Keep track of your ride with a custom bike speedometer | Arduino Blog
Over on element14, Katie had been wanting to go for a short bike ride after finally getting it fixed. But she encountered a problem: the previously mounted speedometer had lost its display unit, meaning the entire thing was now useless. Rather than simply buying a new one, she had the idea to put together a DIY version that relies on GPS instead of counting wheel rotations to keep track of the current speed.
Component-wise, only a few modules were required to build this device. First was an Arduino Nano 33 IoT that handled communication and power between the screen and GPS module. Next was a GPS3 Click Board, which contains one of Quectel’s L80 GPS modules that provides accurate tracking information in a small form factor. Finally, a small 1.3” circular LCD was chosen due to its pixel density, integrated touch controller, and ease-of-use. Everything was assembled into a custom-designed and 3D-printed housing that fits neatly over the bike’s handlebars and features an area to store a USB battery bank.

Analyzing Big Data with grep and awk
The Cloud has many features of a large, distributed, and very hard to use computer. The Cloud indeed offers to manage storage and compute resources for us. Great! But these gems are hidden behind a mess of APIs and YAML. The Cloud is sadly quite unlike the beautiful simplicity of UNIX.
What would a “UNIX way” be for such a Cloud computer? UNIX pipelines are a proven way to handle large amounts of data. After all, this approach of streaming through data with simple and composable utilities was designed precisely for the situation where input size greatly exceeds available local memory. Sounds familiar!

Parallel Grep and Awk
Now I’ll use this to do something useful: count the occurrence of each of the $O(10^7)$ features in the training file. I’ll use a map-reduce pattern. In the map phase I’ll run “feature_count.awk” with the following contents.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future Tech
The metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world.
Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility.
