DuPont launches new additions to the company’s portfolio of 3D printing materials, including six new Zytel® polyamide and Hytrel® thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPC-ET) pellets and two new Hytrel® filaments.
DuPont’s New Pelletized Materials
DuPont’s new pelletized materials for pellet extrusion modeling were developed to help increase 3D manufacturing agility and cost-effectiveness by allowing customers to switch seamlessly from prototyping to small-series, pre-series and mass production—while maintaining similar polymer properties. The new pellets and filaments offer a range of hardnesses, fiber reinforcement options and colors.
High Performance Materials for 3D Printing
The company’s R&D programs manager, Jennifer L. Thompson, Ph.D., will give a technical presentation on these new materials, titled “High Performance Materials for 3D Printing” on Thursday, May 23, at 10:15 a.m. EDT as part of the Material Development and Characterization conference session. Thompson will highlight new engineering materials for industrial use, describe alternative 3D printing methods such as pellet extrusion modeling and discuss tailored testing programs for printing materials.
Customization Using 3D Printing
“As 3D printing capabilities advance beyond traditional prototyping and small-volume production, the industry is looking to scale up and accelerate production while driving down costs,” said Christophe Paulo, strategic marketer, EMEA, DuPont. “By delivering our products as pellets as well as filaments, DuPont gives customers the flexibility to use the same material across different processes. For instance, they can create prototypes with fused layer modeling and final parts with pellet extrusion modeling – or even injection molding for very high volumes – while maintaining consistent properties. The addition of pelletized materials to our offering supports the trend toward mass customization using 3D printing.”
Zytel Polyamide for Strong, Rigid Parts
The benefits of Zytel® specialty resins have been demonstrated in thousands of applications for more than 70 years. In 3D printing applications, Zytel pellets and filaments build on the material’s capabilities to deliver a balance of strength and stiffness as well as ultra-low shrinkage and warpage for strong, rigid, functional parts. They also provide outstanding heat and chemical resistance and lower moisture absorption than PA6 copolyamide, resulting in less variability during printing operations and better retention of properties. The properties of these Zytel pellets and filaments are similar to those of Zytel materials used in injection molding.
Glass Fiber-Reinforced Grades
DuPont’s glass fiber-reinforced grades feature a heat deflection temperature (HDT) greater than 150 °C, good surface finish and resistance to common solvents and chemicals. The new additions to DuPont’s portfolio are:
- Zytel® 3D12G30PT Pellets with 30% glass fiber reinforcement (black)
- Zytel® 3D12G50PT Pellets with 50% glass fiber reinforcement (black)
Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Grades
DuPont’s carbon fiber-reinforced grades are lighter and stronger, making them suitable for highly demanding structural applications in aerospace and automotive. Zytel® carbon fiber-reinforced materials offer an outstanding surface finish, an HDT greater than 150 °C and excellent chemical resistance. DuPont now offers:
- Zytel® 3D10C20PT Pellets with 20% carbon fiber reinforcement (black)
DuPont’s unreinforced Zytel® polyamide grades are suitable for functional 3D printed parts that require good aesthetics and elongation combined with low friction properties. These materials deliver strength and stiffness, good thermal properties (an HDT greater than 100 °C) and the signature low shrinkage of all Zytel® 3D printing grades for easy printing. DuPont’s new portfolio addition is:
- Zytel® 3D1000PT Pellets (natural)
Hytrel TPC-ET for Flexible, Functional Parts
Hytrel TPC-ET is a versatile copolyester available in multiple hardnesses to meet different application requirements. This semi-crystalline material combines the flexibility of rubber with the strength and processability of thermoplastics. Its key properties are heat and chemical resistance, strength, resilience and durability. The extremely low shrinkage of these specialty Hytrel TPC-ET grades makes them suitable for flexible parts.
These pellets and filaments deliver excellent 3D printing performance, including consistent mechanical properties in the X, Y and Z printing directions, low moisture sensitivity during printing, and retention of flexibility in the finished part. As with Zytel pellets and filaments, Hytrel TPC-ET properties are translatable to injection molding.
60 Shore D grades
- Hytrel® 3D4100PT Pellets (natural)
- Hytrel® 3D4100FL Filament (black)
40 Shore D grades
- Hytrel® 3D4000PT Pellets (natural)
- Hytrel® 3D4000FL Filament (black)
These new pellet and filament technologies significantly enhance the DuPont portfolio of semi-crystalline materials for extrusion-based additive manufacturing.

