孙宏斌与柳传志的恩怨情仇

这篇《新京报·书评周刊》的文章,很有标题党的感觉:入狱那一年,孙宏斌与柳传志发生了什么事?

4月7日下午,柳传志出手,集合企业部全体人员宣布:开除“勺园发难”最激烈的两个人,封存企业部下属的分公司账号,请公安局的人保卫公司安全。柳传志亲自任企业部经理,孙宏斌即刻离开原职,到业务部去。

这是类似“紧急状态”下的决定。会场气氛肃杀,已宣布被开除的人同企业部所有人一样,把胳膊抱在胸前,以一种姿势朝着柳传志。室内香烟缭绕,许多人吸烟。孙宏斌大喝一声:把手放下!抱着的手放下了。又喝一声:把烟掐了!又都一同灭了烟。又喊:起立!都起立了,像斯巴达方阵。

不能不佩服孙宏斌的“带兵”能力,能把一个部门带成像斯巴达方阵一样,整个集团绝无仅有,也难怪他成绩斐然,战功卓著,心高气盛。

当然,这是最后的辉煌。

英特尔的数据中心保卫战

对英特尔来说,尽管人工智能、自动驾驶是发力方向,但数据中心市场依然是其重要的利润来源,本周英特尔发布了全新架构的服务器处理芯片

Navin Shenoy, the new manager of Intel’s data center group, called the launch the company’s “biggest data center platform announcement in a decade” at an event in New York.

Intel dominates the market for processors used by the big cloud computing companies as well as companies that manage their own infrastructure, with more than 95 percent of this business. Google has been running these processors on production workloads for customers since February, it said during the event, and Amazon Web Services also touted its support for the new chips when it comes to machine learning workloads.

For this generation of its flagship Xeon chips, Intel changed the way it manages the flow of data across different parts of the processor. The chip maker used to route data around its multicore processors with a “ring architecture,” which forced data to basically do a lap around the chip to reach a processing core or memory interconnect on the other side, said Lisa Spelman, vice president of Intel’s Data Center Group. Now it is employing a “mesh architecture” that lets data flow directly between cores.

被云计算杀死的两个巨人:IBM 和 Oracle

云计算快速发展带来的是传统 IT 支出的减少,从而让 IBM、Oracle 陷入困境

As more and more companies transition to the cloud, Oracle and IBM may find themselves in a fight for the bottom.

The two technology vendors are set to lose out considerably in IT budgets over the next three years as the result of the shift to cloud, according to the June AlphaWise/Morgan Stanley CIO report. CIOs expect that 46% of their workloads will be in the cloud by the end of 2020, while only 34% will be on-premise.
