Aggregated on: Wed Apr 27 2022 03:05:42 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

The primary intent of Selenium test automation is to expedite the testing process. In the majority of the cases, automation tests using Selenium perform exceptionally better than their manual counterparts. However, there might be possibilities to speed up Selenium tests using Selenium test automation best practices to their truest potential. I have come across umpteen cases in my career where there was potential to speed up selenium tests. There are choices for using different types of waits, different types of web locators, different browser preferences, and making the wisest choices can aid in speeding up the Selenium tests. When looking to speed up Selenium tests, you should also look at optimizing the Selenium test infrastructure as that can significantly boost the speed of test execution.

Spring Transaction Debugging in Prod With Lightrun

Aggregated on: Wed Apr 27 2022 01:35:41 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Spring makes building a reliable application much easier thanks to its declarative transaction management. It also supports programmatic transaction management, but that’s not as common. In this article, I want to focus on the declarative transaction management angle, since it seems much harder to debug compared to the programmatic approach. This is partially true. We can’t put a breakpoint on a transactional annotation. But I’m getting ahead of myself.

Vectorization in LLVM and GCC for Intel CPUs and GPUs

Aggregated on: Wed Apr 27 2022 00:50:41 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Introduction Modern CPU and GPU cores use single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) execution units to achieve higher performance and power efficiency. The underlying SIMD hardware is exposed via instructions such as SSE, AVX, AVX2, AVX-512, and those in the Intel® Xe Architecture Gen12 ISA. While using these directly is an option, their low-level nature severely limits portability and proves unattractive for most projects. To provide a more portable and easier to use interface for programmers, three avenues are explored in this article: auto-vectorization, programmer-guided SIMD vectorization through language constructs or programmer hints, and a SIMD data-parallel library approach. We provide an overview of these methods and show SIMD vectorization evolution in the LLVM and GCC compilers through code examples. We also examine a couple of vectorization techniques in the LLVM and GCC compilers to achieve optimal performance on Intel® Xeon® processors and Intel Xe Architecture GPUs.

Software AI Accelerators: AI Performance Boost for Free

Aggregated on: Wed Apr 27 2022 00:50:41 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

This is a republish of a blog on VentureBeat by Wei Li, Intel VP/GM, AI and Analytics (AIA). The exponential growth of data has fed artificial intelligence’s voracious appetite and led to its transformation from niche to omnipresent. An equally important aspect of this AI growth equation is the ever-expanding demands it places on computer system requirements to deliver higher AI performance. This has not only led to AI acceleration being incorporated into common chip architectures such as CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs but also mushroomed a class of dedicated hardware AI accelerators specifically designed to accelerate artificial neural networks and machine learning applications. While these hardware accelerators can deliver impressive AI performance improvements, software AI accelerators are required to deliver even higher orders of magnitude AI performance gains across deep learning, classical machine learning, and graph analytics, for the same hardware set-up. What’s more is that this AI performance boost driven by software optimizations is free, requiring almost no code changes or developer time and no additional hardware costs.

oneAPI – The Cross-Architecture, Multi-Vendor Path to Accelerated Computing

Aggregated on: Wed Apr 27 2022 00:50:41 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Accelerator Adoption Will Thrive With Software Standardization Accelerator technologies are receiving more attention throughout the computing infrastructure, from the endpoint to the data center. User needs, ranging from managing the explosion of data to time-critical business processes, have driven this interest for exponentially greater computation in a slowly growing energy budget. While the conversation for the past decade focused on the use of programmable graphics accelerators (GPUs), accelerator architectures today are far more diverse. Specialized accelerators for artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), cryptography, data movement and IO, and telecommunications currently deployed or in development use a diverse set of architectures: superscalar, vector, dataflow/spatial, matrix, as well as emerging neuromorphic and quantum. Beyond architectural diversity, accelerator implementations also vary from the traditional IO connected devices to coherent memory devices to devices tightly integrated into the CPU complex.

What Is a UUID and Why Should You Care?

Aggregated on: Wed Apr 27 2022 00:50:41 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

When working with a database, it's common practice to use some kind of id field to provide a unique identifier for each row in a table. Imagine, for example, a customers table. We wouldn't want to use fields such as name or address as unique identifiers, for example, because it's possible more than one customer could have the same name, or share the same address.