Identifying climate change as a global problem that needs urgent attention, this paper provides a number of learning points about sustainability, particularly in terms of selling the concept of a low carbon living. It is hoped that the findings from this work will help the UK to meet the challenges of low carbon living. It is argued that averting climate change will require millions of individuals to change their everyday behaviour, from the energy they use at home to how they travel. In order to have this kind of impact, the public campaigns that seek to influence individuals need to embrace the most sophisticated approaches and techniques in advertising and marketing, including ‘selling’ the positive opportunities and emotions that could be associated with taking action. It is argued that policy has not yet fully recognised the importance of mass behaviour change in meeting the climate challenge. Key conclusions noted include:
social marketing suggests new communications opportunities to change public behaviour in response to climate change - individual behaviour change will be essential to reduce peoples contribution to climate change
public behaviour campaigns should harness insights from the commercial sector, especially in using fresh thinking and seeking emotional responses - moving beyond awareness requires utilising the potential of social marketing tools
future campaigns should embrace a new set of positive principles to influence behaviour change - recent campaigns have struggled to change behaviour because they have neglected the importance of positive emotions. Bridging the behaviour gap requires campaigns to use positive messages.

Health benefits of pomegranate
Pomegranate seeds have been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years. The Middle Eastern fruit is claimed to be effective against heart disease, high blood pressure, inflammation and some cancers, including prostate cancer.
Pomegranate has a unique, pleasant flavor and it represents a rich source of antioxidants and it can protect you from the following diseases:
(1) Prostate cancer: One study found that drinking a daily 227ml glass of pomegranate juice significantly slowed the progress of prostate cancer in men with recurring prostate cancer. This was a well-conducted study, but more studies are needed to find the evidence to support these findings.
(2) Carotid artery stenosis: Another research study on patients with carotid artery stenosis (narrowed arteries) found that a daily glass of 50ml of pomegranate juice over three years reduced the damage caused by cholesterol in the artery by almost half, and also cut cholesterol build-up. The antioxidants in the juice may help keep cholesterol in a form that is less damaging, and may also reduce plaque that has already built up in vessels.
(3) Heart disease: A research study on 45 patients with coronary heart disease demonstrated that a daily drink of 238ml of pomegranate juice administered over three months resulted in improved blood flow to the heart and a lower risk of heart attack. The study did not say what the results mean for conditions such as heart attacks, and with such a small trial the positive results reported could be down to chance.
A 150ml glass of pomegranate juice counts as one of your 5 A Day. Make sure to avoid brands with added sugar. You could also add pomegranate seeds to cold dishes and salads. Its a healthy and appetising way to increase the nutritional value of your meal....

This article is part of our DraftKings MLB series.
We're down to only two days left in the regular season, and the playoff field — but not seeding — is set. The remaining schedule is a bit strange, as we have day games on Tuesday rather than Wednesday or Thursday, as is typically the case. As a result, we have only nine games to work with on the main slate. Be careful, because the Mets-Nationals game is still listed among the games on the main slate but no players from those games will accrue points. Neither team will be discussed in this article. There also could be a lot of changes to what is discussed in this article, so watch Rotowire's news feed before locking in your lineups.
Anytime Gerrit Cole and Justin Verlander are on the mound, they're reasonable selections. However, Carlos Rodon ($10,100) has been on a ridiculous run of generating strikeouts, maintaining a 45.5 percent strikeout rate across his last five starts. The Padres are right in the middle of the league as measured by wOBA. They strikeout at a below-average rate, which may take away some of the ceiling from Rodon, but he is still a strong choice.
NOTE: Manager Gabe Kapler told reporters after Monday's game that the team is still deciding whether to start Rodon. Confirm his status prior to lineup lock.
It's unclear what Milwaukee's motivation may be like one day after being eliminated from playoff contention, but either way Zac Gallen ($9,400) is another slightly cheaper option to consider. He's piled up 30 or more DK points in three of his last five starts and is convincingly the fourth-best starter in the player pool.
I'm willing to bypass a majority of the middle-tier arms to roster Jeffrey Springs ($7,400). He's shown a realistic floor of around 13 points, and regularly tops 20 DK points. He doesn't have the ceiling of any of the aces we've discussed, but he doesn't have to reach that peak given his price. Boston is solid against southpaws, but also has a 24 percent strikeout against them – seventh highest in the league.
Michael Lorenzen ($6,800) may not quite be in punt territory, but he's close. His numbers for the season won't jump off the page, but he has tallied double-digit DK points in each of his last four starts and over 15 in each of his last three. Most importantly, he draws a matchup against Oakland – one of the most favorable opponents for opposing pitchers in the league.
