ADLINK launches COM-HPC server modules with 80-core Ampere® Altra® Arm-based SoCs for embedded applications


News Image

By delivering this family of COM-HPC modules in collaboration with ADLINK, we give these industries new choices for power efficient, high performance SystemReady design.

Summary:


  • ADLINK‘s unique 80-core Arm-based COM-HPC server type module sets a new standard ratio for edge performance to power. With up to 80 Arm v8.2 64-bit cores, up to 2.8GHz, and modest power demands at 175W TDP, users can reliably and predictably process compute-intensive workloads
  • ADLINK has built an ultra-silent liquid cooled tower system based on the COM-HPC Ampere Altra module and its carrier, called the “AVA Developer Platform,” with 32-core by default. The COM-HPC Ampere Altra module also powers the “AVA-AP1,” a ruggedized vehicle prototyping platform with 80-core by default, developed in collaboration between ADLINK, Arm, and Ampere
  • Both platforms host the Scalable Open Architecture for Embedded Edge (SOAFEE), a new software initiative and reference implementation launched today by Arm, providing a cloud-native environment for embedded edge development

ADLINK Technology Inc., a global leader in edge computing, introduces the COM-HPC Ampere® Altra®, the world’s first 80-core COM-HPC server type module that eliminates power-performance limitations. The new server type module targets edge platforms that reliably and predictably process the most compute intensive workloads, eliminating bottlenecks and restrictions typically caused by memory caches and system memory limits on edge devices. The COM-HPC Ampere Altra core is an Ampere Altra SoC (system on a chip) using the Arm® Neoverse™ N1 architecture, providing premium performance within a relatively modest thermal envelope, lower TCO than x86 designs, and significantly lower power consumption.

The COM-HPC Ampere Altra delivers an unprecedented performance-power ratio of up to 80 Arm v8.2 64-bit cores running at up to 2.8GHz with only 175 watts. The COM-HPC Ampere Altra provides three PCIe Gen4 x16 lanes with a homogenous architecture and valuable compute power for demanding workloads, such as real-time/near real-time applications including autonomous driving, stationery and mobile robotics, medical imaging and robotic surgery, test and measurement, and video broadcasting. In addition, it is excellently suited as a native arm64 development and compilation system for lower power embedded arm64 designs.

“Ampere Altra delivers the scalable power and performance necessary to drive a variety of use cases in the embedded development community from autonomous vehicles to medical instrumentation and industrial robotics,” said Jeff Wittich, chief product officer of Ampere. “By delivering this family of COM-HPC modules in collaboration with ADLINK, we give these industries new choices for power efficient, high performance design. These can be applied whether in a vehicle or in the many edge devices out there that have had only x86 options to choose from in the past.”

“By teaming up with Ampere and Arm and using their Arm Neoverse N1-based Ampere Altra SoC, our high performance-per-watt COM-HPC Ampere Altra architecture allows our strategic partners and customers to process data intensive workloads at the edge without worrying about big upfront investments, hardware overheating, or ongoing maintenance costs,” says Alex Wang, ADLINK’s product manager of embedded boards and modules.

COM-HPC Ampere Altra supports the open source edk2 as bootloader with UEFI. Existing customers can just download a stock aarch64 (arm64) ISO such as Ubuntu and install it through booting a live ISO directly on the target. The same convenience we have become used to by using x86 / amd64 target systems.

COM-HPC Ampere Altra key features:

  • Arm Neoverse N1-based architecture
  • Scalable, from 32 to 80 Arm v8.2 64-bit cores (60 to 175 watts)
  • 768GB DDR4 with 6 individual memory channels for demanding workloads
  • 64x PCIe Gen4 lanes
  • edk2 bootloader with TianoCore / UEFI
  • Gigabit Ethernet support: 4x 10GbE and 1x GbE
  • SOAFEE-compliant

Hardware reference platforms with the COM-HPC Ampere Altra module at its core

Arm today announced the launch of the Scalable Open Architecture for Embedded Edge (SOAFEE) to accelerate the software-defined future of automotive. SOAFEE’s reference hardware platforms are ADLINK’s 32-core-default COM-HPC Ampere Altra-powered “AVA Developer Platform” which will be used by automakers to develop and test on Arm-based silicon, and the 80-core-default COM-HPC Ampere Altra-powered “AVA-AP1” for in-vehicle prototyping. Automakers are moving their vehicles from hundreds of simultaneous discrete ECUs, collapsing their in-vehicle compute architecture into a smaller number of powerful “domain controllers” with computer per major class of function (such as ADAS, infotainment) at first, to eventually one computer running all functions, with “mixed criticality” on a single powerful Arm SoC.

