Chrome OS’s cycle is shortened to once every four weeks. Previously, Google usually released updates for Chrome browser with a 6-week cycle. However, in March 2021, Google announced about shortening the update time to improve gaps and patch bugs. For more than a decade, every six weeks, Chrome has hit a new milestone, bringing security, stability, speed, and simplicity to users and the web. In addition, Google’s shortening time is also to match the cycle of other competitors, like FireFox, which shortened the time to release new updates by month starting last year. Due to this schedule, Google will actually skip one of the scheduled Chrome OS updates. Accordingly, Google will switch directly from version M94 to M96, skipping M95. The new schedule does not apply to enterprise and educational systems. These systems will have an update schedule once every six months. Google promises to have more details on this soon.

Viettel officially operates a system of 20 million billion calculations per second, the largest in Vietnam today (Photo: Dieu Linh) With 20 PetaFlops (20 million billion operations/second), the system reduces the time to train machine learning by dozens of times, can train many concurrent models in parallel, with high complexity. This system also trains continuous model improvement, shortening the time to improve the quality of artificial intelligence models. Supercomputers are invested with computational acceleration technologies, switching devices and synchronous software, similar to those of the world’s top 500 supercomputers. Putting the system into operation marks a new development step for Viettel in realizing Decision 127/QD-TTg dated January 26, 2021 of the Prime Minister promulgating the national strategy on research and development. development and application of artificial intelligence by 2030. According to Mr. Nguyen Dinh Chien, Deputy General Director of Viettel Group, Viettel is determined to invest in artificial intelligence, which is an important field to carry out its pioneering and key mission of creating a digital society. This investment allows Viettel to unleash its creativity, attract leading experts in the industry, as well as be ready to take on great tasks of the country.

The high-performance computing system is invested by Viettel and implemented artificial intelligence projects. Viettel Cyberspace Center (a member of the Military Industry and Telecommunications Group) has officially operated the high-performance computing system at Viettel Data Center. This is a turning point that helps Viettel improve its computing capacity to build and operate more complex artificial intelligence models in a short time. The investment Viettel system has the leading computing performance in Vietnam, reaching 20 PetaFlops (20 million billion calculations per second), which reduces the time to train machine learning dozens of times. As a result, Viettel Cyber ​​Center can simultaneously train many artificial intelligence models with high complexity. This system also trains continuous model improvement, shortening the time to improve the quality of artificial intelligence models. The supercomputer invested by Viettel uses computational acceleration technologies, switches and synchronous software, similar to the technology of supercomputers in the world’s top 500. Putting the system into operation marks a new development step for Viettel in realizing the Decision on promulgating the national strategy on research, development and application of artificial intelligence by 2030, issued by the Prime Minister. issued on January 26th. Viettel aims to play a key role in applying artificial intelligence in the military and defense sectors, as well as in the fields of data safety, cybersecurity, urban management, and social management. society and public administration, and areas of social life. Mr. Nguyen Dinh Chien, Deputy General Director of Viettel Group assessed: “Viettel is determined to invest in artificial intelligence, which is an important field to carry out its pioneering mission and key to creating a digital society. This investment will allow Viettel to unleash its creativity, attract leading experts in artificial intelligence, ready to take on the country’s big tasks in artificial intelligence.”
