This week’s meeting: Meeting #2 of C++26 At the previous meeting in June, the committee adopted the first 40 proposed changes for C++26, including many that had been ready for a couple of meetings and were just waiting for the C++26 train to open to be adopted. For those highlights, see the previous trip report. This is that library.

As a result, there is a critical mass of data available. And thirdly, an "algorithmic revolution" has taken place, meaning it is now possible to train trillions of algorithms simultaneously, making the whole machine learning process much faster. If you can predict demand, you can plan more efficiently.

A DNN model is trained to recognise patterns in space and time that lead to QoS violations. When a QoS violation is predicted to occur and a culprit microservice located, Seer uses a lower level tracing infrastructure with hardware monitoring primitives to identify the reason behind the QoS violation.

Training models and developing complex applications on top of those models is becoming easier. That pricing won’t be sustainable, particularly as hardware shortages drive up the cost of building infrastructure.

For example, training on more data means more accurate models. Last re:Invent, to make the problem of authoring, training, and hosting ML models easier, faster, and more reliable, we launched Amazon SageMaker.

The goal is to produce a low-energy hardware classifier for embedded applications doing local processing of sensor data. Race logic has four primary operations that are easy to implement in hardware: MAX, MIN, ADD-CONSTANT, and INHIBIT. One efficient way of doing that in analog hardware is the use of current-starved inverters.
