Amazon CodeGuru is a developer tool powered by machine learning that provides intelligent recommendations for improving code quality and identifying an application’s most expensive lines of code. Developers can use Amazon CodeGuru Profiler to understand the runtime behavior of their applications, identify and remove code inefficiencies, improve performance, and significantly decrease compute costs.

Amazon WorkSpaces now offers new bundles powered by Windows Server 2019, providing a Windows 10 desktop experience along with a 64-bit Microsoft Office 2019 Professional Plus bundle option. The feature brings a refreshed Windows 10 desktop experience, and enables customers to run applications that require recent Windows versions.

AWS Transfer Family now supports configuring a client side externally accessible IP address on an FTPS/FTP server, allowing clients behind a firewall or a NAT router to connect to the server. Additionally, customers can now easily scale up their workloads by creating up to 50 servers within AWS Transfer Family in a single AWS account and region, a fivefold increase in the previously supported limit of 10 servers.

Today, we are excited to announce AWS DeepRacer model action space is now fully customizable. AWS DeepRacer is the fastest way to get started with machine learning (ML) through a fully autonomous 1/18th scale race car driven by reinforcement learning, a 3D racing simulator, and a global racing league. Until now, AWS DeepRacer customers were modifying the steering angle and speed beyond the 20 options available in console by downloading, editing offline, and importing back into the console to improve their model’s performance. With a fully customizable action space, AWS DeepRacer console users can now specify both provided actions and add actions of their own to push their models performance to its limits! 

Starting today, AWS customers can use ED25519 keys to prove their identity when connecting to EC2 instances. ED25519 is an elliptic curve based public-key system commonly used for SSH authentication.

ELECTRONIC data procesing, like other subjects, has its fashionable OK words. A short time ago the OK word was ‘time-sharing’.  Now it is ‘data transmission.’ So, 60 years ago, started an article in Electronics Weekly’s edition of January 18th 1961 written by the computer pioneer Sir Maurice Wilkes who led the creation in Cambridge of …

Silver nanowires can be drawn down to nanometre dimensions and are finding use in all sorts of chemical and bio-sensing applications, as well as transparent conductive films. They are flexible and the most conductive of the metallic nano-wires, according to the Terasaki Institute in Los Angeles, although they are prone to corrosion. “Silver nanowires have …

Millions of qubits can have their spins synchronised at the same time, according to engineers from the University of New South Wales Sydney, who have developed a way to do it. The challenge is to control the spins of electrons on many quantum dots simultaneously using the magnetic field of a microwave signal. A wire …
