James Clerk Maxwell once wrote: “In every branch of knowledge the progress is proportional to the amount of facts on which to build, and therefore to the facility of obtaining data”. This maxim is particularly true in astronomy, where to probe deeper into the Universe we must continually seek to build more powerful telescopes that produce ever more data. In the case of radio astronomy,...

The presentation gives an overview of the historical development of Augmented Reality. The focus is on different technologies for the development of AR applications. Based on example applications from different areas, the presentation will show in which areas AR is already successfully used and how AR can change the digital world.

Cloud federation is receiving increasing attention due to the benefits of resilience and locality it brings to cloud providers and users. I present an approach to cloud network federation based on direct cloud-to-cloud agreements. The solution uses multi-path proxies able to utilize the multiple uplinks cloud data centers typically have. Bandwidth of interconnection and resilience are improved...

2014 Google open sourced the Kubernetes project, a container orchestration platform, to simplify container scheduling and orchestration.
Kubernetes is built with the knowledge of Borg (the internal scheduler at Google) and Omega. Kubernetes allows an easy extension for custom use cases on top of a sold API-based platform. Two years ago the Kubernetes release 1.0 was published by Google. Since...

Modern CPU architectures for scientific computing are characterised by
having multiple CPU cores and wide vector registers. Effective use of
these features requires different design patterns from those that ran
on the single core systems of the past. Instead of serial processing,
parallel processing needs to be at the heart of the new model, with
many operations proceeding concurrently....

GPUs, Graphics Processing Units, offer a large amount of processing power by providing a platform for massively parallel computing. They have the ability to greatly increase the performance of scientific applications on a single workstation computer; and they also power the fastest supercomputers in the world. This talk will give an overview about the specifics of GPU computing and the...

Deep learning models like convolutional neural networks (CNNs) deliver highly accurate results in classification tasks but require large enough data sets and good corresponding labels. However, one key problem in science and engineering is that data sets unfortunately have often only limited labeled data. Using CNNs together with such data sets can be problematic because it can lead to...
