"Eliminating the downsides of AI (...) is dwarfed by the massive need for additional computing power." Markus Staedeli in the NZZ highlights the growing demand for compute power, with predictions that the U.S. datacenter energy consumption alone could triple by 2030. As #AI drives unprecedented investment in datacenters, their #energy consumption and carbon emissions are skyrocketing – and the pressure on datacenters to optimize #efficiency and reduce emissions has never been greater. It’s high time to adopt comprehensive metrics that consider the full environmental impact of datacenter operations. Read the full article (in German) here:

Q.ANT, the German #quantumtechnology company, has taken a decisive step in revolutionizing entire industries with its #magneticfieldsensor, initiating a #paradigmshift in the realm of #HumanInterfaceTechnologies. More #precise than before, the company’s new #sensor can measure the finest #electricalcurrents via their #magneticfield, enabling native and intuitive access to #biosignals for the first time. The miniature sensor, which is suitable for everyday use, can, i.e., control #prostheses via #musclesignals and take #sensortechnology in #medicaltechnology to a new level. At the HANNOVER MESSE, Q.ANT demonstrated its further #capabilities and #industrialapplications that can benefit from it. #Quantumsensing is seen as a catalyst for #industrialprogress – next to #QuantumComputing. The company is at the forefront of both and is driving development activities to the point where they are ready for industrial application. One example is the magnetic field sensor. Stressing that quantum sensing is a game changer for the industry, Dr. Michael Förtsch, CEO, Q.ANT, says, “Our sensor can be used in a wide range of applications, including #medical, #electronics, and #automotive. It can be used to measure the finest #electricalcurrents and the resulting #magneticfields. We are creating something completely new that will shift the way we think about sensing in many industries. Applications range from the #qualityassurance of hard disks to the identification of fault currents in #powerchips or #batteries, and one day even #machines and devices will be able to be controlled by thought.” Q.ANT Dr. Michael Förtsch Dieter Jüptner HANNOVER MESSE Deutsche Messe AG https://lnkd.in/d7CnsTGK

Another post on 6G. Leave me alone with this insubstantial buzzword-bingo... Yes, 6G as a whole is still a future technology. Still, being involved in research and standardization is the basis for regaining digital souvereignity in mobile communications. Profound knowledge, strong research institutions and networked partnerships right from the beginning: We are starting from a vantage point and it's great to be part of the movement. Let's make 6G a success! 6G-life Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung CeTI 6G-Plattform

I think that's a good small example that Engineers like to do things that matter: Mohamed is studying computer engineering at Technische Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe in #Lemgo. He came to me and said he would like to do his bachelor thesis in the field of #IoT for sustainable #SmartCities. I explained to him that, in addition to the fascinating technologies involved, IoT is primarily about optimizing and new business processes. As he was interested in improving waste disposal, he took a very practical approach to identifying optimization potential and added value first. Stay tuned! #smartcity, Morgenstadt - City of the Future, Future City Solutions, Fraunhofer IOSB-INA, Innovation Campus Lemgo, Carsten Pieper, UN SDG Action Zone, urban-digital.de

Interesting paper on benchmarking: "Towards Robust Benchmarking of Quantum Optimization Algorithms" by David Bucher, Nico Kraus, Jonas Blenninger, Michael Lachner, Jonas Stein and Claudia Linnhoff-Popien Abstract: Benchmarking the performance of quantum optimization algorithms is crucial for identifying utility for industry-relevant use cases. Benchmarking processes vary between optimization applications and depend on user-specified goals. The heuristic nature of quantum algorithms poses challenges, especially when comparing to classical counterparts. A key problem in existing benchmarking frameworks is the lack of equal effort in optimizing for the best quantum and, respectively, classical approaches. This paper presents a comprehensive set of guidelines comprising universal steps towards fair benchmarks. We discuss (1) application-specific algorithm choice, ensuring every solver is provided with the most fitting mathematical formulation of a problem; (2) the selection of benchmark data, including hard instances and real-world samples; (3) the choice of a suitable holistic figure of merit, like time-to-solution or solution quality within time constraints; and (4) equitable hyperparameter training to eliminate bias towards a particular method. The proposed guidelines are tested across three benchmarking scenarios, utilizing the Max-Cut (MC) and Travelling Salesperson Problem (TSP). The benchmarks employ classical mathematical algorithms, such as Branch-and-Cut (BNC) solvers, classical heuristics, Quantum Annealing (QA), and the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA).

Our DLR Institute for Software Technology recently had the privilege of co-organizing the Dagstuhl Seminar 24161 "Research Software Engineering: Bridging Knowledge Gaps" (April 14-19, 2024) at Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik (LZI). Main organizer Stephan Druskat (Institute for Software Technology, Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt e.V. (DLR)) and his co-organizers Daniel S. Katz (National Center for Supercomputing Applications, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, US), Caroline Jay (University of Manchester, UK) and Lars Grunske (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, DE) brought together experts from the research software engineering and software engineering research communities to foster collaboration and improve reciprocal knowledge transfer. Highlights of the seminar:  ✔️ Exchange on mutual topics in research software engineering and software engineering research ✔️ Throughout the seminar, we identified mutual benefits of closer collaboration, explored the different perspectives and approaches, and started hands-on collaboration in key topic areas such as research software lifecycles, architecture, usability and security, common terminologies, adoption of state-of-the-art software engineering methods, education and training, and community building. Research software engineering is practiced in the context of (academic) research and therefore has complex domain-specific issues and methodological requirements.  ✔️ "Better software for better research" ✔️ To build better software for better research, research software engineers require better knowledge about state-of-the-art software engineering methods and their application, that software engineering researchers can provide. Vice versa, the specific challenges in research software engineering are an interesting topic for software engineering research, and so both communities can benefit greatly from the reciprocal collaboration that was started at the seminar.   Alongside Stephan Druskat, our software experts Michael Felderer and Michael Meinel also participated in the seminar, contributing their knowledge and engaging in innovative discussions.    ✔️ The results ✔️ The outputs of the seminar collaborations will include position and research articles, but also digital community resources and common research programmes. Importantly, the continuation of the interdisciplinary collaborations and innovative discussions at the intersection between research software engineering and software engineering research in the (R)SE(R) community will shape the future of both disciplines. ✨ Thank you to all the participants and fellow organizers for making this seminar a success! We're excited to continue working together to advance the field of #ResearchSoftwareEngineering.
