What is coexistence testing?
Coexistence testing, similar to compatibility testing, measures the ability of multiple devices to interact in a single environment with limited bandwidth. Coexistence tests are usually conducted for wireless devices operating in shared or crowded wireless environments. Importance of coexistence testing As interconnected devices over radio frequency (RF) proliferate worldwide, they must coexist, even if they […]

PostgreSQL 18 to boost OLTP performance, but misses AI readiness
“The use of Asynchronous I/O via ‘io_uring’ Linux interface should really help improve IO performance, leading to lower latencies. This is a big win for OLTP, where time is everything… We will likely see especially good gains here in environments with network-attached storage,” Lambert said. Asynchronous IO, according to Percona’s Turner, allows database workers to […]

Three tips for building agentic AI systems on cloud platforms
By their very nature, agentic AI systems operate with a large degree of autonomy. This autonomy has real value: Cloud-based agents can remediate incidents, optimize costs, or interact dynamically with users. However, when autonomy is unchecked or poorly defined, you often end up with unpredictable behaviors, inefficiency, or even compliance breaches. Let’s look at three […]

Microsoft’s signals shift from OpenAI with launch of first in-house AI models for Copilot
Independence day According to Microsoft, MAI-1-preview uses an in-house mixture-of-experts model that was pre-trained and post-trained on 15,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs, a more modest infrastructure than the 100,000 H100 cluster sizes reportedly used for model development by some rivals. However, with an eye to ramping up performance, Microsoft AI is now running MAI-1-preview on Nvidia’s […]
