System Development

CDD has progressed development in a number of areas of cyber security which call upon techniques from expert systems, neural networks, machine learning, deep neural networks and augmented human cognition (that some confuse with AI).

A modest portfolio of sub-systems are available to consultants in the performance of specialist security services.

Some organisations have adopted similar techniques in bespoke engineering scenarios.

CDD Recent Reading (for research guidance and commentary)

A question is repeatedly arising for CDD, namely how firms and individuals might get involed with machine learning architectures.

A really good start has been provided by a Dr. Jason Browlee...a very experienced proponent of machine learning (and AI if you like such terminology), and this document provides some excellent guidance on how to approach the subject. There is a very large corpus of material in the CDD technical library and this can be made available to anyone making a reasonable request and whom might benefit from such access. (Please make contact).

How CDD goes about preparing high-throughput hyper-parallel processing architectures using GPUs.

Details the instruction set and the microcode formats native to this family of processors that are accessible to programmers and compilers. The main purposes of this document are to specify the language constructs and behavior, including the organization of each type of instruction in both text syntax and binary format. Also it provide a reference of instruction operation that compiler writers can use to maximize performance of the general purpose AMD processor.
