With one of the strongest processor ecosystems in the industry, Arm's role to accelerate the adoption of machine learning (ML) at the edge can't be overemphasized, and its effort to enhance its CPU performance and software support for ML workloads is now in full swing. According to Jem Davies, Arm fellow, VP and GM, Machine Learning Group, the market outlook, challenges, and Arm's overall strategy to address the huge opportunity are clearly disclosed.ML in edge devices is just beginning"We see ML as one of the most exciting advancements in computers and processors in modern times," Davies said. "As machine learning is exploding across edge devices, we're now to the point where we are seeing huge amounts of activities and some really interesting use cases across all markets Arm technology services."From his point of view, some of the most interesting use cases and active communities for ML are coming out of the IoT sector using traditionally very small processors like the Arm Cortex-M microcontroller family.For example, the use cases come from the embedded and IoT spaces, such as life improving medical devices like smart asthma inhalers, through to industrial sorting and robotics to voice assistants, more intelligent home security and even things like DTVs where there is a lot of activity in super scaling, scene recognition and picture quality enhancement and gesture recognition.Of course, there are some of the more interesting ones, including the well covered autonomous vehicle and driver assistance; in smartphone a huge range of applications are implementing ML improvements like smarter games engines, richer social media applications, and even utility applications built directly into the OS like predictive text and voice assistants."From an Arm perspective, the thirst for ML in edge devices is just beginning and we expect it to continue growing substantially for several years yet," he said. "The use cases are still growing rapidly and we expect an explosion of creativity over the next couple years as the algorithms become more understood and smaller and the developer community really engages with what ML can bring."But, the challenges are...However, opportunities always come with challenges. The challenge for Arm is to ensure people have the improved CPU and other processors along with associated software and tools to support their needs today while also ensuring it is working on the products for tomorrow with even more capability, such as ML dedicated processors.But at the customers' side, Davies saw lots of confusion as ML is too new and too complicated for them to adopt. "A lot of what we're working on now is just trying to help demystify and clarify things in the technology space as there's a lot of confusion and misinformation out there.""Two years ago or even a year ago, it wasn't uncommon for people to think that if you wanted to do any ML on a device, you needed to have an ML dedicated processor - a view fuelled by people with dedicated processors to sell - and so we would get asked which processor was best for ML a lot. It depends on what is important to you. So we've spent a lot of time explaining when a small CPU, large CPU, multi-processor CPU, GPU or ML processor would best meet people's needs."On the other hand, one of the biggest challenges for software developers is the same one they always have: which hardware platform/processor should I target to give my software the widest compatibility with devices?Aside from that, models have introduced a new and critical component to the technology stack when you are doing ML. A lot of work has gone on in the industry the last few years to make these better understood and more friendly and accessible.ML are affecting nearly all Arm's productsAccording to Davies, ML is driving a change in software, and Arm's processors and products are all about running software. As such, his view is that ML is affecting nearly all Arm's products."You can see this in the CPUs we have been releasing the last couple years which have had major performance improvements specifically targeted at ML workloads. Often these are 4x or even 10x on generation improvements. This also extends to our latest GPUs and even our efficient Cortex-M family where we recently released our Helium extensions specifically supporting 15 times improved ML performance in microcontrollers.""So Arm is focused on offering a huge range of 'processors' that can give customers a vast range of price, performance and power trade-offs. We will be extending that further through 2019 with a range of complementary ML processors for all markets given the market options where heavy ML workloads are needed or ML power efficiency is critical."He explained that Arm's strategy has been to add capabilities to its CPU and GPU architectures to support ML for some years now. And the company has launched a range of scalable and extensible NPUs (neural processing units) to provide more efficient ML processing in a range of market segments with performance requirements such as in automotive, right down to the tiniest low-power embedded microcontrollers.As he mentioned, there is no one-size-fits-all approach when choosing processors for ML. "We predict