George Springer ($5,400) and the Blue Jays get one of the better matchups of the day against Mike Baumann, who has the lowest K% and K-BB%. He doesn't give up a lot of home runs, but Springer should be in a position to rack up DK points as Toronto's leadoff hitter.
The Angels have been out of contention for a long time, but that hasn't slowed Mike Trout ($6,300) as he's averaged 12.1 DK points across his last 10 games. Cole Irvin had a solid start to the season, but he has served up six home runs across his last three starts and had a 6.18 ERA across his last 10 outings.
Mitch White has the second highest SIERA among pitchers taking the mound Tuesday, so I like several options in the Orioles lineup. Cedric Mullins ($5,000) leads off and has multiple paths to production. Given that combination of things, he's a relatively cheap core piece to build around.
Austin Slater ($2,600) has been a plug-and-play option when the Giants draw a lefty matchup all season. Not only does Slater serve as the team's leadoff hitter in that scenario, but he also owns .369 wOBA, 141 wRC+ and .172 ISO with the handedness advantage this season. A matchup against Sean Manaea doesn't raise any red flags.
Vidal Brujan ($2,300) got the chance to serve as the Rays' leadoff hitter Monday, as both David Peralta and Yandy Diaz are banged up. The team has little incentive to bring them back prior to the postseason, so Brujan could occupy the spot once again on Tuesday.
Stacks to Consider
White Sox vs. Twins (Josh Winder): Elvis Andrus ($4,000), Yoan Moncada ($3,700), Eloy Jimenez ($4,800)
It's hard to recommend the White Sox as a stack because their .247 team wOBA across the last 14 days indicates they've already mentally started their offseason vacations. However, the matchup is too good to completely disregard in this case as Winder has the highest SIERA and fourth-highest HR/9 among pitchers taking the mound Tuesday. There's definitely risk here, but that should also keep the roster rate low despite the positive matchup.
Orioles vs. Blue Jays (Mitch White): Cedric Mullins ($5,000), Adley Rutschman ($4,700), Anthony Santander ($4,700)
We have a relatively strong group of projected pitchers on the mound Tuesday, so there aren't as many obvious places to attack. White doesn't give up many home runs (0.8 HR/9 for the season), but he gives up a lot of contact and has an 8.5 percent walk rate. He has the second-highest SIERA on the slate behind Winder, so there are a number of reasons to believe the Orioles can put up a significant number of runs.
Angels at Athletics (Cole Irvin): Livan Soto ($3,000), Mike Trout ($6,300), Taylor Ward ($4,600)
The Angels have come up a few times in recent articles, so this will be familiar to those who read this column regularly. The bottom of the Los Angeles lineup stinks, but the top has plenty of firepower between Trout, Shohei Ohtani and Ward. Soto has led off the last two games and offers some nice savings, though Luis Rengifo could also return to the lineup and retake that spot in the order. Cole Irvin has been one of the better pitchers to target across the second half of the season, as he has a 6.18 ERA across his last 10 starts.

This week, author Ann Evans introduces us to a very special bear...
|Ann, Megan, and Teddy|
Who (or what) is your muse?
Ann: My muse is a very old threadbare teddy bear. Well he's five years younger than me, so I'll rephrase that. He's a rather mature teddy bear. Occasionally Teddy has been known to go into schools and meet the children. He tells me he likes to inspire them to learn about local history.
When did you first meet?
Ann: Teddy and I met one Christmas morning. He just appeared at the foot of my bed, all wrapped up in shiny paper. I'd had my fifth birthday just the day before. I remember poking my finger through the paper and feeling his fur. When I unwrapped him and squeezed his tummy he made a growling sound. These days he seems to have lost his growl – and most of his fur, but he still whispers good ideas to me all the time.
Does your muse appear in any of your books and/or artwork?
Ann: He was my inspiration for a series of books which I'll be writing soon. It's all a bit hush hush at the moment, so I can't say too much at the moment. He also makes an appearance in an adult thriller that I've just finished writing but that's a very scary book – with a scary title, so I can't say much about that either. However, in the photo you'll spot my granddaughter, Megan cuddling Teddy. And she is featured (in cartoon style) as the logo of my Little Tyke Murder Mystery books – and you'll find a lovely cartoon of her when you visit my website.
If you won the lottery and had complete artistic freedom, what would you write/create?
Ann: I would definitely make a film out of my trilogy, The Beast, The Reawakening and Rampage. The books are packed full of adventure and suspense. And The Beast won an award this year. So I know they would make a block-busting success. Steven Spielberg are you listening?
Before you go, does your muse have a message for the Unicorn?
