  1. Sakeena Fiza Helps NVIDIA Hardware Succeed at Scale

    NVIDIA validation engineer Sakeena Fiza validates new hardware before mass production in its data centre systems lab. One memorable moment was the first successful system-level enumeration of the Rubin GPU. She compares validation to solving crimes, finding and reproducing issues before customers do, across trays, racks, clusters and customers' AI factories.

  1. A low-carbon computing platform from your retired phones

    With Google's support, UC San Diego plans a data centre using motherboards from 2,000 retired Pixel phones to provide low-cost, low-carbon cloud computing for hundreds of students and faculty. SPEC benchmarks show 25–50 phones roughly equal one modern server. Phones form Kubernetes-managed clusters of 25–50 devices, with launch expected in autumn 2026.
