Research mentorships are the basic building block of productive industry-university relationships. We asked four mentors from around the globe to tell us about the challenges, rewards, and strategies of serving as a mentor. Linking a student’s research goals with the experience of a Red Hat software engineer is at the crux of the Red Hat […]
Data skipping and network performance improvement technologies prove their value in data-intensive applications.
Is there a way to gain the performance benefits of a unikernel without severing it from an existing general-purpose code base? Boston University professors, BU PhD students, and Red Hat engineers at the Red Hat Collaboratory at Boston University are getting close to finding the answer. A unikernel is a single bootable image consisting of […]
Timing attacks have been used successfully against a variety of popular encryption techniques, but they can be prevented with consistent use of constant-time code practice. Cryptography provides privacy for millions of people, whether by ensuring end-to-end encrypted messaging, securing more than ninety percent of the web behind HTTPS, or establishing trust behind the digital signatures […]
Machine learning has been driving research breakthroughs in many fields. Now there is an open source curriculum designed to help non-specialists build the skills they need to use it. Machine learning is an increasingly important competency in a growing number of fields. Biochemists are using it to create models for protein engineering. Economists are using […]
Exclusivity of resources is becoming obsolete. The Elastic Secure Infrastructure Project (ESI) provides a solution for sharing computing resources and getting the most from hardware investments. Using resources efficiently is an important goal for any organization. If those resources are computers, then theoretically that goal should be easily achievable, because machines don’t get tired and […]
Operations are attracting increased attention in the open source community, and the open source ethos is evolving to embrace it. The focus of open source was initially on the code. Over time, however, the health of communities creating that code and associated artifacts such as documentation has also become an open source issue. The approach […]
Is there a way to implement load balancing in multicluster environments that won’t increase resource usage? New research suggests the answer is yes. Multicloud providers and microservice-based applications across clouds are becoming increasingly popular. Organizations that use them enjoy the benefits of high availability, performance improvements, and cost effectiveness. However, as microservices communicate with each […]
Universities play a primary role in developing data skills, but traditional education alone can’t close the skills gap fast enough. The mismatch between the widespread need for strong data skills and the current workforce is an obstacle for nearly every sector of the economy, which means no single sector can solve it. Collaborative partnerships among […]
The competing demands of cost and performance make it challenging to optimize stream-processing applications. Current research is exploring new options. Extracting value from streams of events generated by sensors and software has become key to the success of many important classes of applications. However, writing streaming data applications is not easy. Developers are confronted with […]
