Ethernet and Data Gathering for HPC. Figure 1: HPC Justification for Higher Speed Ethernet Beyond 10 GbEIn my 15 or so years leading the charge for Ethernet into higher speeds “high performance computing” and “research and development” have always been two areas that the industry could count on where higher speeds would be needed for its networking applications.

Ethernet and Data Gathering for HPC

For example, during the incarnation of the IEEE 802.3 Higher Speed Ethernet Study Group that looked beyond 10GbE, and ultimately defined the 40 Gigabit and 100 Gigabit Ethernet project, Figure 1 tracked the average processing against the prior introductions of new rates of Ethernet. For “research and development” a number of key areas were identified as needing terabit capacities from an end-to-end perspective, such as high energy physics, climate, nanoscience, fusion energy, astrophysics, and genomics data and computation.[1] Telecom News & Articles. Winning Google's Little Box Challenge Will Take a 'Holistic Approach' Google and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) are offering a US $1 million prize to anyone who can design a power inverter that is about 10 times smaller than what is available today.

Winning Google's Little Box Challenge Will Take a 'Holistic Approach'

The Little Box Challenge calls upon those with “a healthy disregard for the perceived limits of engineering” to design a kilowatt-scale inverter with the highest power density possible (at least 50 watts per cubic inch, or about 3 watts per cubic centimeter). Google will pony up the cash while IEEE (which publishes IEEE Spectrum) has generated the specifications for the competition and will participate in judging, says Don Tan, president of IEEE’s Power Electronics Society (PELS).

He adds that shrinking and improving the power electronics in today's inverters could have tremendous benefits for society. Tan says there are various ways to approach the challenge, and any breakthrough in power density will likely take innovation in both design and materials.

How to Change Your Beliefs and Stick to Your Goals for Good

The basic idea is that the beliefs you have about yourself can drive your long-term behavior. Maybe you can trick yourself into going to the gym or eating healthy once or twice, but if you don’t shift your underlying identity, then it’s hard to stick with long-term changes. Most people start by focusing on performance and appearance-based goals like “I want to lose 20 pounds” or “I want to write a best-selling book.” But these are surface level changes. The root of behavior change and building better habits is your identity. This brings us to an interesting question.
