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.

Syntiant Achieves 50% Acceleration of Large Language Models for Edge Devices

IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Syntiant Corp., a leader in edge AI deployment, today announced results of its first optimizations that reduce the computational footprint of leading large language model (LLM) architectures, enabling these massive neural networks to run on cloud-free, always-on devices at the edge of networks.

“We are focused on making edge AI a reality, bringing low power, highly accurate intelligence to edge devices,” said Kurt Busch, CEO at Syntiant. “Our core model optimizations enable considerable processing time acceleration across a range of compute platforms. Those same optimizations, which Syntiant has deployed across millions of devices worldwide, have been successfully applied to LLMs, bringing conversational speech to the edge, serving as the new interface between humans and machines.”

Syntiant used a novel algorithm to determine the sparsity fraction of LLMs to generate significant speedups in output token generation and reduce memory footprint. The company achieved 50% sparsity with minimal accuracy loss when computing with 8- bit quantized weights, significantly improving interpretability and processing power, while reducing cloud costs. These improvements, along with a custom SIMD (single instruction/multiple data) kernel and several other algorithmic innovations, enable Syntiant to achieve a 50% increase in output token generation speed on a LLaMa-7B benchmark.

“Syntiant continues to lead the category of low power NLP with production-ready solutions that directly address voice AI workload efficiency and could enable smarter conversational endpoints with generative AI. At M12, Microsoft’s Venture Fund, we’re proud to back Syntiant who we feel will help establish a ‘first mile’ standard for future speech-to-speech AI use cases,” said Michael Stewart, partner at M12.

Demoed live at CES 2024 in Las Vegas, Syntiant’s optimizations demonstrate an adjacent class of LLMs that run entirely at the edge. The ability to enable significant processing time acceleration brings meaningful benefits to end users from both latency and privacy perspectives, across a wide variety of consumer and commercial use cases, from earbuds to automobiles.

CES 2024
Syntiant will be demonstrating its latest innovations for edge-deployed deep learning solutions for always-on vision, audio and sensing applications at the Venetian Palazzo Hospitality Suites from January 9-12. Visit www.syntiant.com or contact info@syntiant.com to schedule a demo of the company’s technology being deployed in smart homes, teleconferencing solutions and event detection devices, among other use cases.
