Improving Network Performance Through Endpoint Diagnosis
“Components of networks, and by extension the internet can fail. Users of the network (clients) do not have access to the various components of this distributed system. Therefore, it is important to provide them with…
Scalable Systems for Fast and Easy Machine Learning
“Machine learning models trained on massive datasets power a number of applications; from machine translation to detecting supernovae in astrophysics. However the end of Moore’s law and the shift towards distributed computing architectures presents many…
