Between Robots and Hearing Aids there are some really awesome disruptive technologies joining the marketplace that is changing the world around us. Today’s show is massive with a lot of content and a couple of major announcements. I hope each of you will step up and become and insider or at the least support the sponsor of the show. Major unplanned studio upgrade but it was to good a deal to pass up. Details on the show.

You have heard me talk about proximity beacons. I know now how to do it with minimal investment! This course (http://584e7cm5-druvn32pyq8f61x3i.hop.clickbank.net/) that I endorse and have used successfully is the gateway to deploying proximity beacons for Android.

In this podcast (http://radiofreehpc.com/audio/RF-HPC_Episodes/Episode163/RFHPC163TapeDecline.mp3), the Radio Free HPC (http://radiofreehpc.com/) team asks the question: Is the Cloud Killing the Tape Market? The issue came up this week that Spectra Logic is laying off 9 percent of its workforce (http://www.dailycamera.com/boulder-business/ci_31385136/boulders-spectra-logic-cuts-38-cloud-eats-into)."There may be a silver lining for Spectra Logic, with a legacy of tape storage. The technology has had its ups and downs over the years, and things look positive for it once again as cloud providers have adopted it as a cost-effective way to handle the growing amount of data being generated, TechTarget, a marketing firm, reported."After that, we do our Catch of the Week.Download the MP3 (http://radiofreehpc.com/audio/RF-HPC_Episodes/Episode163/RFHPC163TapeDecline.mp3) * Subscribe on iTunes (http://bit.ly/WgEZzd) * RSS Feed (http://bit.ly/QXKy3V)(http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RadioFreeHpcPodcast/~4/xJ2017k2wmc)

At launch, Apollo 11 weighed 6,000,000 pounds, now all that was left of Columbia weighed in at a mere 11,000 pounds.

We have you covered from Wi-Fi attacks to Initial Coin Offerings, from rewards programs to walking while texting. The Krack Attack last week, which focused on hacking a level of Wi-Fi encryption, should not affect many of us but it is good to be educated and understand what happened and how to protect ourselves. The latest trend in startup investment is Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). ICOs are designed around the creation and purchasing of a new cryptocurrency as an investment technique that is proving to be embraced and controversial. Loyalty and rewards programs are beginning to boom again thanks to changes in customer behaviors and companies realizing the power of app-based rewards programs. And finally, walking while texting in a crosswalk will leave your pocketbook a bit little in Honolulu to the tune of a $35 citation.

Very sad to hear the news out of Silicon Valley and the sexual harassment charges leveled by folks I know in the industry. I talk about these latest revelations and me trying to get my head wrapped around it all. Plus all of the tech news and a huge line of cool tech news.

In this podcast (http://radiofreehpc.com/audio/RF-HPC_Episodes/Episode159/RFHPC159Cyclops.mp3), Dan Olds from OrionX describes Project Cyclops - a benchmarking quest to build the world's fastest single node.Codenamed “Cyclops”, the single-node supercomputer demonstrates the computational power that individual scientists, engineers, artificial intelligence practitioners, and data scientists can deploy in their offices. Cyclops has achieved results of (score) for the HPCC benchmark, a mark of (score) for the HPCG benchmark, and a score of (score) for the Graph500 benchmark. These results set new single node high water marks for the (list benchmark we achieved records on).We’ve done more than 150 podcasts talking about topics in high performance computing,” said Dan Olds, partner at OrionX.net Research. “It was time we actually put something together and take a run at some of these benchmarks.” Rich Brueckner commented, “We couldn’t have done this without our sponsors, who include Intel, Kingston, Seagate, and Ebullient Cooling Solutions. They’ve been incredibly helpful.”Project Cyclops is building a system based on a chassis provided by Supermicro and is fueled by a pair of Intel Xeon E5 v4 processors, 128 GB of Kingston DDR4 memory, and M2 SSD drives from Seagate. An innovative liquid cooling system from CoolIT Systems will chill the processors and GPU accelerators. RedLine Performance Solutions will provide system testing and will help optimize the system for benchmarking and workload runs.After that, we do our Catch of the Week.Download the MP3 (http://radiofreehpc.com/audio/RF-HPC_Episodes/Episode159/RFHPC159Cyclops.mp3) * Subscribe on iTunes (http://bit.ly/WgEZzd) * RSS Feed (http://bit.ly/QXKy3V)(http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RadioFreeHpcPodcast/~4/17YfiCjDcuM)
