Capsule: Efficient Player Isolation for Datacenters
Cloud gaming is increasingly popular. A challenge for cloud provider is to keep datacenter utilization high: a non-trivial task due to application variety. These applications come in different shapes and sizes. So do cloud datacenter resources, e.g., CPUs, GPUs, NPUs. Part of the challenge stems from game engines being predominantly designed to run only one player. One player in a lightweight game might utilize only a fraction of the cloud server GPU. The remaining GPU capacity will be left u…

Resonant interlayer coupling in NbSe$_2$-graphite epitaxial moir{é} superlattices
Moir{é} heterostructures, created by stacking two-dimensional (2D) materials together with a finite lattice mismatch or rotational twist, represent a new frontier of designer quantum materials. Typically, however, this requires the painstaking manual assembly of heterostructures formed from exfoliated materials. Here, we observe clear spectroscopic signatures of moir{é} lattice formation in epitaxial heterostructures of monolayer (ML) NbSe$_2$ grown on graphite substrates. Our angle-resolved …

Fact: Taking a BC Ferry from Metro Vancouver to Vancouver Island is a High CO2 experience, though if it's a full ferry, it's not terrible (~5kgCO2/passenger)
By 2031, BC Ferries will have replaced 18 ferries (big and small!) in 15 years, and nearly all will be 100% electric-ready.
They just announced they're doing the big ships next.
"Built with diesel-battery hybrid propulsion systems and designed with the capability to operate on full electric power in future, the NMVs are expected to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve fuel efficiency, and lower underwater radiated noise to better protect marine life. With greater capacity than the vessels they replace, the NMVs will offer more space for vehicles and passengers and upgraded amenities, supporting a more reliable and comfortable travel experience.”
The age of fossil fuels is ending. Any politician or lobbyist who says otherwise is either not paying attention, or bought.