“ADLINK has found Ampere Altra to be the ideal solution for such a development platform for automakers to develop and test while waiting for their next generation IPs from silicon partners,” said Joe Speed, Field CTO, ADLINK. “The combination of SOAFEE, led by Arm, and ADLINK’s COM-HPC Ampere Altra-powered reference platforms brings cloud technologies and best practices for CI/CD, virtualization, and security to the developer’s desk and vehicles.”

Shipping of samples of the prototype system to key ecosystem partners is already in progress. ADLINK is taking pre-orders now. Find more information on the COM-HPC Ampere Altra module here and AVA Developer Platform’s support pages here.

Six Questions for All Christians to Answer and Deepen Their Biblical Faith” is a powerful discourse


News Image

“Christian Life in Satan’s World: Six Questions for All Christians to Answer and Deepen Their Biblical Faith”: a potent call to spiritual arms that pushes one to examine and strengthen their faith. “Christian Life in Satan’s World: Six Questions for All Christians to Answer and Deepen Their Biblical Faith” is the creation of published author Emet Darash, a devoted husband and father who found a deeper relationship with God at thirty-three years of age after leaving the Catholic church.

Darash shares, “We all make decisions every day. We choose what we wear to work and what to make for dinner, along with thousands of other minor choices each day. Most decisions don’t even register in our minds as we live our lives.

“Decisions can be small, but other decisions will change the course of our life. Each day we decide to accept or reject the love of God. We choose to sin. We choose to avoid sin. Our choices directly affect our children and families, friends, coworkers, and neighbors.

“Being a Christian is a choice. We can choose to accept the blessings from our creator or we can ignore them and blindly accept what this world offers us. Our government is removing God from our society. Our schools teach our children God is a fairytale. The literal truth of the Bible is being attacked by modern-day science in an effort to destroy the greatest love story ever told. As God is being systematically removed from our communities, our country is falling apart in every way.

“If you are not yet a Christian, this book can help you logically and scientifically realize there is no possibility of our existence without a loving God. If you are already a Christian, you will be challenged on the depth of your faith in an effort to help you trust every word in the Bible is true and accurate. Be ready for controversial issues to be addressed with biblical principles and for the discovery of how deep your faith can take you in realizing God’s amazing and perfect love for us.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Emet Darash’s new book is an engaging opportunity for a revitalization or discovery of one’s faith.

Darash welcomes readers to a moment of self-evaluation and spiritual growth within the pages of this articulate work.

Consumers can purchase “Christian Life in Satan’s World: Six Questions for All Christians to Answer and Deepen Their Biblical Faith” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

One woman experienced physical and spiritual death to better understand the real value and purpose of her life


News Image

Jesus Christ is the Almighty, and He has a purpose for our lives. He is the only one who knows what is best for us because He created all of us with a purpose.

“I believed in a different god before. I also prayed to different virgins and saints as well, but I did not obtain any results. One day, I found myself at a dead end with the only living God, Jesus Christ, showing me His mighty resurrection power when I lost my life in a hospital bed. It inspired me to write this book,” Authoress Adriana Brunga states.

“Death Saved by Jesus Christ” (published by AuthorHouse) shares the story of a 3-year-old girl who created her own shelf of protection in her mind and who found peace, love, joy, faith, and a wonderful God in the Bible. This little girl is now 42 years old, but due to a traumatic event, she ended up with a mysterious mental illness called conversion disorder (a post-traumatic stress disorder).

This mysterious mental illness caused the little girl’s brain to make mindless involuntary movements in her body, creating an automatic brain regression, and making her speak and act like a 3-year-old. When that would happen, she automatically would go into her perfect hiding place inside her imaginary empty room, allowing her mind to feel protected and loved by God. After coming back from a coma and death, she found the most interesting complement to and purpose in life. Jesus Christ blessed her directly from heaven.

“I experienced spiritual death for 32 years until Jesus Christ came to rescue me and saved my life. Furthermore, I had to experience physical death and come back to life to utterly understand the real value and purpose of my life,” Brunga says. “Jesus Christ is the Almighty, and He has a purpose for our lives. He is the only one who knows what is best for us because He created all of us with a purpose.”

“Death Saved by Jesus Christ” explains to readers how powerful and merciful Jesus Christ has been. This book is based on a true story that will touch their hearts and miraculously change the way they see God. This will help them to realize that only God can give them the strength and courage they need to walk through the storm.

Paybotic Proud to Attend the Illinois Cannabis Convention


Find Paybotic at the NECANN Illinois Cannabis Convention

Find Paybotic at the NECANN Illinois Cannabis Convention

Paybotic is eager to announce that they will be an exhibitor at NECANN in Illinois and will be showcasing their financial solutions that were developed specifically for the marijuana industry. This payment processing software allows dispensaries to provide consumers with a variety of payment options. They also offer their clients custom-tailored financial plans that fit their budgets and unique needs.