that ML will continue to be run across a range of processors, not just NPUs," he said.In addition to this, Arm has been investing heavily in ensuring the software is there to get the best performance out of current and future Arm hardware as well as ensuring software portability.Arm's advantages in the new ML eraIt is fair to say that Arm provides the architectures at the heart of modern computing and Arm-based devices are everywhere around us. With this advantage, when disruptions like ML come along, developers will use Arm's architectures first to innovate on, Davies indicated."We recently launched a survey to measure where ML processing is being performed, and the most popular was the Arm Cortex CPU architecture, followed by the Arm Mali GPU architecture," he said. "That's a huge advantage for us - it gives us great connections to developers who can then tell us what they need us to develop in terms of software libraries, compilers, development tools etc and what they will want to do themselves.""This major shift in the industry is something we started some years ago and we could see it spreading across various areas of the company. That's when Arm's Project Trillium was brought to life to help ensure we were taking a broad, holistic and comprehensive view of ML in the business."He explained that Project Trillium, which covers all of Arm's ML activities, is Arm's and third-party hardware IP and software running ML workloads and applications. Within it are CPU and GPU improvements started many years ago in research, a broad range of complementary current and future ML processors software to enable ML on Arm, tools, ecosystem and a ramping amount of educational material.As ML is fundamentally a software problem, Arm is also investing hugely to support ML developers on Arm. Arm NN provides a framework to allow ML workloads to be easily run across a variety of processors: CPUs, GPUs, NPUs and other IP blocks."We developed Arm NN, investing over 120 engineering years of effort before donating it to Linaro, and now, with Open Source and Open Governance, our partners are contributing their own efforts to Arm NN, in the confidence that it will become an open standard across multiple industries, not controlled by any one company."With these big investments in tooling and ecosystem support and development, Arm aims to provide the broadest and most comprehensive range of ML solutions for all ranges of edge devices, and hope to bear fruit in the years to come.Jem Davies, Arm fellow, VP and GM, Machine Learning GroupArm is enabling ML on edge devices

IoT is already sweeping across industries and geographies and is starting to further combine with AI in recent years to enable AIoT, which will serve as the basis supporting business operations in many industries. AIoT applications are characterized by massive data, cross-sector management, prompt response and cloud integration, which impose big challenges on data centers. Enterprise-class storage system provider QSAN joins forces with Seagate to incorporate Seagate IronWolf Health Management and self-encrypting drives (SED) in QSAN products to gain visibility on storage health through an intelligent approach and ensure data integrity through a rigorous encryption mechanism.QSAN leverages IronWolf Health Management to guarantee data integrityAccording to Neal Chen, senior product manager, NAS product management, QSAN, data storage is the fundamental element supporting business operations today. In the case of any storage failure, companies will have to pay the price whether for RAID rebuild, data recovery or even hardware equipment upgrade. As such, the market now sees increasing demand for data accuracy, data safety, and uninterrupted services. To address data accuracy and data safety, aside from adopting active-active controllers, storage providers today also include Cache-to-Flash memory protection in their storage area network (SAN) design, which safely transfers cache memory data to a non-volatile flash device in the event of unexpected power loss. In addition to Cache-to-Flash memory protection, QSAN products are also built with snapshot, local replication and even RAID EE, which significantly shortens rebuild time to help companies quickly recover from the disaster of data loss.QSAN's network attached storage (NAS) product XCubeNAS, running its QSAN Storage Manager (QSM), supports up to 3PB capacity and comes with built-in deduplication and inline compression. Furthermore, XCubeNAS also operates on enterprise-level file system ZFS, which enables real-time monitoring of data health by calculating a checksum on incoming data at the smallest block-level, so it can restore the data based on the checksum in the case of drive failure. There are more robust protection mechanisms to ensure usability, including Write Once Read Many (WORM), multi-node synchronization XMirror and Snapshot, guaranteed to wow users. To further enhance NAS reliability, XCubeNAS uses Seagate IronWolf drives with the top capacities on the market. All XCubeNAS tower and rack models are protected by Seagate IronWolf Health Management, which enables disaster prevention, lowers potential risks and thereby warrant uninterrupted