u7778 New Aquila DSP Delivers Cost, Power, and Scalability for 2 km to 20 km Connectivity, Extending Marvell Optical Interconnect Leadership SANTA CLARA, Calif. , Dec. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell Technology, Inc . (NASDAQ: MRVL), a leader in data infrastructure semiconductor solutions, today announced Marvell® Aquila , the industry's first coherent-lite DSP optimized for 1.6 Tbps coherent optical transceiver modules operating at O-band wavelengths. By combining advanced coherent modulation with scalable O-band optics, the Aquila DSP delivers a power and performance-optimized solution tailored for the emerging market for distributed campus data center interconnects spanning up to 20 km with high bandwidth and low latency. The industry is shifting from large-scale facilities to campus-based data centers due to power and space constraints. While PAM4 interconnects remain the standard for inside data center connections and coherent data center interconnect (DCI) interconnects address regional data center connectivity, both areas where Marvell is the industry leader, campus-based data centers require optimized interconnects spanning 2-20 km, driving the need for coherent-lite technology. Marvell, leveraging its unique expertise in both PAM4 and coherent DSPs, is leading this market transformation. Traditional coherent DSPs are optimized for C-band tunable optics, which lack the scalability needed for high-volume data center deployment. The new Aquila coherent-lite DSP introduces an innovative O-band coherent architecture that delivers cost efficiency, power savings, and scalability, enabling the next generation of campus-based data center connectivity. "Interconnect bandwidth, data center traffic, and data center capacity needs are all growing at accelerated rates because of AI, and operators are limited by the available power delivery in a single building," said Xi Wang , vice president of product marketing for Optical Connectivity at Marvell. "Aquila offers data center operators a new, groundbreaking avenue for optimizing their infrastructure for sustainability and developing campus facilities that can scale with their customers' demands for cloud and AI services." "The transition to distributed data centers is creating a growing demand for innovative solutions to address campus connectivity challenges," said Osa Mok , chief marketing officer at TeraHop Ltd. (previously known as InnoLight Technology). "Marvell's Aquila represents a significant step forward, bringing coherent technologies to this evolving market. By combining the advancements from Aquila with TeraHop's expertise in coherent modules and scalable optical solutions, we are establishing a new standard for performance and efficiency in campus networks." "Shipments of coherent-lite solutions are expected to grow from sample volumes this year to over 1 million units per year by 2029," said Vlad Kozlov , founder and CEO of LightCounting. "Coherent-lite technology like Aquila from Marvell expands the options available to hyperscalers, providing a more energy-efficient solution to an emerging and critical use case." Aquila is one of the latest members of the Marvell interconnect portfolio, optimized for specific use cases to help data centers maximize the utilization and performance of their infrastructure while reducing overall cost and power per bit. The extensive 1.6 Tbps portfolio also includes the Marvell LPO TIA and driver chipset; Ara , the industry's first 3nm PAM4 interconnect platform; Nova family of PAM4 DSPs featuring 200 Gbps electrical and optical interfaces; and Alaska® A PAM4 DSP for active electrical cables.

