Hi!

We're at the Intel booth showcasing

Ziva Dynamics, the world's leading character simulation

technology.

Ziva technology enables creators to make my life-like creatures

and characters for film and TV.

The Intel Xeon servers expand the creative capacity

for Ziva's simulations.

And I'm going to pass it over to Lonnie Kraatz who

is going to give us a demo of our technology.

Ziva's improving the workflow and final results of studios

all around the world.

This is a Maya plugin that allows studios and indie

creators to create more realistic characters,

as seen in "The Mag," "Ghostbusters," and "Suicide

Squad."

So here we have Max, our virtual human asset.

And we have the bones, the muscle, and the skin.

The bones in this case are the input

to the soul, which are driving the muscles, which

in turn are driving the skin.

So if I scrub this, you can see how this stuff interacts.

And you can see how, a pec would kind of deform differently

than the traditional.

This approach allows your muscles

to bend, stretch, and flex like they would in real life.

It's-- we're solving this with real world properties.

Here's an example of our own demo.

Now if I, just grabbed this arm, you can see that this is just--

these bones are being driven by the Maya IK,

and these ones are solved.

So if I go back to the start frame,

you can see this is an actual solve in progress.

You see the muscles reacting to the inputs of the bones.

And then with that you can change the properties

of any of this stuff.

So I can go into the muscle and make it softer, for example.

And there you go.

So you can kind of see how all this stuff kind of

works together.

Here you can look at--

here you see a muscle.

And if we select it, you can barely

see the orange little line.

And that's defining the flow of the fibers.

So if I go and paint--

if I go and paint the fiber endpoint,

you can see the direction that the fibers

are taking by going from the black to the white.

So now if I were to change that, you

can see how the fibers change direction.

But ultimately that's defining how the muscle fires.

So when I hit play, that's--

that's where they're firing from.

With Ziva you get greater artistic control

over the muscle deformations and all material properties.

Maximizing Visuals with Multicore in Unreal Engine 4 | SIGGRAPH 2018 | Intel Software - Duration: 2:05.

Hi, we're here at SIGGRAPH 2018 showing off

Glorp which is an Unreal Engine demo highlighting

CPU particles.

So Glorp is a demo showing CPU particles an Unreal Engine 4.

We put it together here at Intel.

And what it does-- the CPU particles

show off that they can bounce off the level geometry here.

They can cast light.

And all of this is done dynamically

while the game is running.

So what we did in Unreal is we have

something called asynchronous tick and parallel collision.

Asynchronous tick is for each one of these particle systems

in the game here-- here's one, here's one--

each player gets one.

This is distributed out to multiple CPU cores.

And what parallel collision is is

when you have a system that has a lot of particles,

those particles are distributed better across the course.

The single system is broken up into multiple systems.

And so you're basically trading CPU utilization here

for better visual quality.

And that's what we're showing.

So what makes this so exciting is

that before these optimizations, you could only

have 5,000 or so particles before the game thread would

get bounds, and your frame rate would drop off a cliff.

What we did with these optimizations

is we made it so that you can have a lot more CPU

particles going on at the same time,

and that leads to better visual quality.

So a developer can take advantage of these things.

We're going to be releasing this demo after SIGGRAPH.

And there will be a white paper to go along with it

on the Intel Developers Zone.

We're hoping that in a future engine release,

these optimizations will also become part of the engine.

So find out more about Glorp and other demos

that we're showing at SIGGRAPH on the Intel Developer Zone

at software.Intel.com.

Protected Voices: Patching, Firewalls, and Anti-Virus Software - Duration: 4:22.

Hello, I'm Henry, a special agent with the FBI.

If you're working for a political campaign, it's critical that you protect your campaign's

network environment.

In this video we'll cover three specific ways to keep your network safe: software patches,

anti-virus software, and firewalls.

Patching is the installation of software updates on computers, routers, and other devices,

such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices like wireless printers, cameras and even thermostats.

A patch is issued by the manufacturer to fix known vulnerabilities—and quickly applying

patches is critical.

The longer you delay applying a patch, the longer criminals have to threaten your operations.

If your systems are not patched, that's like leaving all of your sensitive campaign

documents in an unlocked car accessible to anyone willing to check if the door is open.

You can install patches manually, via a regularly scheduled task.

Or you can set up your systems to automatically install patches whenever the manufacturer

releases them.

It's worth noting that sometimes, implementing a patch can open new vulnerabilities in your

systems, so it's important to monitor patching activity to make sure it's done correctly.

If you can, take an image of your servers before you install the patches.

Have a good rollback plan in case you find significant problems with the patch deployment.

Another tool for protecting your network is the use of anti-virus software.

This tool continuously scans your systems looking for malicious programs such as a virus

or worm.

Anti-virus programs are not perfect, but they are good at identifying and quarantining known

malware.

Your anti-virus software needs regular updates to identify the most recent kinds of malware.

It's considered a best practice to set up your anti-virus software to update automatically—that's

faster, easier, and less problematic than manually installing updates.

Even better is network-monitoring technology installed at your router level.

This will monitor all traffic on your network, and can identify potential malware and threats

that anti-virus software sometimes misses.

The last tool we want to address is a firewall.

A firewall is a set of rules that block or allow connections to your environment.

Firewalls shield your computer or network from malicious or unnecessary network traffic.

You can configure your firewall to block data from certain locations or applications while

still allowing relevant and necessary traffic to pass through.

