Balance of power: A full-stack approach to power and thermal fluctuations in ML infrastructure

The recent explosion of machine learning (ML) applications has created unprecedented demand for power delivery in the data center infrastructure that underpins those applications. Unlike server clusters in the traditional data center, where tens of thousands of workloads coexist with uncorrelated power profiles, large-scale batch-synchronized ML training workloads exhibit substantially different power usage patterns. Under […]

5 ways Google Cloud can help you minimize credential theft risk

Threat actors who target cloud environments are increasingly focusing on exploiting compromised cloud identities. A compromise of human or non-human identities can lead to increased risks, including cloud resource abuse and sensitive data exfiltration. These risks are exacerbated by the sheer number of identities in most organizations; as they grow, the attack surface they represent

Why build your own vector DB? To process 25,000 images per second

Ben and Ryan chat with Babak Behzad, senior engineering manager at Verkada, about running a pipeline that vectorizes 25,000 images per second into a custom-built vector database. They discuss whether the speed is due to technical brains or brawn, the benefits of processing on device vs. off, and the importance of privacy when using image
