Starting today, you can automatically scale a fleet of Amazon EC2 Spot instances in order to manage application availability and costs during changes in demand based on conditions you define.

Primary objectives of the project are to perform an inflow/infiltration analysis and a sewer system evaluation survey.

Duke Energy will pay for new water lines or filtration systems for 1,000 households.

The treatment system significantly reduces water usage by safely and reliably processing and recycling 90% of greywater generated by laundry operations. 

Multi-million dollar repair fund will enable Newburyport to remediate corrosion in water system and implement critical improvements to sewer system.

The university will pay a $20,964 penalty to settle alleged violations related to the discharge of fuel oil from a storage facility in Fairfax, Va.

Fujitsu Labs has found a better way to parallel graphics processors (GPU) for deep learning applications. Using ‘AlexNet’, 64 GPUs in parallel achieve 27x the speed of a single GPU for, as far as Fujitsu can determine, the world’s fastest processing. A conventional method to accelerate deep learning is to use multiple computers equipped with …
