Updated: National Association of Workforce Boards Launches AI-Powered Career Navigation and Learning Platform

Published

on

WASHINGTON, July 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today the National Association of Workforce Boards (NAWB) launched an AI-powered career navigation and learning platform, Workforce Compass, in partnership with technology provider FutureFit AI, at its annual event The Forum in Washington, D.C. The platform will enable participating workforce development boards to provide job seekers with career exploration, reskilling, and job placement support that is personalized through local labor market data and artificial intelligence.  

Workforce Compass will enable workforce development boards to expand and strengthen their services for job seekers, aggregate national and local learning options on one simplified platform, and access real-time progression and outcomes data.  

An inaugural set of learning partners and workforce development boards will help shape the launch of the Workforce Compass platform as it expands to support job seekers around the country. The five inaugural workforce development boards and their staff will have the opportunity to inform the development of the platform to ensure Workforce Compass maximizes its impact for job seekers and the organizations that serve them. “By integrating with both local and national providers, Workforce Compass is uniquely positioned to help us achieve sustainable, high quality career outcomes for job seekers in our community,” said Mark Mattke, CEO of the Spokane Workforce Council. “We are excited to be an inaugural member of an innovative partnership that is poised to unlock the full potential of workforce development boards’ service delivery model.” 

Initial national learning and training providers include Coursera, LinkedIn Learning, Calbright College, Penn Foster, and MedCerts, and will be driven by local decisions on learning and service provider options for each community. “Public-private partnerships will be critical to addressing the unemployment crisis and upskilling displaced workers for well-paying digital jobs,” said Jeff Maggioncalda, Coursera CEO. “Coursera is excited to partner with Workforce Compass to provide job-seekers with access to a wide range of industry-relevant credentials from leading technology educators like Google and IBM and equip them with the skills needed to re-enter the workforce.”

During The Forum’s opening keynote session, NAWB President and CEO Ron Painter said, “NAWB is excited to announce our new partnership with FutureFit AI and innovative learning providers on this groundbreaking career navigation and reskilling platform. During the initial design process of the platform, we worked with a great group of workforce development boards to ensure Workforce Compass will directly address common pain points.  

“This platform will complement the extraordinary work that workforce professionals are doing across the country to support job seekers and connect them to the appropriate learning and credentialing resources that best fit their needs.”

Trading Technologies broadens product line with new offerings for futures TCA and multi-asset trade surveillance

Published

on

trading-technologies-broadens-product-line-with-new-offerings-for-futures-tca-and-multi-asset-trade-surveillance

TT® Futures TCA and TT® Trade Surveillance announced at FIA International Derivatives Expo in London
CHICAGO and LONDON, June 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Trading Technologies International, Inc. (TT), a global capital markets technology platform provider, today announced the introduction of TT Futures TCA and TT Trade Surveillance, two new offerings that significantly enhance its Data & Analytics and Compliance lines of business. TT Futures TCA, a comprehensive transaction cost analysis (TCA) tool for futures trading, leverages the largest collection of anonymized, millisecond-level futures market and trade data with a vast array of metrics and measures. TT Trade Surveillance, powered by the proprietary SCORE machine learning algorithm, combines new multi-asset coverage and dozens of new configurable models with the machine learning-driven models from TT Score, the company’s first-generation trade surveillance platform. The firm plans to upgrade and shift all TT Score users to TT Trade Surveillance in the second half of this year.

TT Chief Operating Officer Justin Llewellyn-Jones said: “We are constantly in a mode of identifying opportunities that will enhance our clients’ experience, simplify their day-to-day operations, increase efficiencies and add value to the trade life cycle. The introduction of our new futures TCA and expanded multi-asset trade surveillance capabilities are the latest examples of how Trading Technologies and the TT platform play a pivotal role in the global financial markets.”
TT Futures TCA
In August, TT acquired Abel Noser Solutions, the leading global provider of TCA solutions. A pioneer in the space, Abel Noser co-created the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) methodology that is now one of the financial markets’ most widely used technical analysis tools. TCA has been popular in equity markets and other asset classes for many years, but it hasn’t yet been widely adopted as a tool for futures.
Peter Weiler, TT’s EVP Managing Director, Data & Analytics, said: “Historically, investment managers and traders have not been able to rely on a TCA tool tailored for futures. By leveraging the massive amount of real-world futures trading data – anonymized – that only a firm like TT can bring to the table, we’re able to combine it with Abel Noser’s extensive TCA data and custom reporting that has been an essential tool in other asset classes, and produce what is without question the most comprehensive TCA solution for futures. We’ll be providing anonymized peer benchmarks for detailed, post-trade analyses down to the millisecond. Users can look at like trades under historically similar circumstances to make apples-to-apples comparisons, understand their success relative to their peers, ensure they are achieving best execution and more.”
The new TCA for futures capability will enable users to choose from an array of customizable reports to analyze and improve their trading strategies while measuring the efficacy of their trading counterparties. The capability is available now and will be integrated in early 2025 into the TT platform as a widget on the front end, with the customized analytics available to the client based on the metrics, breadth and level of granularity desired. Clients will have an option of three levels of service dependent upon their analytical needs.
TT Trade Surveillance
TT is upgrading its trade surveillance capabilities beyond listed derivatives to a wide range of asset classes, including equities and equity-adjacent subclasses such as preferred, warrants and SPACs; equity options; foreign exchange (FX); and fixed income. TT Trade Surveillance adds 47 new user-configurable surveillance models to its existing suite of models driven by machine learning technology. The new models are designed to detect a wide range of manipulative or disruptive trading activities, including insider trading, front-running and naked short-selling practices.
Ted Morgan, Trading Technologies EVP Managing Director, Compliance, said: “We’re building on our track record of innovation and investment in the product by extending our capabilities into new asset classes – consistent with our company-wide expansion – and more than doubling our surveillance models, putting more power into the users’ hands. They can adjust settings and thresholds that pertain to any particular model and run them on any subset of data they want to filter, such as defining parameters differently for specific countries or distinguishing between retail and institutional flow.”
Morgan said users will continue to enjoy the online suite of analysis tools and out-of-the-box features available to compliance officers investigating alerts, such as the market replay tool, reconciliation module and other graphical aids. TT Trade Surveillance provides the market data needed for particular surveillance models at no extra cost. Users can also create and configure a synthetic instrument to identify potential manipulation across products and markets.