It’s a quality that’s necessary to propel the story . Though we know where things are headed 10,000 years down the line—the Bene Gesserit’s ingrained importance; House Harkonnen’s pale, creepy power ; the downfall of Emperor Shaddam of House Corrino; the rise of Paul “ Lisan al Gaib” Atreides— Prophecy drops us into tumultuous, uncertain times. Most crucially, we know Prophecy ’s Sisterhood will one day become the Bene Gesserit. But we don’t know how or when that will happen, or who will be the leader that takes them there. We also don’t know how they’ll overcome the greatest threat to their existence thus far, currently manifesting in a slippery man who seems to be fulfilling a doom-filled deathbed prophecy left behind 30 years earlier by Raquella, the Sisterhood’s founder. This is a show that wants you to ride along even if you haven’t read any Dune books or watched Denis Villeneuve’s movies. So it makes the story a reasonably simple power struggle while giving us characters carefully painted in shades of grey, some skewing darker than others. Preexisting Dune fans will obviously pick up on more of the mythology, but signature elements are explained for newcomers. There’s a lot of sandworm talk, for instance, and Prophecy figures out ways to give us visuals to go with that despite not taking place on Arrakis. As for those characters we’re starting to really love to hate: Valya Harkonnen, reigning Mother Superior of the Sisterhood, is Prophecy ‘s ostensible protagonist—but her thirst for power has made her unlikable from the start. Her sister and fellow Sisterhood member Tula is far gentler on the surface, but she’s capable of being manipulated into committing horrific acts, as well as acting on her own worst impulses. Meanwhile, Emperor Corrino—another familiar name—is so unsteady a leader that he’s allowed Desmond Hart, a soldier with violent, mystical gifts, to weaponize his grasp on the throne. The Emperor is a reasonable man, or he was once, but he’s starting to see the value in using terror as an enforcement tactic. Hart, meanwhile, has yet to have a scene that doesn’t make the audience gasp, whether he’s going toe-to-toe in mind games with Valya or using his strange abilities to cause enemies to burn up from the inside. These are the opposing sides in Dune: Prophecy ’s game of thrones—and the main players, who can’t trust most of the other people around them, are drawn together by their shared goals. This results in relationships that are as unhealthy as the means they use to achieve those goals. And there’s no bond more toxic than the one between Valya and Tula. Thanks to a flashback episode (the perfectly titled “Sisterhood Above All,” the creed of the Sisterhood but also a theme for the actual siblings in the mix), we know that the Harkonnen sisters grew up on an icy wasteland distinguished by its whale-fur trade. The Harkonnens were dislodged from their Great House status thanks to a rumor—started by House Atreides, Valya says—of battlefield cowardice during the robot wars, which happened over 100 years before Prophecy ’s main storyline. This injustice, or perceived injustice, becomes young Valya’s obsession, and her fervor convinces Tula and Valya’s beloved brother, Griffin, to try and settle the score with the Atreides. He’s murdered for his efforts, and it changes the entire dynamic of the Harkonnen family. An even more rage-filled Valya, who has already begun to develop “the Voice,” is sent to study with the Sisterhood, so it’s up to Tula to avenge Griffin’s death. And while Tula loved her brother deeply, it’s understood that her decision to get engaged to an Atreides—then massacre dozens of his family members—was made thanks to Valya’s influence. The trauma bonding continued when Tula followed Valya into the Sisterhood, and Valya used “the Voice” to murder her rival, Dorotea—a crime Tula subsequently helped conceal—en route to becoming the Sisterhood’s second Mother Superior. Most recently on the show, Valya pressured Tula into convincing her favorite young acolyte, Lila, to undergo a dangerous ritual—basically, visiting the land of the dead to connect with her ancestor, Raquella—to learn more about that increasingly dire prophecy. Connect she does, but she also dies for her efforts... sort of, since Tula was able to bring her back to life using spice and forbidden technology, another secret that binds the Harkonnen sisters together. The “you and me against the world” mentality that helped convince Tula to join Valya in the Sisterhood has now expanded to be more of “the Sisterhood against the world,” though it’s Valya out doing the political maneuvering while Tula stays behind at the Sisterhood’s training grounds. While Valya does her best to manipulate the Emperor and figure out Desmond’s weaknesses, Tula has her hands full with the Lila situation and an increasingly active rebellion among the acolytes. It’s telling that Tula, the seemingly more gentle of the Harkonnen sisters, is also the more murder-y one. Yes, Valya coerced Dorotea into slashing her own throat, but Tula deliberately poisoned dozens of Atreides—and, just this week, had a vision of herself murdering an acolyte who’s come uncomfortably close to uncovering lies that the Harkonnens have been hiding amid an entire organization dedicated to telling the truth. With Valya and Tula on different planets for most of Dune: Prophecy , there hasn’t been much time for tender moments, not that they would share any. About the closest the adult versions of the characters have come occurred in this week’s “Twice Born,” when Valya—running out of options in her battle with Desmond—started to send a message to Tula asking her for some sisterly back-up, then thought better of it. But was that just another manipulation—more ammo as Valya plows toward her goal of reclaiming power for the Sisterhood in the Imperium—rather than a genuine need for familial affection? With just two episodes left to go, there’s no telling which Harkonnen sister will live, die, or betray... or worse, maybe even be the figurehead that elevates the Sisterhood into the Bene Gesserit. We’ll be eagerly watching to see how it plays out. New episodes of Dune: Prophecy arrive Sundays on HBO and Max.

