There are various types of kernel drivers; the first that come to mind are device drivers that provide a software interface to hardware devices like plug and play interfaces or filter drivers. These ...

Dr. James McCaffrey from Microsoft Research presents a complete end-to-end demonstration of Nadaraya-Watson kernel regression using the C# language. NW kernel regression is simple to implement and is ...

Large language models (LLMs) by themselves are less than meets the eye; the moniker “stochastic parrots” isn’t wrong. Connect LLMs to specific data for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and you get ...

There's growing interest in a new type of software for Linux machines called BPF, which allows the user to run a program in the kernel and enjoy "observability super powers", according to Brendan ...

In context: Linux offers developers and engineers a means to "tune" its operations, providing thousands of individual parameters that can adjust how the open-source kernel manages resources. Tuning ...

Microsoft’s Semantic Kernel SDK makes it easier to manage complex prompts and get focused results from large language models like GPT. At first glance, building a large language model (LLM) like GPT-4 ...

For three decades, Linux has been written in the programming language C. But change could be coming. There's growing momentum behind an effort to make programming language Rust a second language to C ...

In the machine learning world, the sizes of artificial neural networks — and their outsize successes — are creating conceptual conundrums. When a network named AlexNet won an annual image recognition ...
