in-between
Accelerating Open Source

● Code is open
● Collaborative development
● Open Source Development has two models
○ Cathedral Model: Source code is available with each software release
○ Bazaar Model: Code is developed over the internet in view of the public
● Any kind of help beneﬁcial for the Open Source is called Contribution
● Open source is karma based. The more you contribute the more your voice is heard in
the community
● Open Source is Not always Free Software. Open Source have a license to share the
code - GPL and LGPL
What is Open source ?

● How many times you have heard that a proprietary software was hacked and millions
of credit card data and user data was leaked ?
● Corporates can now get beneﬁt of free contributions from the public
● Open source could be fundamental block for many proprietary softwares
● Millions of developers make full time living on open source.
● Companies look for top contributors and hire them (Of course, top pay ! )
● 95% of Linaro is remote workforce
● Open source may not give the same support as closed source
Use of Open source

Technology trends, disruptions and Opportunities

● Linux is Open Source
● Android is Open Source
● Github, GitLab are repositories of all open source code
● Single company can not compete with the speed of development
● 99% of Fortune 500 companies use Open Source
● Over 140 million open source projects are in Github. In the 50 million had been added
just last year
● Over 40 million developers in just Github
● Red Hat was ﬁrst company to build successful business model on open source
● Even Hardware designs are now open source. Refer: OCP
Rise of Open Source

+ =

● Collaborate with Big Data and Data Science software vendors, ARM hardware vendors
(Qualcomm, Huawei, Marvell, ARM, etc) and the open source community
● Prioritize work based on industry wants, community requirement and software and
hardware vendor requirements
● Lead (Maintainer) of various open source projects.
● As a side effect, i also get to test pre-production hardware from various vendors from
Supercomputers to data center hardware to IoT devices
Getting paid to do Open Source ?

NLP

● Data Science - Tensorflow, Pytorch, Keras, Pandas, MxNet, etc
Cutting Edge

● HyperAutomation - Everything that can be automated from task based
automation to AI Based process automation
Cutting Edge

● Edge / IoT
Cutting Edge

● By end of 2020, some 50 billion smart devices will be
connected, along with additional billions of smart sensors,
ensuring that the global supply of data will continue to
more than double every two years.
● Through 2028, Gartner expects a steady increase in the
embedding of sensor, storage, compute and advanced AI
capabilities in edge devices. Mesh architectures will
enable more flexible, intelligent and responsive, and
peer-to-peer IoT systems.
Edge / IoT

● Edge / IoT
● Fog Computing
Cutting Edge

Fog Computing - Micro Data centers

● Edge / IoT
● Fog Computing
● HPC - High Performance Computing / Supercomputers
● AI Security
Cutting Edge

HPC are not commonly available to enterprises and in cloud
HPC with Custom built CPUs, GPUs, Accelerators (TPUs) are changing the datacenter (cloud)
HPC has a learning curve (ﬁlesystem, architecture)
HPCs are best suited for AI and analytical work
HPC + AI

● Everything AI First
● Human Augmentation - Human + AI
○ Hyper Intelligence - New kind of symbiosis for Enhancement of human
cognitive and physical capabilities and capacity
○ Multi experience - The ability to communicate with users across many
senses
○ Symbiotic with AI - Brain and computer interface / extensions
● Quantum Computing
Bleeding Edge

Hyper Intelligence - New kind of Symbiosis

● MIT AlterEgo
● Google Duplex
● Google Deepmind
● IBM Project Debater
● Boston Dynamics
● Elon Musk’s Neurolink
AI advancements

IBM and Google have already built Quantum Computers
Quantum computers uses Qubits instead of bits
Quantum computing will NOT replace current computing
technology
Google announced that its quantum computer will be 100
million times faster than any classical computer