Cable One Declares Quarterly DividendNoneOWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Asked if there was any special meaning to playing on Christmas for a second straight season, Lamar Jackson paused for several seconds before answering. That said it all. “I mean, it is,” he finally replied, trying to be diplomatic. “That means we're good, but at the same time, I do want to celebrate at home sometimes with my family now. I don't want to be playing on Christmas all the time — not all the time.” That sentiment seemed common among the Baltimore Ravens players this week as they prepared for their second consecutive Christmas road game. Jackson and his teammates will face the Houston Texans on Wednesday. Earlier in the day, the Kansas City Chiefs play at Pittsburgh. Games on Christmas aren't new to the NFL. The Miami Dolphins famously beat the Chiefs in on Dec. 25, 1971 — a double-overtime classic that still holds the record for the NFL's longest game. In 2020, New Orleans running back Alvin Kamara with six touchdowns in a game when the Saints beat Minnesota on Christmas. Lately, however, the league has been much more aggressive about scheduling games on Christmas. There were three last year on a Monday, and this week there are two. The four teams in action this Wednesday all played this past Saturday, giving them a little more time to prepare. But each is still wrapping up a stretch of three games in 11 games. And for Baltimore and Kansas City — the teams spending the holiday on the road — this means a bit of a scramble to find time to celebrate with loved ones. “Santa hasn’t come yet, but as far as my family, we traded gifts (over the weekend),” Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes said. “(His wife) Brittany’s a champ because I’m not there to help build the toys my family got, and the kids have opened up every single one of them.” The Chiefs are playing on Christmas for a second year in a row, although they were at home last season. Baltimore tackle Ronnie Stanley said there is an offensive line Christmas party planned for Friday at center Tyler Linderbaum's house. Jackson’s plan is to celebrate on Thursday. “I already celebrated Christmas with my family this past week," Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton said. "It’s more about the thought of calling people Christmas morning and just going out there and being able to go out in front of my whole family and do what I love. That’s how I’ll celebrate.” The Ravens also have celebrated a bit as a group already. “We actually had a team dinner last night here, which was really neat. And our chefs were incredible (with) what they put out there, so that was fun,” coach John Harbaugh said Monday. "And we are going to have the ability for family members from the Houston area to come over for the team snack after we do a walkthrough (Tuesday) night.” Don't expect Christmas games to go away any time soon. to a three-year contract in May to carry Christmas Day games. Playing on the holiday certainly gives teams a chance to be in the spotlight, although the Chiefs and Ravens already get plenty of that. The Ravens-Texans game features a halftime performance by Beyoncé. “Wasn't there a time when somebody was out peeking outside the locker room door during the Super Bowl or something like that? Was there some story on that?” Harbaugh said. “He got in trouble for it? There will be big trouble. I like Beyoncé, though. I can't say I'm a huge Beyoncé fan, but I think I like her.” (Harbaugh was referring to Bengals kicker Evan McPherson during the Super Bowl in 2022 when he watched Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar perform at halftime in Los Angeles.) Jackson, seemingly unaware of Harbaugh's attempt to lay down the law about the halftime show, arrived at the microphone immediately after the coach. “I'm going to go out there and watch,” the star quarterback said. “First time seeing Beyoncé perform, and it's at our game — that's dope. I'm going to go out and watch. Sorry Harbaugh, sorry fellas.” ___ AP NFL: Noah Trister, The Associated PressBiggest Differences Between Hulu's ‘The Handmaid's Tale' Show and the Book

