BARCELONA, Spain, June 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mobile World Congress—NVIDIA today announced that it is partnering with Google Cloud to establish the industry’s first AI-on-5G Innovation Lab, enabling network infrastructure players and AI software partners to develop, test and adopt solutions that will help accelerate the creation of smart cities, smart factories and other advanced 5G and AI applications.

The lab will provide enterprises with access to Google Cloud’s Anthos platform and NVIDIA accelerated computing hardware and software platforms that let them harness data and AI to drive business performance, improve operational efficiency and optimize safety and reliability. The companies will begin development in the second half of the year.

“The global telecommunications industry is undergoing a sweeping transformation as the speed and low latency of 5G create unprecedented opportunities to deliver AI-on-5G at the enterprise edge,” said Ronnie Vasishta, senior vice president of Telecom at NVIDIA. “Our collaboration with Google Cloud will help network operators and infrastructure players conceive and create new profit centers built on AI and machine learning.”

Growing AI-on-5G Ecosystem
NVIDIA announced in April it is teaming with Google Cloud, Fujitsu, Mavenir, Radisys and Wind River to develop solutions for NVIDIA’s AI-on-5G platform. Google Cloud is extending the Anthos application platform to the network edge, allowing telecommunications service providers and enterprises to rapidly deliver new services and applications at the 5G edge.

“Google Cloud, with our Anthos application platform, is enabling service providers and enterprises across many vertical markets to connect seamlessly over 5G at the network edge,” said Shailesh Shukla, vice president and general manager for Networking at Google Cloud. “We’re excited to extend our collaboration with NVIDIA to deliver a joint innovation lab that provides the infrastructure required for enterprises, communications service providers and partners to develop, test and deploy their edge AI applications.”

Anthos offers a consistent platform for application deployments, with a service-centric view of each environment. The platform enables customers to build and deploy enterprise-grade, containerized applications faster with managed Kubernetes in the cloud, on premises and at the network edge.

Anthos supports NVIDIA GPU-accelerated servers, enabling a consistent deployment and operational experience across deployments, while reducing expensive overhead and improving developer productivity. The platform also protects applications and software supply chains and provides an outcome-focused approach to managing policies for applications across environments — a critical feature for network operators and enterprises delivering AI on 5G.

NVIDIA Hardware and Software Development
NVIDIA AI-on-5G provides enterprises, mobile network operators and cloud service providers a single, converged platform for handling both 5G and edge AI computing. The platform uses the NVIDIA Aerial™ software development kit with the NVIDIA BlueField®-2 A100 — a converged card that combines GPUs and DPUs as well as NVIDIA’s “5T for 5G” solution. This allows for the creation of high-performance 5G RAN and AI applications to manage precision manufacturing robots, automated guided vehicles, drones, wireless cameras, self-checkout aisles and hundreds of other transformational projects.

The NVIDIA Aerial SDK, in combination with the AI frameworks NVIDIA Metropolis for smart cities, NVIDIA Isaac™ for autonomous machines and NVIDIA Clara™ for healthcare, is an integral part of the AI-on-5G ecosystem and can be deployed on a single NVIDIA-Certified System™.

In related news today, NVIDIA announced its next-generation Aerial A100 AI-on-5G computing platform will incorporate 16 Arm-based CPU cores into the NVIDIA BlueField-3 A100. This results in a self-contained, converged card that delivers enterprise edge AI applications over cloud-native 5G vRAN with improved performance per watt and faster time to deployment.

These solutions will be available for testing and validation in the AI-on-5G lab.

NVIDIA AI-on-5G Data Centers — From Edge to the Cloud
Software-defined RANs are critical for building a modern 5G infrastructure that is capable of running a range of applications on a common platform. NVIDIA Aerial enables the best possible utilization by providing elasticity as network traffic changes throughout the day and the flexibility to offer services based on dynamic customer needs.

The NVIDIA EGX™ platform offered by OEMs through NVIDIA-Certified Systems brings AI computing capabilities to the edge, where data gets created. Expanding on the platform, server makers also can pair NVIDIA GPUs and DPUs to build hyperconverged edge data centers.

Adamastor introduces the FURIA, the first Portuguese supercar

Published

on

adamastor-introduces-the-furia,-the-first-portuguese-supercar

PORTO, Portugal, May 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The history of the Portuguese car industry is filled with good examples of the significance of Portuguese entrepreneurship, the desire to “give new worlds to the world”, the enormous capacity to get down to work and turn ideas into reality. In all of them we find something that unites them: one or two “geniuses” who, sometimes not in the most obvious way, or having to overcome the most unusual obstacles, end up bringing something they dreamed of to fruition. Adamastor has a lot of all these things. A lot of idealism, a lot of passion and, at the same time, a lot of know-how… The result is being presented today: the FURIA!

A supercar is, in essence, an exclusive high-performance sports car made up of specific components of superior quality, offering more power and cutting-edge technology to enthusiasts and collectors around the world. It is precisely in this segment, which is also “super” in terms of exclusivity, that Adamastor wants to position itself.
The constant growth and development of society and the economy has favoured the expansion of the number of wealthier consumers, many of whom are regular customers of the restricted supercar category. It is therefore expected that the demand for supercars will continue to increase, also favouring growth in the sector.
However, the rigour of construction, the driving experience and the high-level design and technology are equally responsible for placing Adamastor’s market segment at the forefront of the evolution of expertise, R&D and technical knowledge in this top category of the exciting automotive industry. This is precisely where Adamastor wants to put itself, with the introduction of the Furia, right at the front of the pack.
Where is the first Portuguese supercar produced?
It was from its facilities in Perafita, on the outskirts of Oporto, that Adamastor worked on the development of the first Portuguese supercar. But the highly specialised engineering, production and design team also has the technical and human resources to design, develop and produce its own tools, equipment and other components, and is also committed to becoming a leader in the execution of excellent engineering projects at international level, with a special focus on designing the highest quality carbon fibre components. Adamastor Advanced Technologies was thus born.
In order to achieve this, it uses cutting-edge technical solutions, from the design stages to validation, obviously including development and production, and it has all the skills and competences that allow it, for example, to stand out as one of the main players in the industry in the production of carbon fibre components for use in the demanding automotive industry, in the new mobility solutions sector and in the challenging world of racing, while demonstrating its ability to adapt to an industry that is constantly changing and evolving.
From advanced CNC machining technology to modern 3D printing tools, including the aforementioned production of carbon fibre components, Adamastor Advanced Technologies’ experience, expertise and excellent service has made it the choice of customers with specific needs, such as for the production of carbon fibre bodies and fuel tanks for off-road racing vehicles, propellers for wind power generation, among other high-precision components, where tight tolerances are crucial for the application and consequent correct operation of the component under working conditions.
In this context, Adamastor’s network of partners is also one of its main assets. Each of its partners offers the experience and technical expertise needed to achieve the best results, meeting the high-quality standards and demands of its customers. Examples include partnerships with Creodynamics – virtual simulation of a wind tunnel with CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) software, as used in Formula 1; with Canopy – virtual simulation of races and lap times used by some of the teams in the FIA World Endurance Championship and Formula 2; and with Altair – FEA (Finite Element Analysis)
