Proteins are large biomolecules that play an important role in the body. Knowing the physical structure of proteins is key to understanding their function. However, it can be difficult and expensive to determine the structure of many proteins experimentally. One alternative is to predict these structures using machine learning algorithms. Several high-profile research teams have […]

Introduction Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) is an architecture concept in the telecom industry to enforce state-of-the-art technologies onto servers, network devices, and storage, in order to virtualize Network Functions (NFs). These days, multiple service providers are conceiving their virtual NFs (VNFs) in AWS, and this trend is accelerating further with containerized NFs (CNFs) and 5G. […]

In the training of a machine learning (ML) model, the quality of the model is directly proportional to the quality of data. However, in many cases, in consumer packaged goods (CPG) datasets, there are a lot of missing values affecting the quality of training and prediction in the long run. If your models are already […]

Opportunity at the intersection of demand and supply Complexity and volatility characterized the consumer-packaged goods (CPG) and retail industries even before the pandemic impacted all of us. According to a Boston Consulting Group study, the associated opportunity loss due to complex and volatile business is estimated to be 8–10 percent, and poor anticipation of demand […]

Welcome back to the Financial Services Industry (FSI) Service Spotlight monthly blog series. Each month we look at five key considerations that FSI customers should focus on to help streamline cloud service approval for one particular service. Each of the five key considerations includes specific guidance, suggested reference architectures, and technical code that can be […]

In this blog post, we experiment with the Bitcoin Blockchain on AWS and demonstrate how to set up a Bitcoin Node on AWS that can be used to send and receive bitcoin from an external wallet. Before we start with the technical setup, let’s go over the potential of this technology. The history and opportunity […]

DISH Network is deploying the first stand-alone, cloud-native, autonomous 5G network. The company envisions a complete cloud-native 5G network with all its functions, except minimal components of the Radio Access Network (RAN), running in the cloud with fully automated network deployment and operations. In this blog post, we describe DISH’s approach to building a scalable […]

Introduction Workbench testing is a key step in the manufacturing of semiconductor chips. Testing consists of sending electrical signals to semiconductor devices and comparing output signals to expected values. It is essential to ensure that the produced devices work according to specifications. Workbench testing is also time consuming and costly, so we do not want […]

Ecommerce is Becoming Ever More Important According to this Forbes article from April 2021, global ecommerce sales were expected to reach $4.2 trillion, and “surveys of consumers in the United Kingdom, Japan, and the United States showed online shopping is becoming the preferred method of grocery shopping for a growing number of consumers.” While that […]

In this edition of Financial Services Industry (FSI) Services Spotlight monthly blog series, we highlight five key considerations for customers running workloads on AWS Lambda: achieving compliance, data protection, isolation of compute environments, audits with APIs, and access control/security. Across each area, we will examine specific guidance, suggested reference architectures, and technical code to help […]