The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has elected Tony Okocha as its party chairman. Okocha was elected during a delegate congress conducted through a voice vote and presided over by Dr. Adoye Omale, who represented the party’s national secretariat. Other positions filled during the state delegates’ congress included Deputy Chairman, State Secretary, Publicity Secretary, State Auditor, State Women Leader, Youth Leader, Legal Advisor, and Zonal Leaders for the four senatorial districts of the state. They are to pilot the affairs of the party for the next four years. In his acceptance speech, the newly elected chairman, Tony Okocha, vowed that the APC in Rivers State is set to take over the Rivers State government in 2027. He stated that his election silenced critics who believed the party was not united and could not conduct a peaceful election. Okocha praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, particularly for the resumption of petroleum product production at the Port Harcourt Refinery. He assured that the party would build on such successes to win elections in Rivers State. He said, “I am an emotional person if you know me very well. Our joy is that our members came on their own volition; nobody cajoled anybody to come, nobody bamboozled anybody to come here for the state primary election. They came to show their love for the All Progressives Congress. I like to reassure you. I’m sure you are seeing the indices and the variables already. “Those who said APC cannot conduct elections lied. APC will conduct and win elections and be in charge of government in Rivers State. Our business, with your support, is to ensure that we root out a rudderless government in Rivers State. By the year 2027, God keeping us alive, we will have an election in Rivers State, and our target, with your help, is to ensure that APC takes the reins of governance in Rivers State. “From Assembly to local government areas, National Assembly, and the governorship election, APC will win in Rivers State and also ensure that we return the hero of our time, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Let me again use this opportunity to say to Nigerians that we are on course. APC is on course in Nigeria. I’m sure you have watched or heard what has happened at the Port Harcourt Refinery some days ago. These are just the tips of the iceberg that you will begin to see. “We have told you many times that Rome was not built in a day, that the day you plant a seed is not the day you will harvest it. So, in less than two years, we have started up and are running. The President has also directed that Kaduna and Warri refineries should be on the same speed as the Port Harcourt Refinery. So, when we achieve this, I’m sure the problems of Nigeria will be half-solved. “So, let me say to all of us, particularly my colleagues here, it’s one family. I want to assure you of the appreciation of APC in Rivers State that we will come up with the best for the interest of all of us. I want to thank the delegation from the national level who have come here and dutifully and profoundly led this process to this point. Let me, on behalf of the party, thank you for your courage, dexterity, and the love you have for the party. “For this reason, you have left all that you are doing to come to Port Harcourt to superintend this election to its logical conclusion. We would not have succeeded in concluding this process if INEC had not come to preside over this election. Of course, it’s their responsibility to preside over party primary elections. The leader of the delegation is no other person than the leader of INEC in the state. He came here himself.” The party’s National Vice Chairman, South-South, Chief Victor Giadom, commended the party delegates for the peaceful manner in which they conducted themselves during the state delegate congress. He noted that the peaceful conduct of the state delegate congress demonstrated that APC in Rivers State is a united and indivisible party. He called on party members to support the new executive to move the party forward. The state delegate congress was supervised by the state Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr. Joseph Alalibo.

