AMD released Radeon Software Adrenalin 21.4.1 today, bringing a host of updates, improvements, and features to Radeon cards. On the list is AMD Link 4, which expands Radeon’s remote play application with a native Windows app, multiplayer streaming, and support for 144 frames per second (fps) and 5.1 surround sound. The biggest improvement is dynamic stream adjustment. Now, AMD Link will automatically detect your hardware and network conditions and adjust the stream accordingly. AMD claims its new streaming technology is “up to 60% better” after the company overhauled its streaming tech to lower latency. In a press briefing, AMD claimed Link’s player base “practically tripled” over the last year, causing the company to “go back and see what improvements [it] could bring to the AMD Link experience.” First up is a Windows application that allows you to connect to a computer with a supported Radeon card . The Windows app can launch games just like the previous version of AMD Link , … [Read more...] about AMD’s Link 4 brings a massive overhaul to its remote play software

Chinese Exascale Supercomputer Prototype Tested with AI Workloads
Chinese scientists have started to test a prototype of locally developed exascale supercomputer using convolutional neural networks (CNN) AI workloads. As reported by Next Platform the Tianhe-3 machine runs Armv8-based Phytium 2000+ (FTP) and the Matrix 2000+ (MTP) processors that were primarily designed for traditional supercomputing with full FP64 precision. Supercomputing and artificial intelligence are poised to become important competitive advantages that technologically developed companies and countries have against others in the coming years. Exascale supercomputers will be instrumental for traditional simulations, data analytics, and scientific discoveries, whereas AI supercomputers will be used for various pathfinding tasks, such as drug discovery or space exploration that do not necessarily require FP64 precision. The key thing is that to be competitive, supercomputing sites will need to support both AI and HPC workloads, which is why modern supercomputers use both CPUs … [Read more...] about Chinese Exascale Supercomputer Prototype Tested with AI Workloads
Windows 10’s Store May Open Up to More Games and Software Soon
Finding software via the Microsoft Store app for Windows 10 might be less painful soon. Windows Central today reported that Microsoft is redesigning the app to offer a better experience for developers and consumers alike with a variety of changes. Microsoft started distributing software via the Windows Store for Windows 10 in 2015. Then in 2017, it rebranded the platform to the Microsoft Store, and that version of the storefront hasn't changed much in the four years since its introduction. But that could be about to change. Windows Central said that Microsoft plans to change the Microsoft Store's user interface to better appeal to Windows 10 users while simultaneously introducing new policies to be more developer-friendly. Both aspects of that redesign will prove vital. Windows 10 users have little incentive to find apps on the Microsoft Store because it isn't comprehensive and, in many cases, it isn't much more convenient than simply downloading an ".exe" directly. … [Read more...] about Windows 10’s Store May Open Up to More Games and Software Soon
