Order IT has a new look and feel, and is now easier to use than ever before! Reporting is moving to the Oracle Business Intelligence system, and this Tech Briefing will show you how to use it.
Members of the project team covered what you can expect at go-live, demoed the new voice services form, and covered the new service terminology. Additionally the audience was shown how orders are provisioned, and provided with a demonstration on running and exporting basic reports.
MongoDB is a scalable, high-performance, document-oriented schemaless database. During this presentation, Sr. Architect Asya Kamsky introduced MongoDB, provided a quick tour of its many uses, and helped the audience understand where it’s most applicable.
During this Tech Briefing, John and Mark focused on the basic information related to setting up home networks on Stanford DSL, Stanford West, and non-Stanford DSL/cable modems.
Topics covered included the basics of print servers, wireless access points, and routers, among others. Though no specific product was covered, by viewing this video you will undoubtably pick up on some best practices and recommendations on home network configurations that can be used with a variety of products.
This session supplied individuals with tips on how to effectively market their respective department and/or group on campus using bit.ly and Goo.gl. Don and Mark talked about how Technology Training uses bit.ly and goo.gl to collect metrics and to make the client experience easier and faster.
Mark also discussed the benefits of RSS feeds, demonstrating how they can be used to push information to clients.
Software Radio has come a long way in the last 15 years. This Tech Briefing discussed where we have come from, where we are today, and where we’re going in the future, highlighting what previously has and has not worked, and what challenges still remain.
Specific topics covered included:
Challenges in hardware for Software Radio, and a discussion of the state of the art in RF frontends and data converters
The evolution of the various processing paradigms used in software radio (GPP, GPU, DSP, and FPGA)
What problems we thought would be solved by now
The basic economics of software radios in volume production
During this Tech Briefing, theme co-maintainers Megan Miller and Brian Young of IT Services provided an introduction to the Stanford Drupal theme stack.
They introduced Open Framework and Stanford Framework, responsive base themes that support subtheme development across the university. They also covered the fundamentals of responsive web design, best practices, and discussed how toget started subtheming using Open Framework and Stanford Framework.
This session began with an introduction to the Stanford MySQL Community and the MySQL Enterprise Server, providing an “about us” overview.
In addition to addressing questions and concerns from the audience, the presenter led a demonstration on MySQL Enterprise Monitor, as well as Query Analyzer, and provided a product roadmap to what’s new in version 5.6, covering features, training, etc.
This session was offered as a follow-on to the January 11th Tech Briefing — GPU Computing 101. This session was led by a NVIDIA developer, and the workshop incorporated hands-on exercises designed for the participants to become more familiar with GPU programming techniques.
This GPU Computing 101 workshop addressed topics such as why accelerated computing with GPUs is important to sustaining and advancing the state of the art in scientific and research computing, both in terms of performance and energy efficiency. The workshop surveyed the broad range of GPU accelerated applications across all domains of scientific research and engineering.
Participants learned how to program GPUs via the use of libraries, OpenACC compiler directives, and CUDA programming. The workshop incorporated hands-on exercises so that participants could become more familiar with GPU programming techniques.
This video is especially recommended for:
Domain scientists to realize the power of GPU computing by taking advantage of the GPU enabled applications.
HPC/IT staff who want to enable scientists and developers with parallelizing compilers.
Developers who want hands-on experience how to program GPUs in any of their native languages (C, Fortran, Python etc).