Supermicro Adding 3 New Manufacturing Facilities in Silicon Valley and Globally to Support the Growth of AI and Enterprise Rack Scale Liquid-Cooled Solutions

Published

supermicro-adding-3-new-manufacturing-facilities-in-silicon-valley-and-globally-to-support-the-growth-of-ai-and-enterprise-rack-scale-liquid-cooled-solutions

Expanded Manufacturing Footprint is Targeted to Bring Global Liquid-Cooled Rack Capacity to More than Double Today’s 1,000 AI SuperClusters Shipped Per Month
SAN JOSE, Calif., June 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Supermicro, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI), a Total IT Solution Provider for AI, Cloud, Storage, and 5G/Edge, continues to expand in Silicon Valley with new campuses as the demand for liquid-cooled data center increases. The new facilities will be part of the new liquid-cooled ecosystem, reducing the time needed to deliver to customers worldwide. These new facilities will focus on delivering entire plug-and-play liquid-cooled solutions, from systems to racks to water towers. With AI factories becoming more prevalent, liquid-cooled data centers are critical to meet these increasing customer demands for AI-focused workloads. Liquid-cooled data centers increase the amount of AI compute performance per watt, resulting in more performance per data center. In addition, electricity consumption and environmental impact are reduced, and operational expenses can be up to 40% lower compared to traditional, air-cooled data centers.

“Supermicro has the highest performing generative deep learning and inferencing AI platform and clusters which benefit from liquid-cooled technologies,” said Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro. “Many data center owners are looking for electricity saving Direct Liquid-Cooled solutions. Supermicro is developing building block liquid-cooled solutions for AI factories and the HPC market. We anticipate that liquid-cooled data centers will grow from historically less than 1% to an expected 15% and up to 30% of all data center installations in the next two years. This expansion positions us to capture the majority share of that growth. New data centers will run more efficiently, reducing their carbon footprint, and can be virtually free, compared to air-cooled data centers, with significant operational savings realized through lower electricity use over time.”

“We are thrilled that Supermicro is expanding in San Jose and leading the charge to reduce the impact of data centers,” said Matt Mahan, Mayor of San Jose, CA. “Supermicro represents the best of Silicon Valley as a company that continues to push the boundaries of both technology and sustainability.”
Supermicro, as a total solution provider, supplies all the components needed for an efficient and optimized liquid-cooled solution. From the Supermicro optimized cold plates to the coolant distribution manifolds (CDMs) to the redundant coolant distribution units (CDUs) and even the external cooling tower, the entire end-to-end solution is designed and tested by Supermicro engineers, which results in a higher quality solution, enabling organizations to get more productive sooner.
Many Supermicro servers are explicitly designed for high-performance NVIDIA GPUs for AI processing, such as the very high-density 4U-8GPU systems, the Intel CPU-based SYS-421GE-TNHR2-LCC, or the AMD CPU-based AS -4125GS-TNHR2-LCC. In addition, many Supermicro servers, such as the popular 8U-8GPU systems, are liquid-cooled ready, as well as NVIDIA-based 1U ARS-111GL-NHR-LCC, which includes the Grace Hopper Superchip. Liquid-cooled servers include the 8U-20-node SuperBlade®, which provides the highest CPU and GPU computing density available today. The 2U-4 node Supermicro BigTwin® and the 4U-8 node FatTwin® multi-node servers are optimized for liquid cooling and are in high volume production today.
Supermicro continues to work closely with data center operators to match the right server technology to the demanding workloads, which are unique to each organization and cloud service provider. Many of these application-optimized servers are designed to be liquid-cooled, which reduces the overall operational cost of the data center.
Many customers have limited experience handling liquid inside data centers, requiring vendors to perform the installation and acceptance testing along with future maintenance and warranty service. On-site support is critical, and Supermicro’s service organization is highly trained in liquid-cooling deployments.
