They can be viewed here ** Notes from the Principal ** This has been an incredibly challenging time for all of us. Covid closures and the disruption of the pandemic have made our lives more difficult at and away from school. On top of the pandemic, our dedicated staff has also endured much loss and heartbreak. In the past several months, many of my colleagues have lost loved ones- cousins, siblings, parents, close friends, and more. While most of these losses are not Covid-related, they are nonetheless wrenching. The loss is even more challenging given our separation, and our inability to travel and grieve in community. I am proud of my colleagues and how they have supported one another through their recent losses, most of which you may not be aware of. Like many of you this year, they grieve and carry on. AND grief isn’t “one and done”. It “ambushes” us from time to time. It forces us to pay attention. Death and loss are awkward to talk about. But we tap into the well of empathy we are gifted with and support one another during this unique time of difficulty and uncertainty. And while we know “this, too, shall pass” it is okay to feel the losses and heartaches, and to receive the loving and tender support from others. For Grief by John O’Donohue When you lose someone you love, Your life becomes strange, The ground beneath you gets fragile, Your thoughts make your eyes unsure; And some dead echo drags your voice down Where words have no confidence. Your heart has grown heavy with loss; And though this loss has wounded others too, No one knows what has been taken from you When the silence of absence deepens. Flickers of guilt kindle regret For all that was left unsaid or undone. There are days when you wake up happy; Again inside the fullness of life, Until the moment breaks And you are thrown back Onto the black tide of loss. Days when you have your heart back, You are able to function well Until in the middle of work or encounter, Suddenly with no warning, You are ambushed by grief. It becomes hard to trust yourself. All you can depend on now is that Sorrow will remain faithful to itself. More than you, it knows its way And will find the right time To pull and pull the rope of grief Until that coiled hill of tears Has reduced to its last drop. Gradually, you will learn acquaintance With the invisible form of your departed; And, when the work of grief is done, The wound of loss will heal And you will have learned To wean your eyes From that gap in the air And be able to enter the hearth In your soul where your loved one Has awaited your return All the time. Warmly, Scott .

You can schedule periodic backups using the Provisioning UI (Schedule Backup Using the Provisioning User Interface, on page 5). There are two backup and restore scenarios; select the set of procedures that matches your scenario: • Backup and restore on a single machine, with the same installation or a new installation. For this scenario, see Schedule Backup Using the Provisioning User Interface, on page 5. Note When backing up files, you should place the files on a different file server. Also, you should burn the backup data onto a CD. Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning allows you to back up system data and restore it on a different system in the event of total system failure. To restore the backup from another system, the following prerequisites must be met: • Ensure that the server to which data is restored has the same MAC address as that of the system that was backed up (the IP address and the hostname can be different). • If you are unable to assign the MAC address of the original system (the one that was backed up) to another system, contact the Engineering Team for information on a new license file (for a new MAC address).

  • Parallel Processing Here at the School of Statistics
    Parallel Processing here at the School of Statistics Charles J. Geyer School of Statistics University of Minnesota http://www.stat.umn.edu/~charlie/parallel/ 1 • batch processing • R package multicore • R package rlecuyer • R package snow • grid engine (CLA) • clusters (MSI) 2 Batch Processing This is really old stuff (from 1975). But not everyone knows it. If you do the following at a unix prompt nohup nice -n 19 some job & where \some job" is replaced by an actual job, then • the job will run in background (because of &). • the job will not be killed when you log out (because of nohup). • the job will have low priority (because of nice -n 19). 3 Batch Processing (cont.) For example, if foo.R is a plain text file containing R commands, then nohup nice -n 19 R CMD BATCH --vanilla foo.R & executes the commands and puts the printout in the file foo.Rout. And nohup nice -n 19 R CMD BATCH --no-restore foo.R & executes the commands, puts the printout in the file foo.Rout, and saves all created R objects in the file .RData. 4 Batch Processing (cont.) nohup nice -n 19 R CMD BATCH foo.R & is a really bad idea! It reads in all the objects in the file .RData (if one is present) at the beginning. So you have no idea whether the results are reproducible. Always use --vanilla or --no-restore except when debugging. 5 Batch Processing (cont.) This idiom has nothing to do with R. If foo is a compiled C or C++ or Fortran main program that doesn't have command line arguments (or a shell, Perl, Python, or Ruby script), then nohup nice -n 19 foo & runs it.

  • Processes in Linux/Unix
    Processes in Linux/Unix A program/command when executed, a special instance is provided by the system to the process. This instance consists of all the services/resources that may be utilized by the process under execution. • Whenever a command is issued in unix/linux, it creates/starts a new process. For example, pwd when issued which is used to list the current directory location the user is in, a process starts. • Through a 5 digit ID number unix/linux keeps account of the processes, this number is call process id or pid. Each process in the system has a unique pid. • Used up pid’s can be used in again for a newer process since all the possible combinations are used. • At any point of time, no two processes with the same pid exist in the system because it is the pid that Unix uses to track each process. Initializing a process A process can be run in two ways: 1. Foreground Process : Every process when started runs in foreground by default, receives input from the keyboard and sends output to the screen. When issuing pwd command $ ls pwd Output: $ /home/geeksforgeeks/root When a command/process is running in the foreground and is taking a lot of time, no other processes can be run or started because the prompt would not be available until the program finishes processing and comes out. 2. Backround Process : It runs in the background without keyboard input and waits till keyboard input is required. Thus, other processes can be done in parallel with the process running in background since they do not have to wait for the previous process to be completed.

  • UNIQ: Uniform Noise Injection for Non-Uniform Quantization of Neural
    UNIQ:U NIFORM N OISE I NJECTIONFOR N ON -U NIFORM Q UANTIZATIONOF N EURAL N ETWORKS Chaim Baskin * 1 Eli Schwartz * 2 Evgenii Zheltonozhskii 1 Natan Liss 1 Raja Giryes 2 Alex Bronstein 1 Avi Mendelson 1 A BSTRACT We present a novel method for neural network quantization that emulates a non-uniform k-quantile quantizer, which adapts to the distribution of the quantized parameters. Our approach provides a novel alternative to the existing uniform quantization techniques for neural networks. We suggest to compare the results as a function of the bit-operations (BOPS) performed, assuming a look-up table availability for the non-uniform case. In this setup, we show the advantages of our strategy in the low computational budget regime. While the proposed solution is harder to implement in hardware, we believe it sets a basis for new alternatives to neural networks quantization. 1 I NTRODUCTION of two reduces the amount of hardware by roughly a factor of four.