availability and data integrity.Enterprise-class Seagate SED safeguards data securityFor data security, all QSAN products integrate SED technologies (TCG Enterprise, TCG OPAL and Instant Secure Erase) and adopt Seagate's FIPS140-2 certified enterprise-performance Exos drives. They offer total security solutions and significantly lower digital risks without comprising storage performance. Chen notes Seagate SEDs are designed with authentication and encryption mechanisms to prevent data breach due to drive maintenance, replacement or migration. SEDs are protected with the authentication key when in normal use. In the event of power loss, the encryption key will be locked and must be authenticated before data access is granted when power is restored so as to safeguard the data on the SEDs that are lost or stolen by insiders or outsiders.In addition, data written to the SED are encrypted and data read from the SED are decrypted. When an SED is to be replaced or re-used, the user only needs to issue an Instant Secure Erase (ISE) command and the data in the SED are safely erased with no way of decrypting and recovering the data, simplifying the drive retirement process and greatly reducing IT cots.XCubeFAS + Seagate Nytro SAS SSD combines performance and safetyQSAN's flash array storage XCubeFAS comes with Seagate Nytro SAS SSD. According to Chen, external storage arrays become a must as enterprises demand higher and higher server performance and server storage space is running out. To increase performance while avoiding latency, small and medium businesses, academic institutions and government agencies are beginning to incorporate all-flash arrays. QSAN's all-flash array XCubeFAS offers health monitoring, performance analytics and optimization for all flash drives as well as quick and easy storage management. Seagate Nytro SSDs integrate several data protection methods including full internal and external data path protection, ECC algorithms, media lifecycle management and other techniques for extending flash memory life.With AIoT applications clicking into place, businesses now have to deal with unprecedentedly large amounts of data, comments Chen. Under such circumstances, data safety and security is increasingly important as well so intelligent data storage management has become a fundamental element supporting business operations. The partnership between QSAN and Seagate not only strengthens health management of storage devices but also ensures data security, effectively safeguarding enterprise data and delivering top-of-the-line storage performance in the smart IoT era.Neal Chen, senior product manager, NAS Product Management, QSANData form the basis of business operation today. Seagate SSDs come with unique authentication and encryption designs to prevent any potential data breachData accuracy, safety and uninterrupted availability are the basic requirements on enterprise-class storageSeagate IronWolf Health Management (IHM)QSAN XCubeFAS

Right now, consumers use the term "smart home" to describe Internet of Things (IoT) devices that are designed to automate various household tasks. However, having a home full of smart devices that all operate independently and based on preferences that were set manually does not constitute a truly smart home.Cognitive Systems' vision of a smart home is where an IoT device takes action based on the consumer's presence, not what it has been programmed to do. By their very nature, IoT devices require Internet connectivity to function. A WiFi network creates the required connection between smart devices - all that is missing is the call to action. What occurrence in a home is so ubiquitous that it can send constant messages to devices in every room? Movement.The future of the smart home is WiFi MotionAs humans, we don't often think about every little movement that's required to keep ourselves comfortable in our homes. But the truth is, nearly every home-related task requires some sort of physical motion: turning on the lights, setting the temperature, locking or unlocking the door, turning on the TV - the list goes on and on.Imagine if, just by walking in the door, your WiFi-enabled devices could come alive. Your door would lock automatically behind you, your thermostat would set to your ideal temperature, and your favorite lamps would light up in the room you're in - all without having to set any preferences through an app or the devices yourself.This automation is made possible through artificial intelligence. A consumer lives life as normal, and the IoT device network learns patterns and behaviour over time, ultimately reducing the consumer's need to set preferences over and over again.Why is WiFi Motion home automation necessary?Because humans are so accustomed to consciously or unconsciously making decisions all day, we don't even realize how much time is actually spent on routine actions. With true home automation, we will have more time and headspace than ever before. Through Cognitive Systems' advanced algorithmic processes and localization technology, this futuristic vision of a truly smart home is within sight.Visit cognitivesystems.com to learn more about current and upcoming WiFi Motion solutions.