Ann: Yes. He would like to thank Unicorn for allowing his author, Ann Evans to blog on his website. And he would like to share a joke with you:
Q. How many mystery writers does it take to change a light bulb?
A. Two... One to screw the bulb almost all the way in, and one to give it a surprising twist at the end!
Oh that sounds a bit rude! But it made the unicorn laugh. (And in case you're wondering, unicorns never have to change lightbulbs - our horns glow in the dark, so we don't need bulbs.)
Ann Evans has been writing for more than 30 years. It began as a hobby and gradually became a career and a way of life. She has three grown up children, four grandchildren – and another on the way.
Ann loves writing exciting stories for young readers – particularly thrillers and mysteries. She also writes romance and crime for adults and non fiction including articles for national magazines on all sorts of topic from animals to antiques. Ann lives in Coventry and when she's not writing she loves walking, gardening and reading. Find out more on her website: www.annevansbooks.co.uk
Emma and Lucy experience the chance of a lifetime. Emma has won a competition to spend the weekend with the hottest new boy-band around, Street Wise. She and her friend, Lucy fly to France on the band's private jet, watching the concerts, going backstage.
It all sounds brilliant. Until something deadly happens…
There are four books in the series. Check out the other titles.

FIVE agricultural export zones (AEZs) in nine districts of the State will be formally launched at Thiruvananthapuram on March 5, according to Mr P.H. Kurien, the State Industries Secretary.
Inaugurating a workshop on Food Safety and Quality Management through HACCP and SQF 2000 organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Kerala here on Wednesday, Mr Kurien said that launching of the AEZs would give a tremendous boost to the food-processing sector in the State. The Centre has announced the launch of AEZs for banana, pineapple and ethnic vegetables in the State, he said.
He said that the concept of AEZs attempts to take a comprehensive look at a particular produce/ product located in a contiguous area for the purpose of developing and sourcing the raw materials, their processing/ packaging and leading to final exports.
The entire effort is centred on the cluster approach of identifying the potential products, the geographical region in which these products are grown and adopting an end-to-end approach of integrating the entire process right from the stage of production till it reaches the market.
This involves convergence of all the efforts take by Central and State governments, other agencies involved and exports and private agencies. One of the advantages of AEZ is that the credit at concession rates would be made available to farmers at 8 per cent interest by NABARD through Co-operative institutions and commercial banks, he said. The AEZs will cover 16,000 farmers with a total area of 4,000 hectares in the State. Mr Kurien said the export market of ethnic food to Keralites residing abroad itself would be approximately Rs 500 crore per annum.
The State Government has identified food processing as the thrust sector and it is expected to announce comprehensive agro industrial policy focusing on financial assistance including re-finance facilities. This will be in addition to the schemes of the Centre, he said.
"It is essential for the Indian food industry to adapt to international food safety requirements and guidelines under HACCP to tap the export market, he added.
Mr V. Rajagopal, General Manager, Kerala Bureau of Industrial Promotion (K-Bip), said that the K-Bip was the nodal agency for HACCP Certification. The State Government, he said, offered financial assistance up to Rs 10 lakh for HACCP certification.
The certification, he said, would enable industry in various sectors such as fruits, vegetables, dairy, meat, fish, spices, nuts, cereals, bakery confectionery, restaurants, hotels and fast food products to benchmark with international standards and to explore the export market.
Dr M.K. Mukundan, Dr P.T. Lakshmanan and Dr K. Ashok Kumar of CIFT-ICAR, Ms D. Jayanthi of SGS India Limited and Mr K. Sasikumar of Elite Foods made presentations. Mrs Pamela Anna Mathew, Chairperson, CII (Kerala) and Mr T.R. Reghulal (CII) also spoke on the occasion.

The consensus of U.S. intelligence services that the Russian government engaged in acts of hacking during this year’s presidential election with the aim of supporting eventual winner and President-elect Donald Trump should be sobering to Americans of all political stripes. Leadership in Congress has been right to call for a full investigation of the matter. Although the nature of online activity that Russian agents are believed to have perpetrated doesn’t rise to the level of casting a shadow on the legitimacy of the election, questions must be answered about how a foreign power was able to play such a dramatic role in the framing of presidential politics. We must determine to what extent hackers of all foreign powers are able to compromise our online security, and we must harden cyber defenses to lessen the potential for future incidents, as well as limit their effectiveness if one does succeed.
It is a sign of the intense politicization of American government that the reaction to the Russian hacking hasn’t been more uniform among the general population. Attempted interference in a U.S. presidential election by a foreign power should be abhorrent to Americans, regardless of the level of success or intended target of the attacks. One of the founding principles of our nation is that of self-determination. To have a foreign power attempt to influence that determination is corrosive to our system of government. If left unchecked, over time, it can erode democratic institutions, and its extreme potential for economic damage has already been demonstrated in the business sector.
