Cloudalize announces a strategic partnership with Boston Limited to provide an in-house private cloud offering: Private GPU Cloud. This partnership brings together the expertise of Boston Limited in delivering data centre hardware solutions with the NVIDIA-powered Cloudalize Cloud Platform to provide a real alternative to traditional Virtual Desktop Infrastructure solutions, specifically for graphics visualisation use cases in architecture, engineering and construction, manufacturing and educational organizations.
NVIDIA this week unveiled Morpheus, a cloud-native application framework designed to help cybersecurity providers analyze more data without sacrificing performance. According to NVIDIA, Morpheus leverages machine learning to identify anomalies and threats - such as phishing, data leaks and malware - through real-time inspection of all IP traffic in an organization's data centers.
Deployed on NVIDIA computing platforms, the software enables enterprises to accelerate data pipelines and push the performance boundaries of data and machine learning workflows to drive faster AI adoption and deliver better business outcomes, without changing any code. With the release earlier this year of Applied ML Prototypes in CDP and the power of NVIDIA computing, customers like the Internal Revenue Service and the Office for National Statistics UK can not only jumpstart fully packaged ML use cases, but also accelerate data processing and model training at a lower cost across any on-premises, public cloud, or hybrid cloud deployment.
"Even though these new Nvidia drivers will halve the earning rate of the cybercriminals, the crooks aren't paying for the electricity, so any unlawfully mined crypto-coins are still essentially free money for them." "In the early days, it was possible to mine Bitcoin using the average computer CPU or a high-speed video processor card; however, today, mining for Bitcoin requires dedicated Bitcoin mining hardware to make it a profitable endeavor," according to the report.
RTX 3060 software drivers are designed to detect specific attributes of the Ethereum cryptocurrency mining algorithm, and limit the hash rate, or cryptocurrency mining efficiency, by around 50 percent. To address the specific needs of Ethereum mining, we're announcing the NVIDIA CMP product line for professional mining.
NVIDIA is purposely crippling the Ethereum mining power of their upcoming GeForce RTX 3060 GPU by 50% to increase inventory for gamers. Today, NVIDIA announced the upcoming launch of the GeForce RTX 3060 on February 25th for $329, and has made a drastic step to make sure miners do not steal all of the released inventory.
Sunlight announced NVIDIA GPU support for Sunlight NexVisor, its lightweight hypervisor providing near bare-metal performance with a compact footprint. Organizations can now unlock the full potential of hyperconverged infrastructure at the edge, maximizing the performance of demanding, GPU-accelerated workloads such as artificial intelligence running in edge environments.
Nvidia has patched three vulnerabilities affecting its Jetson lineup, which is a series of embedded computing boards designed for machine-learning applications, in things like autonomous robots, drones and more. A successful exploit could potentially cripple any such gadgets leveraging the affected Jetson products, said Nvidia.
NVIDIA has newly disclosed three security vulnerabilities in the NVIDIA Shield TV, which could allow denial of service, escalation of privileges and data loss. The NVIDIA Shield TV is a set-top gadget that acts as a hub for the smart home, streams PC games from a gaming PC to a TV; and allows local and online media playback and streaming.
A total of six security flaws were patched in the NVIDIA GPU display driver, all of them affecting the kernel mode layer. Also leading to denial of service are the next two flaws addressed with this set of patches, namely CVE‑2021‑1053 and CVE‑2021‑1054, NVIDIA explains in an advisory.
