Where did the word ghetto come from?

The first ghetto appeared in Venice in the 16th century. The city authorities decided to settle all the Jews on the island, where there was also a foundry, from which slag deposits remained. It is from the name of the slag in the Venetian language ("gheto"), according to the most common version, that the place of zoning of the Jews got its name.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Intel H3C XG3 310D Server Accelerator 14.11.2020

Intel introduced its first discrete graphics processor for data centers. Based on the Xe-LP microarchitecture, the Intel Server GPU is specifically designed for high-density, low-latency Android game cloud processing and media streaming services.

As the world continues to grow in the number of smart devices and see exponential growth in data, there is a shift in emphasis in computing. Instead of CPUs alone, mixtures of architectures such as CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and other accelerators are increasingly being used. Intel collectively describes this as an XPU. The release of the Intel Server GPU is a step towards the XPU era. At the same time, to unlock the potential of such devices, not only hardware solutions are required, but also a complex software stack, which is offered as the Intel oneAPI tool kit.

The combination of Intel Xeon Scalable processors, Intel Server GPUs, and open source and licensed software will provide you with advantages in a number of server tasks. Benefits include low total cost of ownership. Among such tasks, Android cloud games are highlighted, as well as media transcoding and encoding for real-time video streaming.

The Intel Server GPU based on the Xe-LP architecture is a power efficient 128-bit discrete system-on-a-chip with 8 GB of dedicated DDR4 memory. Customers are offered x3 PCIe Gen 16 H3.0C add-on cards that combine four separate Intel Server GPU systems-on-a-chip. These cards allow you to support more than 100 Android cloud users simultaneously on standard dual card systems and up to 160 users for certain games and server configurations. Such devices are designed for use as part of server systems that support the installation of up to four cards. When using the Intel Server GPU for media encoding and decoding, AVC, HEVC, MPEG2, VP9, and AV1 standards are supported.