Proscend, specializing in industrial-grade niche communication products for years, showcased a full range of industrial cellular routers at Embedded World 2019, taking place in Nuremberg, Germany in February. An IP68 compliant outdoor model that remains operable when completely submerged under water was particularly eye-catching. Proscend also unveiled its independently developed Integrated Service Management System (ISMS), an intelligent cloud-based solution that helps businesses stay on top of machine conditions at all times and troubleshoot remotely when necessary to ensure efficient and continuous operation of IoT applications. Proscend impressed visitors to Embedded World 2019 with its strong hardware and software capabilities.According to Proscend president Jim Chen, established two decades ago, Proscend bases its business development on solid technological strength and highlights its corporate philosophy of cultivating long-term relationships with customers. This has enabled Proscend to build up presence in the global communication equipment market. Its products are used in major projects around the world, including power plants in Germany, rapid transit systems in France and national railways in Japan. Proscend has also engaged in strategic collaborations with India's largest telecom operator Airtel and thereby gained ground in the India market. With a footprint covering more than 30 countries now, Proscend expects to expand presence to over 60 countries within two years and enter into long-term relationships with partners in Africa, Latin America, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam with enormous market potential.Proscend started out focusing on single-pair high-speed digital subscriber line (SHDSL) equipment and rose to become one of the global leaders in the segment, notes Chen. Based on the core xDSL expertise, Proscend then augmented its product portfolio to include VDSL2 P2P, VDSL SFP, Long Reach PoE switches. These products come with unique features and specs and are the reasons why Proscend is able to win market favors. For example, Proscend's Long Reach PoE switch supports 1Km long distance connections as opposed to the 100m transmission range of most conventional Long Reach PoE switches. Featuring a compact size, Proscend's VDSL SFP reliably converts optical equipment into DSL signals which are transmitted over copper cables. It is a niche product that attracts a lot of inquiries.In view of the fact that xSDL is a mature technology with the market becoming saturated, Proscend foresees existing products such as SHDSL, VDSL2 P2P, VDSL SFP and Long Reach PoE switches will have little room for growth; so five years ago, it began to shift its R&D focus toward industrial cellular routers with promising outlook.Industrial-level expertise + long-term customer trust spells successAlthough the industrial cellular router market already has quite many first movers, Proscend is able to repeatedly beat the competition to iconic projects based on its solid technological strength in providing customized services. Its products have been put to use in several projects in the US, France, Japan and Israel. For example, an overseas customer uses Proscend's industrial cellular routers in security boxes which are installed at remote wilderness areas to monitor endangered species. In response to the need for compact routers by smart surveillance systems that have to accommodate IP cameras and network equipment in their small footprint, Proscend modified its product design through pre-kickoff discussions with the customer. Furthermore, Proscend is also working on diverse customization projects for smart healthcare and smart transportation applications throughout different regions in the world.Chen emphasizes that on top of its expertise in industrial-grade communication equipment, Proscend engages in cross-industry collaborations to create the right solution. It combines efforts with partners across different industrial sectors in different countries around the world to promote the right solution to the right target group. As part of such efforts, Proscend actively participates in major international show events including Hannover Messe, Embedded World and Smart Cities India Expo to introduce its products and technologies to the world and enhance its corporate image. By taking part in these events, Proscend can tap potential partnership opportunities, which can grow into formal business alliances, helping it penetrate into new markets one after another.The partnership between Proscend and Indian telecom operator Airtel sets a good example. Every time when Airtel has an idea for a new application service, it first consults Proscend. Then, Proscend either develops the product in house or joins efforts with other Taiwan-based manufacturers to come up with the product that satisfies Airtel's needs. Through long-term collaborations, they have established mutual trust and rapport. Proscend, originally focusing on ODM/OEM manufacturing, has built up presence in India and markets its own brand under its subsidiary Proscend Communications India Private Limited. Enjoying its unique success experience in India, Proscend not only looks forward to duplicating the success to other countries but also welcomes partnerships with fellow Taiwan-based equipment suppliers. Partners can leverage Proscend's established platform as a base for expansion into India and create win-win situations with Proscend.