Explosion at Turkish ammunition factory leaves 11 deadOne suspects that there are those whose favourite sporting indulgence is to launch little social media grenades before standing back to admire their handiwork. A million impressions! 700,000 likes! Once the currency of the geeky in-your-folks’-basement-keyboard-warrior, it has become a more mainstream means of satisfaction to a certain demographic. It would be remiss, though, to suggest the age group appeals to those who are barely of legal age to drink. Last week Roger Mitchell, the former SPL chief – the one who recommended that the league knock back a Sky Sports broadcasting deal in 2002 – detonated one of those social media bombs with a tweet about women’s football that promptly blew up. As England internationalist Lucy Bronze suggested that 99.9% of women’s players will have to work when they finish playing rather than live off their earnings, Mitchell was very keen to offer his thoughts. ‘The entitlement of women’s football is totally off the scale,’ he wrote. ‘They arrived yesterday. They have no real audience. And yet...World class male players of the 80s didn’t get “for life” wages. Stars in the 60s needed a testimonial to maybe buy a pub and work another 35 years.’ The point that Bronze was making, and entirely lost here, was that the position of women’s football is a million miles off of its male equivalent. Her observation was simply this; it is unlikely that any current player in the England team will have any financial worries when the time comes to hang up their boots. Indeed, there will be bang-average Championship and League One players in England who need never dirty their hands when they finish playing. This is not entitlement to discuss this. This is a question and not exclusive to sport, stained deep within the culture of our time, about creating genuine pathways to equality. If no-one talks about it and puzzles over how to offer means of correcting it, how can it ever change? Pointing out the differentials is not entitlement. And the reason why women’s football ‘arrived yesterday?’ Well, that’s an easy one. It was banned. It was not allowed. Growth was prohibited when the game was shut down with no oxygen to move and morph the way the men’s game did. Historically the women’s game attracted significant numbers at times before facilities were removed. It is impossible to know how things would have played out had those decisions by the old gatekeepers not been taken. But these are the new gatekeepers of the women’s game. The ones who have an opinion – and there is nothing quite so entrenched as a middle-aged man with an opinion – who has decided that the world must hear it. As Mitchell’s tweet attracted significant traction – surprise, surprise – the patronising rhetoric which followed offered some wry amusement. “There is a very large portion of the fan base of the male game who has deep resentment for how the female game has been 'forced' upon them. “I’d pay attention to that.” Quite what we are all paying deep attention to is an interesting question. Who is forcing the women’s game on anyone? Watch if you will, turn off if you will. Go to a game or consider it not for you. Both choices are fine. But it is here and it has a right to be here. It also has a right to wish to grow and market itself properly and attract commercial entities which will facilitate that. It has a right for players and chief execs and coaches to ask the questions about how it becomes more professional and how it attracts a bigger audience. AND ANOTHER THING Brian Graham has made it clear that he would be keen to be considered for the Scotland job following the exit of Pedro Martinez Losa. Graham currently juggles the duel demands of Partick Thistle striker for Kris Doolan’s side along with managing the women’s side. Twice he took them into the top six while also taking the to the League Cup final last year. By his own admission, the ceiling has been reached with the women’s team given the current lack of resources available. Erin Cuthbert suggested some months ago that tapping into some traditional Scottish qualities would enhance the national team and it is interesting to see if a homegrown route is pursued for this reason. Leanne Ross should also fancy that she should be in the running for the role. Having assisted Martinez Losa she knows the landscape of the national team while her own body of work would speak for itself. Glasgow City are currently leading the charge for this season’s title having had to regroup and rebuild this summer. Both candidates would offer something to Scotland – although both would also need to get a move on with their pro-license. AND FINALLY The SWPL is on a break for a couple of weeks to allow players to recharge. If the game is to grow and develop then a break makes absolute sense. It doesn’t help to have players who are mentally and physically fatigued – many of whom juggle working commitments with their football – working through a hectic schedule. The men’s game will miss its break this year as it accommodates the growing demands of international and domestic football and there is no question that it has an impact on performance levels. The women’s game will be all the better for a brief break.OWINGS MILLS, Md.

