BECKLEY, WV (WVNS)– Over in Beckley on Saturday, May 11, 2024, guests were able to enjoy the Coffee, Tea, and Sweet Treats event, along with the Emergency Preparedness Fair.

Visitors could walk around and try some delicious food and drinks, as well as take on the fun sights and activities of the Rhododendron Fair nearby. All they had to do was buy a $5 sample ticket and enjoy all the tasty treats.

The Emergency Preparedness Fair was also around to inform the public of the resources available to them.

“The emergency preparedness fair is for everybody to get together on the emergency services side, to teach the public on what to do when there is an emergency, who to call, to not be afraid to call, and to reach out if they need help. The sweet treats side is everybody just coming together as a community,” said Tabitha Horn with Raleigh County Emergency Services.

Horn said this is the third year that Raleigh County Emergency Services has been a part of the event.

The event was from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. in downtown Beckley.

ZeroPoint's nanosecond-scale memory compression could tame power-hungry AI infrastructure
AI is only the latest and hungriest market for high-performance computing, and system architects are working around the clock to wring every drop of performance out of every watt. Swedish startup ZeroPoint, armed with €5 million ($5.5M USD) in new funding, wants to help them out with a novel memory compression technique at the nanosecond scale — and yes, it's exactly as complicated as it sounds. The concept is this: losslessly compress data just before it enters RAM, and decompress it afterwards, effectively widening the memory channel by 50% or more just by adding one small piece to the chip.
