Threads and Virtual Threads: Demystifying the World of Concurrency In Modern Times

Due to their ability to enable parallelism and asynchronous execution, threads have an essential role in efficiently utilizing multi-core processors. Without them, handling concurrent tasks in modern applications like real-time inference in IoT or Asynchronous I/O in AI/ML would neither be feasible nor imaginable. The arrival of virtual threads has further grown such possibilities by eliminating the sole dependency on operating system threads.

What CXOs Should Learn from the Gartner Hype Cycle: AI, Clouds, Security and More

Making informed decisions on technology adoptions and ensuring the sustained growth and relevance of the organization in the market has never been more exciting than in the current times we live in. The Gartner hype cycle is a valuable tool in this pursuit with all its insights into the timing, adoption, and potential benefits of various technologies.

Fueling Enterprise Generative AI with Data: The Cornerstone of Differentiation

More than two-thirds of companies are currently using Generative AI (GenAI) models, such as large language models (LLMs), which can understand and generate human-like text, images, video, music, and even code. However, the true power of these models lies in their ability to adapt to an enterprise’s unique context. By leveraging an organization’s proprietary data, GenAI models can produce highly relevant and customized outputs that align with the business’s specific needs and objectives.

Next-Gen Customer Loyalty Programs with Data Streaming

Buy 10 sandwiches, get 1 free. Classic punch cards (and fishing for them in your wallet or occasionally misplacing one) have become a thing of the past, as today's digital landscape demands more innovative solutions. Today’s customer loyalty programs are increasingly sophisticated—evolving, proliferating, and diversifying across every industry from retail, travel, and hospitality to healthcare (e.g., a discount for paying within 30 days of a hospital visit).

Snowflake ML Now Supports Expanded MLOps Capabilities for Streamlined Management of Features and Models

Bringing machine learning (ML) models into production is often hindered by fragmented MLOps processes that are difficult to scale with the underlying data. Many enterprises stitch together a complex mix of various MLOps tools to build an end-to-end ML pipeline. The friction of having to set up and manage separate environments for features and models creates operational complexity that can be costly to maintain and difficult to use.
