Private Managed CA's Streamline Internal Server Certificate Management

The CA/BF, the governing body that manages the use of SSL certificates, has determined that public CAs will no longer issue certificates with internal names after November 2015. The logic for using SSL certificates has not changed, but organizations will have to adopt new ways of issuing them.
These rule changes do not mean that internal certificates are no longer available for use, only that public CAs cannot issue certificates with internal names that are not authenticated. Although running your own CA might sound appealing, to those inclined to the do-it-yourself (DIY) approach to IT operations, there are a number of factors to consider.

Chris Madison will do a deep dive into Watson's Question and Answer service available on IBM Bluemix.

In this video, Chris Madison will do a deep dive into Watson's Question and Answer service available on IBM Bluemix.
The step by step demonstration will give developers a foundational application that will take question inputs and receive back a JSON response from Watson that includes answers, confidence, and source. Using this service will allow developers to build applications that users can interact with Watson through explicit Q&A.

How to Bring New Life to Legacy C++ Code
Over time, it's inevitable that code must be reworked to meet new needs, whether to boost performance or to make it cleaner and more maintainable. See how to get started reworking your mountains of C++ legacy code, and bring them up to modern standards. Tell us what you think in the comments section on our story page.

This is something I’m going to cover in future articles in 2015, including a way that you can try out new technology such as AVX-512 even when your computer doesn’t support it. The tool we’ll be looking at is called Intel Software Development Emulator (SDE), which now has support for AVX-512 emulation. SDE itself is actually built using another tool from Intel called Pin, which is a tool for creating instrumentation and analysis tools.
Another thing we’ll look at in 2015 is how to actually test the accuracy of your modernizations. For example, from a mathematical perspective, if you start with a serial mathematical algorithm and spread it among multiple cores, you could potentially introduce precision errors that could radically alter the result of the operation. But another issue is optimization. If your code has been modernized to run on multiple cores, and later it runs on a machine with 60 cores, will it really run as optimally as it can? Or can you optimize it even further? These are all issues that play into the modernization of your code.
Finally, another thing we’ll look at this year is what is going on exactly at the Parallel Computing Centers. Much of the code they’re modernizing is free and open source and available. That will give us a chance to see what kind of work they’re doing, and to hopefully learn from their expertise. These modernizations are being implemented by software engineers with loads of experience in high-performance computing and parallel computing, and there is much we can learn from them. Also, as one final note, these centers are working in both C++ and Fortran, so there’s a lot to learn in both those languages.
Conclusion
This is going to be an exciting year for parallel and high-performance computing. Intel is working with centers all over the world, and new research will be coming out, with plenty of opportunities for us to learn as much as we can. And for many of you, that will mean enhancing your own career potential.

Intel is working with high-performance

Intel is working with high-performance computing facilities across the planet to establish Parallel Computing Centers. The goal is modernization. In this blog, Jeff Cogswell looks at what that means in terms of vectorization and multicore development, and considers how we can learn from the work of these centers.
Over the past decade, we have seen multicore processors become commonplace, with most computers today having at least a dual processor. While dual-core and quad-core processors are the norm for everyday computing, scientific and research applications often make use of more advanced processors such as many-core Xeon Phi processors.
Throughout 2014, Intel worked with universities and research institutions throughout the world to establish Intel Parallel Computing Centers. These are high-performance computing centers that already existed and received grants from Intel to take up the issue of modernization of software. But what exactly does modernization mean? In this case, it means improving legacy software to make use of parallel computing technology.
But this doesn’t just mean adapting software to multicore and quadcore processors. Rather, it means adapting software so that it can run on manycore computers, making use of whatever number of cores are available–whether a dual core or a cluster of Xeon Phi coprocessors, with upwards of thousands of cores.
