About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) Selects SambaNova AI to Accelerate Scientific Research

TACC deploys SambaNova Suite to host models trained on world-leading supercomputers to integrate AI inference into their research process

SC24 SambaNova, the generative AI company offering the most efficient AI chips and fastest models, announces that the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC), one of the world’s leading supercomputing centers, is deploying SambaNova Suite to enhance its AI capabilities for scientific research applications. TACC will deploy SambaNova Suite, powered by SambaNova DataScale systems, to provide high performance generative inference services through the innovative Composition of Experts (CoE) framework.

“This is the next step in the evolution of what our users expect from our computing services,” stated Dan Stanzione, Executive Director at TACC and Associate Vice President for Research at The University of Texas at Austin. “Our mission has always been to provide the full computing ecosystem that scientists want and need. And that is evolving into something more interactive and reliant on AI. We think it could be a fundamental shift in how the scientific community interacts with computing.”

“We operate a heterogeneous computing environment at TACC. SambaNova will be our platform for inference on scientific applications,” Stanzione said. “We will use SambaNova Suite to host the models we’ve trained on traditional supercomputers to integrate AI inference into the science workflow.”

The organization is leveraging SambaNova’s Composition of Experts (CoE) framework, within SambaNova Suite, to enable the use of many AI models at once, both directly from the SambaNova interface and via its API. Eventually, TACC’s platform will host specialized scientific models directly with the ability to conduct inference as part of the research process.

“SambaNova is delivering the highest efficiency for inferencing open-source frontier models at levels of accuracy that are unattainable elsewhere. With our technology deployed, TACC will be able to provide state-of-the-art AI inference services to their users,” said Marshall Choy, SVP of Product at SambaNova Systems. “We’re pleased to announce our partnership with TACC to accelerate their efforts in AI for scientific research.”

TACC is home to Frontera, the most powerful supercomputer running on a university campus in the U.S., and its supercomputers are used every year for thousands of different simulations, modeling, and data analysis projects. It is also home to the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Leadership-Class Computing Facility (LCCF), which will begin operation in 2026. LCCF will form a key plank of the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR), an NSF-led initiative coordinated across several federal agencies to accelerate the research and development environment for AI in the U.S.
