Schools Seek Applicants with Passion and Defined Career Goals

International affairs graduate programs are looking for applicants who have a passion for public service and who can articulate how the program will help them achieve their long-term goals, according to admissions experts at leading schools in this FP Guide.

In application essays, candidates should clearly describe their career objectives, including which global issues or regions they want to focus on, and tie them to the specific degrees offered at the targeted school.

"Do your research, start the process early, and be specific. Attend an open house, get the information you need about the program, and think critically about how it applies to your long-term goals," says Travis Major, graduate admissions director at George Mason University's Schar School of Policy and Government.

Programs also want to see candidates who demonstrate a commitment to succeed in their careers despite personal or professional challenges or financial barriers, such as those faced by first-generation or lower-income students. One way of demonstrating this commitment is work experience in international affairs—which can range from study abroad to professional experience in the field.

ZLUDA v2 Released For Drop-In CUDA On Intel Graphics - Phoronix

Image
One of many interesting and original open-source projects to be started in 2020 was ZLUDA, an open-spurce drop-in CUDA implementation for Intel graphics. ZLUDA - developed independent of Intel and NVIDIA - is built atop Intel's oneAPI Level Zero interface (hence the name, ZLUDA) and allows for unmodified CUDA applications to run on Intel UHD/Xe Graphics hardware with near-native performance. Well, that's the goal at least but with the initial ZLUDA release were a number of support limitations. Out today is ZLUDA Version 2 that has been focused on ensuring it works well with the Geekbench CUDA test cases as an interesting stressor for CUDA on Intel graphics. Additionally, the Microsoft Windows support for ZLUDA has been improved while continuing to provide first-rate Linux support. ZLUDA Version 2 implements more host-side functions, a number of bugs have been fixed, I/O performance improvements, support for creating traces of CUDA kernel executions, and other enhancements for...

Google chrome crashed and now laptop is running very slowly. Malware? - Virus, Trojan, Spyware, and Malware Removal Help - BleepingComputer

Image
Hello, My Huawei laptop is not very old and has been working perfectly until yesterday. Google Chrome crashed and now it takes longer to start up, and neither chrome or Microsoft edge work properly (very slow and keep buffering). My avast anti virus has not found anything when I scanned, but I can't think what else the problem can be. I tried some of the steps in the post about a slow computer not being a malware problem but nothing changed, and since I don't have very much installed on my laptop I don't think it can be a problem with memory. Any help in fixing this would be very much appreciated. I have attached my log here; Rachel Scan result of Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) (x64) Version: 15-04-2022 Ran by Rachel (administrator) on LAPTOP-AJP0U36V (HUAWEI BOHB-WAX9) (17-04-2022 16:11:18) Running from C:\Users\Rachel\Downloads Loaded Profiles: Rachel Platform: Microsoft Windows 10 Home Single Language Version 21H2 19044.1645 (X64) Language: ...
