Characterizing SQL*Net latency in your application for Oracle Database@AWS migrations

Oracle Database@AWS places Oracle Exadata infrastructure inside AWS data centers, so SQL*Net latency between your application and the database can change after migration. This post presents the CRET methodology, a three-phase approach using AWR, Active Session History, and SQL Trace, to identify latency-sensitive SQL and quantify the impact before you migrate.

Real-Time Supply Chain Event Streaming With Kafka and Neo4j

In a previous article, we built a static supply chain graph in Neo4j using Apache Spark, with suppliers, warehouses, distribution centers, and retailers connected by shipping routes. That gave us a snapshot of the network at a point in time.  In this article, we'll add the streaming layer: shipment events flow through Confluent Cloud Kafka in real time, land in Neo4j as enriched graph properties, and a live dashboard shows network health updating as events arrive.

How AI Coding Agents Can Unlock Materials Simulation with NVIDIA ALCHEMI Toolkit

Atomistic simulation requires three things: knowledge of the science, compute-efficient implementation of simulations, and accessible interfaces to the... Atomistic simulation requires three things: knowledge of the science, compute-efficient implementation of simulations, and accessible interfaces to the simulation stack. The first remains the researcher’s domain, as no tool substitutes for knowing what to simulate or recognizing a physically meaningful result. NVIDIA ALCHEMI Toolkit, introduce