To be sure, no evidence has been made public that Russia or its agents interfered directly with the voting process. But there is a remarkable consensus among the U.S. intelligence agencies that the Russian government was engaging in hacking incidents during the presidential campaign. “The U.S. Intelligence Community (USIC) is confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of emails from U.S. persons and institutions, including from U.S. political organizations,” a joint memo from 17 U.S. intelligence services released on Oct. 7 read. That memo went on to say, “These thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the U.S. election process. Such activity is not new to Moscow — the Russians have used similar tactics and techniques across Europe and Eurasia, for example, to influence public opinion there. We believe, based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts, that only Russia’s senior-most officials could have authorized these activities.”
This is no idle observation. Such uniformity and certainty is rare in the intelligence community. When all 17 of the U.S. intelligence services agree on a foreign power’s actions and intent, we ought to pay attention. Instead, the issue has become a political football, with Mr. Trump’s supporters minimizing or outright denying the hacking and his critics seeking to use the issue as a wedge to undermine the legitimacy of the election. Both reactions are shameful and harmful to our country’s governance. The degree of outrage you express about such issues shouldn’t be determined by their effects on your preferred political party. It has been bizarre to watch those supporting Mr. Trump resorting to extreme moral relativism and claims that the ends somehow justify the means of foreign involvement. It has been dismaying to see Democratic Party operatives such as Clinton campaign chair John Podesta attempt to spin the hacking incidents into an indictment of Mr. Trump. Though Mr. Trump and his campaign benefited from the cyberattacks, there’s no evidence they had any hand in them.
Surprisingly, it has been Congress that has taken the sanest tack on the hacking incidents so far. Senate committees will investigate the nature and extent of the attacks, and both of Alaska’s senators have stated their support for such action. Determining the nature and extent of the attacks will be crucial to determining what their effects were, what an appropriate response should be and how best to prevent such actions in the future. Cyberwarfare has become an area of crucial vulnerability for all nations, including America. Putting resources into better online defenses — and pushing back against such attacks by foreign powers — will be ever more crucial as technology advances and our reliance on it becomes even greater.

When last we spoke with Provo composer Andrew Maxfield, we discussed the lessons he learned from being the composer-in-residence at Southern Virginia University. Now we’re seeing why he was offered such a position in the first place: his composition (I’ve Got) Questions About Heaven has made it to the semi-finals of the WorldVision Composers Contest.
The competition is presented by CLASSIC@HOME, a digital platform for artistic exchange created in March of 2020 in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. The service initially served to make classical concerts available online during lockdown. The German company has continued to offer competitions, educational resources, and booking resources since then.
The grand prize winner of the competition will receive 10, 000 €. The winner’s composition will be performed by Nova Orchester Wien (NOW!), conducted by William Garfield Walker, during the final concert of the Worldvision Music Contest in the Konzerthaus Vienna in Vienna, Austria.
Maxfield wrote his piece for and about his grandparents. “They were the world’s best cheerleaders when my siblings and I were young and learning music,” he says. “In fact, they probably came to more shows at Velour in their 70’s and 80’s than most people my age and younger do! In the piece, you’ll hear different vignettes representing my memories and feelings and questions. Hearing this piece in Vienna would be a total delight and would be a way to celebrate the memory of these people I loved (and love) so much.”
Andrew Maxfield already won the regional and national portions of the competition and is representing the United States during the international semi-finals. Winning the popular vote increases Maxfield’s chances of moving on to the finals. Join us in supporting a talented local composer by voting for him here. Take a screenshot once you voted and show it to Pioneer Book in downtown Provo for a buy one get one free deal. You can hear (I’ve Got) Questions About Heaven below.

04:57 minutes Victorian growers share their experiences with early crop irrigation practices.
Before the development of farm dams and computerised permanent sprinkler systems, early growers hand watered winter crops or were busy moving heavy hoses and pipes by hand every 2-3 hours..
To conserve expensive town water, much of this work was done at night with growers shifting hoses and surviving with little sleep … unless it rained.
Permanent sprinkler systems were introduced from WA by Harry Goodrich and Les Allen in the 1960’s with Russell Lamattina leading the way with computerised irrigation control systems in the 1980’s.
Interviews with Rob Allen, Angelo Taranto, Luis Gazzola, Geoff Corrigan and Peter Schreurs.