NECANN has announced Chicago, Illinois will be hosting the Illinois cannabis convention this December 4th and 5th. The event will take place at the Hilton at 720 South Michigan Ave from 11 am to 5 pm on Saturday, and 10 am to 4 pm on Sunday. Paybotic’s representative, Brian O, Mahlon can be found at booth 1114. This convention is a huge milestone for Illinois’s cannabis industry and the first event that is focused solely on the local market.

NECANN has gathered some of the best exhibitors in the industry together at one of the largest cannabis conventions in the country. There have been several guests announced, including speakers, marketing specialists, and other exhibitors who are passionate about the cannabis industry.

Illinois has made major strides in the fight for legalized cannabis sales and the decriminalization of marijuana. It is estimated by the year 2025 that the state will bring in over 2 billion a year in revenue from cannabis and have expunged over 700,000 marijuana-related police records. This is an incredible achievement.

Many of these dispensaries were a bold investment in what is still considered a high-risk industry. There are still many barriers that exist for these businesses, including financial limitations that result from federal legalities. Fortunately, there are also several agencies that have developed solutions that combat these barriers to help dispensary owners succeed.

NECANN guarantees the event will be the cannabis social experience of the year. Tickets can be purchased on the event webpage or onsite. Onsite box office offers will open at 9 am on both Saturday and Sunday.

New Biotech IPO Pasithea Therapeutics Looks To Bring Investment Into Mental Health


News Image

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues and the world works to adapt and recover to new ways of living, a new Biotech IPO is hoping to bring more interest into an important health sector: mental health. Pasithea Therapeutics, a new and advanced company has partnered with IV Doc to provide in-home ketamine treatments to patients suffering with clinical depression and anxiety. Alongside treatments, Pasithea’s research team is vigorously working to develop alternative therapies to care for psychiatric disorders.

“We’re glad to see a new uptick of investments in the medical sector due to the pandemic, and are hoping to bring it to another area where many people have been struggling: mental health.” said Professor Lawrence Steinman, Executive Co-Founder of the company and a Chairman at the Neurology Department of Stanford University. “As social isolation and economic uncertainty have shaken the world, we’ve seen an increase in the percentage of adults with depression or anxiety, and a strong need to offer new treatments,” he added.

Pasithea Therapeutics has partnered with I.V. Doc® to offer in-home treatments within the US, and Zen Healthcare in the UK to offer services in select clinics. The company has acquired an incredible team of physicians who will travel directly to our patients, and provide IV Ketamine therapy in the comforts of their homes. All patients will be carefully observed by the visiting practitioner throughout their hour of treatment.

By 2027, Pasithea reports the estimated size of the anxiety and depression market to be $19.2 billion; however, estimates could rapidly increase as the pandemic continues. In displaying the financial viability of the space, Pasithea launched a new Biotech IPO on September 15th, and raised $24 million with their initial public offering.

About Pasithea Therapeutics:

Pasithea Therapeutics Corp. is a biotechnology company focused on the research and discovery of new and effective treatments for psychiatric and neurological disorders. The biotech operations will focus on developing drugs to target the pathophysiology underlying psychiatric and neurological disorders. Our goal is to cultivate new pharmacological agents displaying significant advantages over conventional therapies.

The company will also be working by providing on-the-ground treatments to help better understand and meet the needs of patients. Through clinics in the United Kingdom and at-home services in the United States, Pasithea will gain deeper knowledge on the effects of Ketamine Infusion Therapy to treat depression. This innovative new practice is still currently being researched within the medical field, but has shown great promise in preliminary studies.

Skinly Aesthetics Offers The First Injectable Treatment For The Permanent Elimination Of Cellulite


QWO targets the root cause of cellulite

QWO is a game changer in cellulite treatment and will allow affected women to finally regain their confidence and have their skin looking its best!

After several successful clinical trials, QWO injectable cellulite treatment is now on the market and offered at Skinly Aesthetics by Dr. Schwarzburg.

“We’re thrilled to be offering QWO here at Skinly,” says Dr. Schwarzburg. “Being one of the first clinics to offer this treatment, I’m excited to finally be able to promise my patients long term results and to successfully put an end to their cellulite.”

The complete and permanent elimination of cellulite with a minimally invasive injectable treatment was never possible until now. Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum (CCH), the active ingredient in QWO, is an enzyme that breaks down collagen, resulting in the enzymatic disintegration of the fibrous septae and the permanent elimination of cellulite. After years of careful research, development, and testing, QWO injections are now available at Skinly Aesthetics and ready for use on eager patients.