Pep Guardiola: If I can’t reverse Manchester City slide then I have to go

Ulster are reeling off the back of their heaviest European defeat in the professional era, losing 61-21 to defending European champions Toulouse in France on Sunday, and things don’t get any easier as they welcome Bordeaux-Begles, currently second in the Top14, to Ravenhill for their second Champions Cup pool fixture on Saturday. It has been a tough start to the season for Richie Murphy’s men, who have won just three of their opening seven games in the United Rugby Championship and would face a mountain to climb to reach the Champions Cup knockouts if they lose this weekend. However, Soper is confident that mindset can change if they can beat the Frenchmen on Saturday before a run of crucial inter-provincial URC clashes against Munster and Connacht over the festive period. “We’re probably a wee bit short of where we wanted to have been, especially those last few URC losses — they are two games we’d like to have again and have another crack at,” admitted the assistant coach. “There’s different things impacting on that at the minute, every team goes through it — we’re a bit banged up in the backs at the moment, which is putting a lot of load into the guys who are available, which isn’t ideal. “We’re making progress but we need to get results. At the end of the day it’s the business we’re in and we’re not where we want to be. “But we have a run of games where we can very quickly turn the feeling of what the season looks like for us and for everyone outside as well with a couple of big results over the next three weeks.” John Cooney could be back for the clash with Bordeaux, but Ben Carson and Stewart Moore are doubts.Iris Recognition Market to Witness Massive Growth | Major Giants Iris ID, IDEMIA, NEC

Schools will be able to sign up for the clubs from Wednesday - with 750 set to be picked for a year-long pilot starting in April. 1 Free primary school breakfast clubs will start next year Credit: Getty Parents can get an extra half hour of childcare at the start of the day under the pilot. And youngsters will get a healthy and filling breakfast to start the school day. Chancellor Rachel Reeves tripled funding for the clubs to £33billion in last month's Budget. The extra cash covers equipment and staffing for schools trying out the scheme.

Once the clubs get started, more than 4.6million youngsters will be eligible for school breakfasts.

"Breakfast clubs make a huge difference in terms of behaviour, attainment and attendance." The scheme will only be introduced in England, as education is a devolved matter. Youngsters at state primary schools in Wales can already get free breakfasts. The Scottish government has also pledged to bring in free breakfast clubs in all primaries. London mayor Sadiq Khan has also launched a scheme giving free school dinners to all primary pupils.Pep Guardiola has pledged to step aside if he fails to turn around Manchester City’s poor run of form. The City boss is enduring the worst run of his glittering managerial career after a six-game winless streak featuring five successive defeats and a calamitous 3-3 draw in a match his side had led 3-0. The 53-year-old, who has won 18 trophies since taking charge at the Etihad Stadium in 2016, signed a contract extension through to the summer of 2027 just over a week ago. Yet, despite his remarkable successes, he still considers himself vulnerable to the sack and has pleaded with the club to keep faith. “I don’t want to stay in the place if I feel like I’m a problem,” said the Spaniard, who watched in obvious frustration as City conceded three times in the last 15 minutes in a dramatic capitulation against Feyenoord in midweek. “I don’t want to stay here just because the contract is there. “My chairman knows it. I said to him, ‘Give me the chance to try come back’, and especially when everybody comes back (from injury) and see what happens. “After, if I’m not able to do it, we have to change because, of course, (the past) nine years are dead. “More than ever I ask to my hierarchy, give me the chance. “Will it be easy for me now? No. I have the feeling that still I have a job to do and I want to do it.” City have been hampered by a raft of injuries this term, most pertinently to midfield talisman and Ballon d’Or winner Rodri. The Euro 2024 winner is expected to miss the remainder of the season and his absence has been keenly felt over the past two months. Playmaker Kevin De Bruyne has also not started a match since September. The pressure continues to build with champions City facing a crucial trip to title rivals and Premier League leaders Liverpool on Sunday. Defeat would leave City trailing Arne Slot’s side by 11 points. “I don’t enjoy it at all, I don’t like it,” said Guardiola of his side’s current situation. “I sleep not as good as I slept when I won every game. “The sound, the smell, the perfume is not good enough right now. “But I’m the same person who won the four Premier Leagues in a row. I was happier because I ate better, lived better, but I was not thinking differently from who I am.” Guardiola is confident his side will not stop battling as they bid to get back on track. He said: “The people say, ‘Yeah, it’s the end of that’. Maybe, but we are in November. We will see what happens until the end. “What can you do? Cry for that? You don’t stay long – many, many years without fighting. That is what you try to look for, this is the best (way). “Why should we not believe? Why should it not happen with us?”Barclays PLC increased its position in shares of Semrush Holdings, Inc.
