sessions.

For the first time, KubeCon + CloudNativeCon and Open Source Summit will join together with AI_dev: Open Source GenAI & ML Summit, which was previously held in San Jose, California last December, and will be held in Paris, France, 19-21 June.  AI_dev is a nexus for developers interested in delving into the intricate realm of open source generative AI and machine learning. At the heart of this event is the belief that open source is the engine of innovation in AI and also a necessary tool for creating security and balance around AI. Attendees will have the opportunity to join hands-on sessions, engage in robust technical conversations, and harness the collective expertise to push the boundaries of AI with open source.

Representatives from organizations from all over Asia including Ant Group, Alibaba Cloud, ByteDance, DaoCloud, OPPO, and more will cover the most pressing topics in cloud native innovation, open source development, and the intricate realm of generative AI and ML. Maintainers and end users of CNCF-hosted projects will give deep dives on the technologies and provide insights into the impact.

“The number of cloud native projects developed in China continues to grow and every year we look forward to this event to see first-hand the momentum across China,” said Chris Aniszczyk, CTO of the CNCF. “We are thrilled to partner once again with Open Source Summit and have AI_dev join the line-up this year to advance intricate and evolving conversations around AI and open source. Together, these three events cover so many important topics and I look forward to all the progress we will make as a community together this summer in China.”  

Led by co-chairs Paco Xu and Miley Fu, more than 55 members of the program committee reviewed 522 submissions to curate a relevant and educational line up. The schedule offers compelling content for attendees with all levels of technical background, and sessions will be presented in either English or Chinese; captioning will be available if translation is needed.

By

SHANGHAI, Sept. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — At HUAWEI CONNECT 2024, over 300 industry leaders, experts, and scholars gathered for the data center network session themed “Xinghe Intelligent Fabric, Powering the AI Era.” The event featured discussions on the evolution and technological advancements of data center networks. During the session, Arthur Wang, President of Data Center Network Domain at Huawei’s Data Communication Product Line, introduced the newly upgraded Xinghe Intelligent Fabric solution. This cutting-edge solution aims to establish a data center network characterized by one map for intelligent operations and maintenance (O&M), one network for diverse computing, and one platform for simplified deployment, providing a robust network infrastructure to support enterprises’ digital and intelligent transformations.

In his keynote speech, Arthur Wang outlined the emerging trends in data center network development. He emphasized that in the AI era, data center networks require both a “brilliant brain” and “resilient bones.” The newly launched Xinghe Intelligent Fabric solution is designed to deliver a powerful network infrastructure tailored for the AI era, featuring:

One Map for Intelligent O&M: Zero Management Concerns

Huawei’s exclusive network digital map enables rapid cross-data center and cross-vendor fault identification within minutes. Additionally, the NetMaster network large model facilitates AI-driven O&M, eliminating manual intervention and ensuring zero management concerns.

One Network for Diverse Computing: Zero Service Interruptions

The Xinghe Intelligent Fabric supports various application scenarios, including intelligent computing, general-purpose computing, and storage. The innovative Network Scale Load Balancing (NSLB) algorithm increases network throughput to 95% and boosts AI training efficiency by over 10%. With the exclusive iReliable three-level fast switchover capability, it achieves sub-millisecond switchover, guaranteeing zero service interruptions.

One Platform for Simplified Deployment: Zero Configuration Errors

By employing digital twins to simulate networks in advance and verify configurations post-deployment, the solution ensures 100% accuracy in network changes. By harnessing network-security convergence capabilities, AI creates an intelligent security matrix to analyze millions of security policies, achieving zero configuration errors.

Looking ahead, Huawei will continue to collaborate with industry partners to enhance research and innovation in data center networks, promote intelligent upgrades, and create greater value for the industry.

Cultivating a Culture of Peace: International Day of Peace Statement by Education Cannot Wait Executive Director Yasmine Sherif

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2024 /CNW/ — The longing for peace transcends time, geography and religion. Based on justice, human rights and universal values outlined in the UN Charter, a culture of peace brings us all together in our common agenda for humanity. We can only co-exist by aligning ourselves with such a world order.

On today’s International Day of Peace, we call on world leaders to end conflict and embrace a culture of peace as enshrined in the UN Charter and related international law.

As the UN General Assembly outlined in the Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace  a quarter of a century ago, this must include: “Respect for life, human rights and fundamental freedoms; the promotion of non-violence through education, dialogue and cooperation; commitment to peaceful settlement of conflicts; and adherence to freedom, justice, democracy, tolerance, solidarity, cooperation, pluralism, cultural diversity, dialogue and understanding at all levels of society and among nations.”

Educating for peace starts at home and continues in school through years of education. This takes place during the most formative years of a child learning about their identity, ethics, values, conscience, courage and compassion. Wherever there has been a failure in imparting on children the imperative for peace, the world is turned upside down. This is a global failure with no geographical boundaries.

Today, we live in a world of unprecedented violence, armed conflict and chaos. All the genuine and heartfelt commitments made in 1945 in the UN Charter seem to be fading away. Children and adolescents are the most vulnerable, the least protected, and the most impacted. They bear the brunt. 

Global conflicts killed three times as many children in 2023 than in the previous year, according to the United Nations. The number of forcibly displaced people reached an unprecedented 120 million in May 2024.

“In 2023, the United Nations verified a record 32,990 grave violations against 22,557 children in 26 conflict zones, a 35% increase from the previous year,” according to recent analysis by the UN.

We can end these violations and invest in a constructive co-existence globally. We can use our resources for education, rather than for wars. In classrooms around the world, girls and boys who have withstood the wrath of war can rebuild their hopes and their lives. Cultivating a culture of peace is possible. The financial resources exist. The choice as to how we use them is ours.