As stated by the Department of Homeland Security, "Firewalls primarily help protect against

malicious traffic, not against malicious programs, and will not protect you if you accidently

install malware on your computer."

If you're protecting a single computer, you'll probably use a software-based firewall,

which may even come as part of your operating system software.

If you're protecting a network of computers, you probably use a hardware-based firewall.

For example, some routers come with built-in firewall protection.

You can adjust your firewall settings to limit inbound and outbound traffic, to block people

from accessing your computers, and to block suspicious activity on your network.

No matter what kind of firewall your campaign chooses, you'll have to spend some time

adjusting your firewall settings.

Make sure you enable regular firewall updates, preferably automatic updates.

Even if you set up your firewall perfectly, it's not guaranteed that your computers

won't be attacked or infected, because no single tool can give you perfect protection.

Ideally, you're constantly monitoring your environment for malware and anomalies and

can remove infected devices as soon as they're infected.

By regularly patching your software, using anti-virus software, and using a firewall,

you now have multiple layers of protection.

This doesn't mean your campaign's computers will be safe from every type of threat, but

it is a solid starting point in enhancing your campaign's cybersecurity.

Remember your voice matters, so protect it.

New Samsung Leak Reveals Software For Faster Galaxy S10 | Tech News - Duration: 2:24.

If there's one area where Samsung falls behind the smartphone competition, it's

in the area of updates to Android.

That looks set to change with the Galaxy S10, as the latest leaked details from online benchmarking

tools revealing test software that is more up to date than ever before.

With the Galaxy S10 family set to be launched early next year, it will come as no surprise

that the South Korean company is busy testing both the hardware and software of the S10.

I'd expect the final hardware configuration to be pretty much locked in, but software

is a different matter.

That can be iterated on right up to the launch date, and beyond.

It is this 'beyond' part that has been Samsung's weak point in the past.

Rolling out updates to Android has been a cumbersome process.

This is something that Google is aware of and has taken steps to address.

Part of the solution is for Android One, a program where there are far fewer manufacturer

implementations and google controls the update process.

That's not for everyone, especially a company like Samsung where the visual identity of

its UI, Samsung Experience (nee TouchWiz), is important.

Instead the changes to Android's underlying structure to make Android updates easier to

implement and roll out is in play.

Here's where it gets fun.

Android 9 Pie was released less than a month ago.

To have the code up and running on the S9+, to the point where it can be run through external

benchmarking tools, illustrates a significant increase in development pace.

That means that Galaxy S9 and S9+ owners can expect to see the latest version of Android

sooner than expected.

And that bodes well for the Galaxy S10 family.

While I would still expect the S10 to launch with Android 9.0, the real benefit of the

fast turnaround should allow Samsung to distribute updates to the OS,

but it patches, security updates, or major version jumps, in a faster and more efficient

manner.

The speed that Apple can update its limited feel of devices remains impressive.

If Samsung can match (or even get close to that pace), then the Galaxy S10 will be a

little bit more attractive to potential customers.

Radioline: outdoor software-free configuration - Duration: 1:53.

- Hello, I'm gonna show you how to configure

Phoenix Contact's outdoor radioline module

in a simple, point-to-point IO setup

without the use of software.

First, configure the din rail mounted

wireless module as master by turning

the yellow thumb wheel to zero one.

To address the IO extension module,

turn the white thumb wheel to zero two.

To read-in the thumb wheel setting

of the wireless module and IO extension module,

press and hold the set button for one second.

Next, configure the outdoor radioline module

as a slave by setting the yellow

thumb wheel to zero two.

The yellow thumb wheel on the outdoor

radioline module addresses the radio ID

and the IO map address.

Press the set button for one second to read-in

the thumb wheel address.

Next, program a unique hopping pattern

to both wireless modules with

a pre-configured CONF stick.

You do this so that they will no longer

be locked on the factory-configured hopping pattern.

Plug the CONF stick to the master wireless module

and press the set button for one second.

Next, plug the CONF stick into the slave

wireless module and press the set button

for one second.

Your point-to-point configuration

is now complete, IO is mapped,

and you have quickly configured

a radioline system without using software.

AI News | Is Autonomous Driving Really Safe? | Intel Software - Duration: 1:38.

Autonomous driving seems to be the future.

But have you ever wondered how a car could

make the quick decisions that a human driver would?

I'm David Shaw, and you'll find out on this episode of AI News.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Today autonomous driving vehicles

use artificial intelligence for most

of their on-road decision-making capabilities.

However, using this method, with many probabilities,

leaves room for the AI system to make mistakes.

That's why the company Mobileye, with its Responsibilities

Sensitive Safety model, recommends

adding a deterministic layer to the system.

RSS adds another level of decision-making power

and, in total, will make the car think more like a human.

For example, it will enable the vehicle

to decide what to do when a driver cuts them off

or when the car in front of them suddenly breaks in traffic.

So hopefully there won't be any road rage.

Recently Chinese tech company Baidu

announced that it will work with Mobileye in order

to integrate and use their RSS model in both

the open-source project Apollo and commercial Apollo pilot

programs.

Apollo is an open, secure, and reliable self-driving ecosystem

which will help those in the autonomous driving industry

build their self-driving system.

In only one year, it has enlisted 116 global partners.

To learn more about the partnership and Mobileye's

latest innovations, check out the article in the links

provided.

Thanks for watching AI News.

We'll see you next week.
