Krishna Artificial intelligence is appearing everywhere, but normal CPUs are not efficient platforms for the technology. Efficiency will only come with a new breed of microprocessors that are engineered specifically for the AI workload of the 2020s. The growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) is upscaling many standard types of IT workload as well as powering … Read more
Researchers from London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine have led a study using AI and remote-sensing satellite technologies to produce the most detailed nationwide map of air pollution. The novel method offers an impressive level of detail, with daily measurements provided in a 1x1km grid across Britain. This could transform understanding of the health … Read more
Apple is set to pay $113m (£85m) to a coalition of 33 US states over its decision to intentionally slow the processor speeds of ageing iPhones. In 2017 it emerged that, following a software update, older iPhone models were having their performance gimped, with Apple claiming this was to enable the processor to continue to operate … Read more

In software development, everything needs to double-check before releasing the product. It is important to have a tester team who will test software and invest effort and knowledge to make sure that product is defect-free. Software testing will point out the errors that occur during the development phases. It makes sure that the application’s performances … Read more
Errors made by us, when executed can lead to software failures. Some errors and mistakes are minor but some are quite dangerous and require constant evaluation and monitoring. Therefore, it has become vital for software engineers to implement testing throughout the software, to ensure the efficiency of the developed software as well as to verify … Read more
Wellbeing defines the latest design evolution. It is five years since Apple launched its first Watch. Though the recently launched Series 6 family looks virtually identical to its immediate predecessor (and Watch has retained the same rectangular profile throughout), it underlines how the product has evolved in terms of its target market. Where Samsung seems … Read more
Apple has said it will launch a programme cutting the commission it takes from app sales to 15 per cent for developers who make less than $1m annually through its iOS App Store.