The village of Skelton-in-Cleveland has a documented history that spans eleven centuries. That history, and its associated heritage, is explored in this book. It has been produced by members of Skelton History Group for the Skelton Townscape Heritage project, which provided the financial support. The chapters cover topics such as:
- The Victorian shopping experience
- The heritage displayed on the mosaic mural
- The archaeology of the medieval borough
- The fun of a medieval-themed summer’s fete
- The varied architecture within the Conservation Area
- The creation of the trail of twenty-seven mosaics
- The arrival and impact of the railways
- The social changes experienced by the families of the ironstone miners, who came by the thousand to work “down the pit”
Published: 15th February 2021
In 2016, a project began in Skelton-in-Cleveland, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Its primary objective was to improve the appearance of the High Street, creating a look that better reflected its heritage. A programme of supporting activities ran alongside the High Street renovation. These investigated other aspects of the village’s history and heritage, making some of it visible to residents and visitors through mosaics and this book.
Skelton History Group was formed in the summer of 2012. From the outset, the members were adamant that they wanted to do their own research rather than listen to others talk about what they had done. Based in the council-run library, the group staged numerous exhibitions there. However, this is their first venture, as a group, into publishing the results of their research in book form.

The New Fabrics and Mix-and-Match Systems: The Next Big Thing in Data Center Servers?
If you’ve wondered about the new fabric efforts undertaken by the Gen-Z, OpenCAPI and CCIX consortia – if you’ve wondered what it all means – here's a way to look at the problem they're taking on: it's akin to pre- and post-EU Europe. Before the EU, financial transactions that crossed national borders came with a currency fees, impeding trade; after the EU, a common currency enabled money movement without added cost, promoting commerce. In the same way, data center server computing today is a multi-protocol Tower of Babel, a myriad of data communications formats within the processor and among systems components requiring "translation" overhead that drains compute resources (and boosts energy consumption) from the analytics workload at hand.
That’s what the three fabric consortia have set out to address, and if they achieve their visions, advanced scale servers in cloud and on-prem data centers could be on the cusp of major change.
To gain better understanding of the emerging fabrics we turned to Bob Sorensen, VP of research and technology at analyst firm Hyperion Research. Before speaking with him, we had already grasped that the fabric projects were onto to something important, that they have impressive membership rosters stocked with industry leaders (though not Intel, more on that below), and that they could take strides toward achieving the vaunted goal of data-centric, or memory-centric, computing, in which processing is bumped from the top spot of the computing hierarchy and placed more at a peer level with other system functions, where a range of general purpose and accelerated architectures can be used simultaneously, according to workload need, while larger masses of data are flashed around the system placing more information in live memory.
We turned to Sorensen’s talent as a technology translator because articles we’ve seen about the new fabrics usually dive headlong into the technical tall weeds, overgrown with talk of “memory semantic access to data and devices via direct-attached, switched or fabric topologies” and “high-speed processor expansion bus standard.” If that’s your cup of technology content tea, cool. But if you’re interested in more of a primer, read on.
According to Sorensen, the new fabrics are an attempt to overcome current barriers to baseline communication needs within systems.
“There are so many different components,” Sorensen said, “of processors, GPUs, of other types of accelerators, like FPGAs, and then a plethora of memory capabilities, like PDR4, NVRAM, burst buffers that are specialized kinds of memory, then you’ve got solid state disk (storage) and traditional file system.
“The ability to connect all those things in an efficient way is relatively complicated. For example, you’ve got NVMe, which is kind of PCI Express for non-volatile memory, so that’s different from if you’re talking to DRAM memory, and different if you’re talking to solid state disk. So there’s all these protocols that are clogging up the system right now because you’re talking to different kinds of devices and treating them differently… The communications overhead is considerable because the protocols all evolved differently, it mucks up the system. It’s like an exercise in communications at the U.N.”
So the fabric consortia are developing on a common language that enable users to plug in the CPU of choice, the GPU of choice, the memory system of choice, a common language that allows vendors and systems suppliers to build systems without spending time, effort and money on “translation” software overhead.
“By the same token,” Sorensen added, “the component vendors can ultimately broaden their market because they don’t have to be locked into one particular series of vendors, or a particular series of standards, or (worry about) the cost of supporting a number of standards. They’d love to see all this become very, very simple.”
Along with new server platforms from the likes of Dell EMC (a Gen-Z member), the intended flexibility of the new fabrics is a major potential attraction.
“The whole mix-and-match issue becomes that much more simple,” Sorensen said, “and in theory it offers significant performance capabilities because now you don’t have to have a bunch of translators standing around the Tower of Babel, because everyone kind of speaks the same language, the translation overhead goes away. So it offers a generality in architectures, but it also offers a significant performance improvement because you just don’t have to deal with the overhead of managing the various languages that each device requires today.”