Efficient Heterogeneous Parallel Programming Using OpenMP

Aggregated on: Wed Apr 27 2022 00:50:41 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

In some cases, offloading computations to an accelerator like a GPU means that the host CPU sits idle until the offloaded computations are finished. However, using the CPU and GPU resources simultaneously can improve the performance of an application. In OpenMP® programs that take advantage of heterogenous parallelism, the master clause can be used to exploit simultaneous CPU and GPU execution. In this article, we will show you how to do CPU+GPU asynchronous calculation using OpenMP. The SPEC ACCEL 514.pomriq MRI reconstruction benchmark is written in C and parallelized using OpenMP. It can offload some calculations to accelerators for heterogenous parallel execution. In this article, we divide the computation between the host CPU and a discrete Intel® GPU such that both processors are kept busy. We’ll also use Intel VTune™ Profiler to measure CPU and GPU utilization and analyze performance.

Top Powerful AI Test Automation Tools for the Future

Aggregated on: Mon Apr 25 2022 22:50:41 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Test automation has transformed significantly over the years. It has helped QA teams reduce the chances of human error to a great extent. There are plenty of tools available for test automation, but identifying the right automation testing tool has always been a priority for an automation testing plan to be a success. Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, and neural networks are the trending topics of discussion in the tech world today. And, AI inevitably makes its place even in the automation testing space. The use of AI testing tools has taken over the burden of handling repetitive tasks, saving hours of work so that the team can utilize its time for performing more complex and critical tasks. It has played a prominent role in catering to the rising need to develop swiftly and smartly. Even though the current practices of continuous testing, DevOps, and Agile have kept the software development process in place, introducing AI has subtly unlocked the true potential of software testing and driven a path to Continuous Test Automation. What Is AI Automation Testing? AI, in simple terms, is the ability of a computer program or a computer to think and learn like a human being, i.e., the capability of a machine to reason itself — learn, modify data and use it in a beneficial way to handle any future scenarios. It applies reasoning and problem solving to automate the testing process.

6 Tips For Securing IoT Devices

When discussing the current state of play for the Internet of Things (IoT), a quote comes to mind: With great power comes great responsibility. Cybersecurity becomes even more critical as more devices enter our homes and workplaces and send and receive sensitive data. For example, in 2021, globally-connected devices grew by 9% to 12.3 billion. This accelerated growth and rapid adoption of connected devices have security experts worried. About 1.5 billion cyberattacks on IoT devices occur annually. In an ecosystem with many connected devices, infiltrating one of them puts the whole network at risk.

Are Our Decisions in Agile Free of Cognitive Biases?

Aggregated on: Mon Apr 25 2022 22:05:41 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

"I knew this release was bound to fail. We shouldn't have hurried." If you ever heard a Scrum Master mentioning this, he/she could be under the influence of a "hindsight bias." Another scenario is when an Agile team agrees blindly with a confident-sounding (and looking) Product Owner without empirical evidence, they may be subject to the "halo effect." Or, when a tester in good mood agrees to execute 40% higher test cases than their previous average, the tester may be experiencing "optimism bias." I know, some of you could now be thinking: "That is what Agile is all about. We need to try out and experiment. It could be wrong, but learn lessons from it." Agreed! But what about understanding the scientific reason for flawed decision-making, which if addressed appropriately, could minimize some of these errors? I am referring here to a psychological phenomenon called "cognitive Bias."

Pre-Commit Hooks DevOps Engineer Should Know To Control Kubernetes

Aggregated on: Mon Apr 25 2022 19:50:41 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Generally speaking, all companies are looking to increase their productivity at all levels: human, infrastructure, processes, and so on. Often, productivity is driven by the addition of automated processes to facilitate and increase the pace of production. This automation requires an evolution, an adaptation, or even a complete transformation of the concepts historically used. This includes the implementation and control of security policies. Indeed, since the emergence of new working methods based on agility and flexibility (such as DevOps), some security concepts have had to adapt to the pace of development and management of the components of the infrastructure. Today, one of the best safety practices is to move these control points as early as possible in the integration chain in order to detect as soon as possible any anomaly that deserves special attention.