The key ingredient that makes QWO so incredibly effective is Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum, an enzyme that breaks down Types I and III collagen fibers which make up fibrous septa bands, the root cause of dimpling seen in cellulite.

Manufactured by Endo Aesthetics, QWO was FDA approved on July 6th, 2020, for the treatment of moderate to severe cellulite in the buttocks of adult women.

After multiple successful clinical trials, QWO is clinically proven to permanently eliminate unwanted cellulite in only one to three sessions, which are to be spaced out by three weeks each. Previous cellulite treatments have had mixed results, as they’ve primarily targeted the fat or were surgically invasive with considerable downtime. QWO addresses the true root cause of cellulite dimpling: fibrous septae and remains minimally invasive at the same time. This is where QWO differs from other treatments and why its success rates are so high.

“There has been no effective minimally invasive solution to cellulite until now. I believe QWO will be a game changer and will allow women suffering from this unsightly condition to finally regain their confidence and have their skin looking its best.” – Dr. Schwarzburg, M.D.

About Skinly Aesthetics

Skinly Aesthetics is one of New York’s most successful medical aesthetics clinics, owned and operated by Dr. Schwarzburg, M.D., offering a wide variety of minimally and non-invasive cosmetic procedures. With many years of experience and globally sought-after skill and expertise, Dr. Schwarzburg’s primary goal is to ensure the satisfaction and safety of his patients, which is why he was one of the first physicians to embrace the incredible opportunity of offering this groundbreaking cellulite elimination treatment.

For more information on the QWO treatment, please visit or contact Skinly Aesthetics office directly at (212) 774-4264, or email info@skinlyaesthetics.com.

Definition, Causes, Risk Factors and Treatment for Skin Tags


Angie Seelal, PA-C

Skin tags are almost always harmless, and do not require treatment. Removal is generally for cosmetic reasons or if they become irritated.

Skin tags are very common. Researchers estimate that about half of all adults will have at least one in their lifetime, with their incidence increasing after age 50. “Skin tags are almost always harmless,” says Angie Seelal of Advanced Dermatology, P.C. “and do not require treatment. Removal is generally for cosmetic reasons or if they become irritated. Your doctor has several options for removing them but removal at home risks bleeding or infection and is not recommended.”

What is a skin tag?

A skin tag, also known as an Acrochordon, is a small benign growth usually attached to the skin by a tiny stalk. It is composed of blood vessels and collagen and enclosed by an outer layer of skin. A skin tag hangs off the skin by its stalk unlike moles and some other skin growths that lie flat against the skin. Most skin tags measure just a couple of millimeters but some may grow as large as 2 centimeters. Skin tags may appear anywhere on the body but are most common where the skin rubs against itself, such as in armpits, groin, neck, eyelids, and under the breasts.

What causes skin tags?

A definitive cause of skin tags isn’t known but because they show up in where the skin folds or wrinkles, it is thought that friction may play a role. Various studies have shown an association between skin tags and the human papillomavirus (HPV) and also a possible link to insulin resistance and high body mass index. Skin tags occur commonly in pregnancy, possibly due to hormonal changes and weight gain. There may be a genetic tendency to develop skin tags.

Who is at risk for skin tags?

Skin tags affect men and women equally. Based on the incidence of their occurrence and research studies, you may be more likely to develop skin tags if you are overweight or obese, have diabetes, are pregnant, or have close family members who have skin tags. “There is no sure-fire way to prevent skin tags,” says Ms. Seelal, “but you might be able to minimize their occurrence by maintaining a healthy weight, getting plenty of exercise, and avoiding clothing or jewelry that repeatedly rub the same area.”

How are skin tags removed?

Dermatologists are the best qualified medical professionals to remove skin tags. They have the training and skills to treat delicate areas, like the eyelid, to minimize scarring, and to diagnose growths that aren’t skin tags. Removal methods include:

  •     Heat (cauterization) – burning it off
  •     Freezing (cryosurgery) – using a probe containing liquid nitrogen
  •     Ligation – cutting off the blood supply to the tag
  •     Excision – cutting the tag out with a scalpel

Your doctor will determine the best method based on the size and location of the tag and other factors in your medical profile. Treatment is typically done in the doctor’s office and involves only mild, easily managed discomfort. There is seldom any permanent scarring. Skin tags do not grow back once removed.

“Skin tags shouldn’t be a cause for concern,” says Ms. Seelal. “They pose no threat to your health. You may never notice them and tiny ones might fall off on their own. If they are bothersome, either cosmetically, because they interfere with grooming activities like shaving, or because they are in a location that is prone to irritation, skip the do-it-yourself techniques and talk to a dermatological professional about the best way to remove them.”