For moving data within the system, adoption of high speed communications links, such as NVLink, developed by OpenCAPI member Nvidia (and also adopted within the Gen-Z standard) and offering greater bandwidth than PCIe, is a critically important feature for achieving data, or memory, centrism in support of data-intensive HPDA (high performance data analytics) and machine learning.
Sorensen cited a recent visit to Oak Ridge National Labs and a discussion he had with managers of the Titan supercomputer, hamstrung by an interconnect bus not suited for the data-intensive demands of the system.
“For the earlier Titan system their interconnect scheme was basically PCI Express, which they referred to as ‘the straw,’ transferring data back and forth through a straw,” he said, “whereas now the GPUs and CPUs are talking to each other through NVLink… They can take that to its logical extension with some of these things. I think what it offers is the ability for people to look at their memory and processing requirements and put together a system that meets their needs in a more customized mode, and also with better performance.”
He also cited ORNL’s IBM-OpenPOWER-Nvidia-based Summit system, the no. 1 ranked supercomputer in the world, according to the latest Top500 listing, as a harbinger of things to come.
“The fact that there’s so many options now for interesting kinds of memory – if you look at a Summit node, it has GDR4 DRAM, it’s got high bandwidth memory and it’s got persistent memory, so each node has three different types of memory. That, in the old days, all would have been DRAM. But now because of performance characteristics, cost concerns and systems architecture, you can use different kinds of memory nowadays to meet different computational requirements.”
Notable by its absence from the memberships from all three consortia is Intel, whose Scalable Systems Framework and Omni-Path high performance communication architecture are efforts by the chip giant deliver on many of the same objectives. But a driving ethic of the consortia is the embrace of more systems component flexibility outside of the Intel infrastructure.
“If you look behind the scenes at all this,” said Sorensen, “a lot of these are efforts to break a little bit out of the Intel dominance, with Intel defining the interconnects. Because if you buy Intel components, they come with things like Intel Quickpath, which is what connects the processors and accelerators. They’re looking at Omni-Path, which is perhaps more network-centric, for connectivity. These alternate suppliers – IBM and AMD, and Mellanox, and even some of the data center suppliers – they’re looking for more choices, more options, to kind of offer products outside the Intel domain. I think that’s driving some of this standardization issues as well.”
In some respects, Sorensen said, Intel isn’t only in conflict with other server and components suppliers, the company is also dealing with “the procurement power of the cloud services companies (FANG) and hyperscalers.
“They want to have the option to build the kind of servers they see serving their customers, and (they want to break out of) the idea of locking into a single vendor… Intel’s made it pretty clear they’d like to be viewed as a data center supplier, not just as a chip supplier. That, I think, creates a certain amount of angst with the large user base of the data center folks, who’d much rather have the ability to mix and match at every level, for price and performance reasons.”
Sorensen declined to pick a winner among the three consortia, stating it’s too early to know. He did, however, note that there is potential for the consortia to duplicate efforts and to come into conflict.
“They’re all relatively new, and they have somewhat different technical specifications and different ideas of where they want to go,” he said. “Each have various traits and weaknesses. What I hope is there’s an emerging confluence of interests between them…, as opposed to these three organizations stove-piping themselves, because the last thing we want to see is more fragmentation here.”
He did venture, in general terms, that “perhaps the winner is the most inclusive, and the one that tries to steal a march and take ownership of all of this is the one I think is going to be frowned upon the most.”

In Memory of Ambrose, the inspiration for my collars.
The tag spot makes all the difference.
After owning and fostering many dogs, using many different collars one thing I was sure of was that Martingales were superior in the collar world, but lacked one thing… a special spot for the tag. After trial and error I came up with the solution, and were the first to utilize this hardware on collars especially for pet tags. I wasn’t sure if it would take, or if people would be as crazy about it as I was but the proof was in my brand reps who tested and gave the thumbs up.
Owning a collar made especially from Evergreen & Rain, you are owning the hardwork, endless trial and error, the many sleepless nights, and proud success of a small business owning Latina Womxn.
Adopted from Small dog rescue of New England at 6 months old. She was found roaming the streets of Texas and was taken in by their rescue partner. She is my heart dog! When I adopted her she brought back life to my product vision. She is so smart and knows so many tricks. Her favorite thing is running down to the river and running into the water. She was always meant to be a salty dog and enjoys life in maine. Snow has been her favorite thing to play in as she can stay out for hours in it if I let her.

What is the sense in Memphis City Schools surrendering its charter to merge with the county schools? What makes people think a larger district will solve the ills of MCS?
