6, Nvidia launches HGX-2 supercomputing 2 petaflops per second
On May 30, 2018, Nvidia announced the launch of the first unified computing platform NVIDIA HGX-2 for both artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. Nvidia said that the platform can perform high-precision FP64 and FP32 operations for scientific calculations and simulations, and perform FP16 and Int8 operations for AI training and reasoning. The diversity of functions can meet the needs of more and more applications integrating HPC and AI.
The HGX-2 connects 16 NVIDIA Tesla V100 TensorCore GPUs to form a giant GPU that provides AI performance of 2 petaflops per second. With the ResNet-50 training benchmark, the HGX-2 set an AI training speed record of 15,500 images per second, which can replace up to 300 servers equipped with only a CPU. The official reference price of HGX-2 is 399,000 US dollars. Currently, the four leading server manufacturers of Lenovo, Wintek, AMD and Weiying Technology announced plans to bring their HGX-2-based systems to market later this year. In addition, Foxconn, Inventec, Quanta, and Wistron, the world's four largest original equipment manufacturers (ODMs), are designing systems based on the HGX-2, which are expected to be put into use in the second half of the year in several of the world's largest cloud data centers.
#Autopilot#
1. Apple’s unmanned car increased to 62 safety personnel to 87
According to reports from foreign media Macrumors, the number of unmanned vehicles that Apple has tested on roads in public roads in California has increased to 62, and the number of on-board safety officers has also increased to 87. Two weeks ago, this figure was 55 unmanned vehicles and 83 drivers. Each test vehicle that joins Apple’s driverless fleet is equipped with the company’s currently developing auto-driving software, as well as advanced LiDAR devices and a series of cameras that enable the scanning and analysis of the environment around the vehicle. In addition, when Apple obtained the license, it was clearly stated that it was necessary to arrange an on-board safety driver to allow the driverless vehicle to be tested on the road.
Since obtaining formal approval from the California State Department of Motor Vehicles in April 2017, Apple has been trying its best to expand its fleet of unmanned vehicles, seeking to obtain more comprehensive data samples in actual road driving tests. Last week, another overseas media revealed that Apple has signed an agreement with the Volkswagen Group. The two parties will jointly create a pilotless shuttle bus for the commuter use of Apple employees. This vehicle will be built based on the Volkswagen existing model T6Transporter.
2. Japan's automatic driving strategy: 30% new car up to L3 in 2030
According to the "Japan Economic News" reported on May 30, the media recently learned the draft of the growth strategy that the Japanese government will put together in June. According to the draft, the use of self-driving cars as a pillar will be promoted, and by 2020, the "Road Traffic Act" will be revised on the premise of manned driving. The Japanese government has set a goal that by 2030, auto-driving cars equivalent to "L3" operated by the driver only in emergency should reach more than 30% of the sales of new cars in Japan. Japan will pursue Europe, which is leading the development of autonomous driving rules, and strive to maintain the dominance of technology development.
Regarding the legislation that is the subject of autopilot, the draft clearly puts forward discussion time. One of the focuses is how to divide responsibility for accidents caused by self-driving cars. The Japanese government proposed in March that the responsibility for liability lies with the owner. In view of this, in 2018, criminal liability will be discussed. In 2018, Japan will also discuss the obligation to install the necessary driving data recording equipment for self-driving cars. In order to promote technological development, Japan will launch auto-driving road trip services in restricted areas by 2030 and strive to promote it to 100 locations nationwide by 2030.
3, the United States to take a taxi to rectify the new line inspection face recognition
On the afternoon of May 30th, the U.S. delegation called a taxi to announce the upgrade and rectification operations, and added three new mechanisms for offline inspection, face recognition and ad hoc inspection. According to reports, under the new mechanism, all newly registered vehicles and drivers in the Shanghai area will need to go to the offline examination site for verification. The system for on-line face recognition and comparison will be launched on May 30 to ensure that drivers and registrants are in agreement. In addition, the U.S. group taxi will launch a "probe inspection" mechanism in mid-June to randomly conduct inspections of vehicles operating on the Internet.
The U.S. taxi group will form a three-vessel review mechanism for “examination under the line, face recognition, and casual spot inspection†to comprehensively manage the “set-up carâ€.
Anti-blue Light Protective Film is a product developed based on reducing the harm of blue light to people. Compared with the emerging screen protectors on the market, in addition to anti-fingerprint, anti-scratch and other functions, the most distinctive function of anti-blue light screen protectors is blue light blocking. By absorbing and converting the blue light emitted from light sources such as mobile phones, computers, TVs, and LED lights, the anti-blue light protective film can greatly reduce the irritation of blue light to the eyes and control the deepening of myopia; in addition to preventing myopia, the anti-blue light protective film can also prevent myopia Absorption and conversion of ultraviolet rays to prevent skin dryness caused by ultraviolet reflection, resulting in skin pigmentation, chloasma and other problems.
All in all, blue light is indeed harmful to our eyes, but the Anti-blue Light Screen Protector can play a role in filtering blue light. As for the pots with visual fatigue and visual impairment, the blue light cannot be completely ignored. The best way is to try to control the time of playing with the mobile phone as much as possible. In daily life, we should learn to use our eyes reasonably and appropriately, which is the best way to prevent blue light and protect our eyesight.
Not only the use of mobile phones, but also when we use computers and watch TV for a long time, we should also use our eyes moderately, and look into the distance for a while every 20 minutes, so that our eyes can get enough rest. In addition, turning on the night mode on mobile phones and computers is also a feasible preventive plan.