It can't be money. For every $1 the county spends on new buildings, it has to give the city schools $3. The county is $1 billion in debt because of this ridiculous formula. How does this make up for segregation?
Where I hail from, all school districts are taxing authorities. Before a new school is built, a bond issue is voted on by the voters in the district, not by the board of education. The voters choose to encumber themselves with the debt and the higher tax rate that results, not some elected board. As a result, schools are as needed and not Taj Mahals.
School districts were small and personal so people took a real interest in their district and were not just part of some huge monolithic, professionally managed district that was not accountable to the voters. Voters ran for the school boards because they cared about their children's education and not just for power or influence, which results from an MCS -- or even an SCS, for that matter.
Shelby County needs about eight special school districts, not just one. This issue needs to be vetted and considered from an outside-the-box perspective, rather than emulating what other Tennessee districts have done. Let's see what districts in other states have done before we make a knee-jerk, politically driven change.

Uturu Council of Traditional Rulers in Isuikwuato Local Government Area of the State has adopted Governor Okezie Victor Ikpeazu as their sole candidate in the 2019 gubernatorial election.
They also invited the Governor over to Uturu for a grand civic reception on any date that is convenient for the Governor
Speaking while receiving the Traditional Rulers in the Executive Chambers of Government House, Umuahia. Governor Okezie Ikpeazu assured them that he has no problem with the Uturu people as he has a relationship with the people.
The Governor used the opportunity to assure that Isuikwuato Water Board Committee would be set up. This he said would ensure that issues surrounding Uturu water scheme are duly handled.
According to Dr. Ikpeazu, plans are on top gear to arrest the erosion menace in Uturu and other parts of Isuikwuato. He also informed that their ring roads would be fixed . He further enjoined them to carefully approach their Umunneochi brethren on the issue of power shift on Federal House of Representatives.
Earlier, the leader of the delegation Eze Silas Chukwu and Eze Cletus Ogbonnaya appreciated the Governor for appointing their sons and daughters, including Lady Loveth Ufoegbu, Hon. Osita Igbe of the immediate past cabinet and his assistance in ensuring that Uturu clan produces a Local Government Area Chairman, an opportunity that eluded them for decades.
They said they were in Government House to show their unalloyed support of the current zoning of governorship in the State and said the Abia South should complete its second term.
The monarchs disclosed that they rose from a meeting to adopt Dr. Ikpeazu who has been adopted by Uturu people as their sole candidate for 2019 governorship elections, saying that he deserves the second tenure.
They requested the Governor to fix their ring roads, revisit the water scheme and assist in ensuring a power shift from from Umunneochi to Isuikwuato in the House of Representatives seat which Umunneochi has occupied for close to 12 years now.
Uturu clan is the home- town of Dr. Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah.


Alabama Soccer Falls To Florida
"It was a good game," Alabama head coach Todd Bramble said. "Florida is a great team and I'm just proud of how our team battled tonight. It was a very even first half and I think they took the game over a little bit in the second half, but once they got the goal, I was proud of how we fought back. We tried to manufacture a couple of chances at the end to tie it up again."
After the two teams played even for 80 minutes, the No. 4 seeded Gators (16-6-0) scored in the 81st minute on a Lindsay Thompson goal to take the 2-1 lead. The goal proved to be the decisive blow as the Tide went on the offensive in the final minutes but could not crack the Gator defense.
Alabama scored the first goal of the match on a hard earned corner that was set up by junior defender Ashley Willis. In the 33rd minute, freshman forward Pia Rijsdijk buried a Janea Simpson pass that was created on a pass into the box from Willis.
Rijsdijk, with her back to goal, made a quick turn from seven yards out and found net far post off a quick one-touch pass from Simpson. The goal was her fifth on the season.
The lead did not last long though as 40 seconds later Erika Tymrak broke through the Alabama defense and buried a close look from seven yards out.
Florida outshot Alabama, 19-7, with Tymrak leading all players with five shots. Theresa Diederich paced the Tide with two attempts. Senior Justine Bernier capped off the night with a game-high eight saves.
The semifinal appearance at the SEC tournament was just the third in program history. The 10 wins are the most for Alabama since 2004. UA has finished .500 or better in three of the four seasons under Bramble.
At 10-8-3 the Crimson Tide will be looking to earn its first berth into the NCAA tournament since 1998. Alabama has earned quality wins over South Carolina, Auburn, Tennessee, and San Diego State. The NCAA Division I Women's Soccer selection show will air live on NCAA.com at 3:30 p.m. CT, on Monday.
