🥳 Contribute to the WasmEdge Project via the CNCF LFX Mentorship 2022 03-Sept-Nov

Do you ever feel it's hard to contribute to an open source project? You may not know where to get started. You may be a little shy to share your insights with other people. If you were, the LFX mentorship program (similar to GSoC) is for you! If accepted as a mentee, you will be assigned experienced mentors from the WasmEdge team, and learn valuable software development skills. You will also receive a stipend of $3000 to $6600, depending on your location, so that you can focus on the work.…

Improving WASI-NN towards WebAssembly| WasmEdge 0.10.1 Explained 2

By apepkuss In the article OpenVINO Inferencing using WasmEdge WASI-NN, we showed how to use OpenVINO to build a machine learning inference task for road segmentation. In the process, we noticed two interesting parts that could be further improved: wasi-nn crate is used in the example, which provides a Rust interface implementation for the WASI-NN proposal, greatly reducing the Process complexity in using Rust language to build machine learning tasks based on WebAssembly.…

Web3 Foundation grant project enhances Substrate to run on WasmEdge

The open source developers from the WasmEdge community have just delivered the first two milestones of our Web3 Foundation grant. The result is a Substrate implementation that runs on the WasmEdge WebAssembly Runtime. Why is an Alternative Runtime Needed? In Sept 2016, a computational DDoS attack was launched against the nascent Ethereum blockchain while most Ethereum developers were attending Devcon2 in Shanghai. The attack exploited an issue with the GETH software and brought down Ethereum nodes running GETH.…

OpenVINO Inferencing using WasmEdge WASI-NN| WasmEdge 0.10.1 Explained

By apepkuss On July 28, WasmEdge 0.10.1 was officially released. This piece is an introduction to the implementation of WebAssembly WASI-NN Proposal in WasmEdge 0.10.1, the first in a series of wasi-nn articles. Our next article will be on the optimization made on WasmEdge for the wasi-nn proposal. Nowadays AI inference is trendy. From a technical perspective, the regular workflow of AI inference task is loading model, performing inference, and presenting result.…

Introducing the New WasmEdge Rust SDK

With the release of WasmEdge 0.10.1, we're excited to announce a brand new release of WasmEdge Rust bindings: wasmedge-sdk v0.3.0 and wasmedge-sys v0.8.0. The links to their API documentation and source code can be found here. If you are a Rust enthusiast, welcome to take part in the Bug Hunt to win a Nintendo Switch! The following diagram shows the architecture of WasmEdge Rust bindings. The wasmedge-sys crate defines a group of low-level Rust APIs, which simply wrap WasmEdge C-API and provide the safe counterparts, while wasmedge-sdk defines a group of high-level application-oriented Rust APIs.…

Win a Switch with the WasmEdge Rust SDK Bug Hunt

With the release of WasmEdge 0.10.1, a brand new version of WasmEdge Rust bindings is here! The WasmEdge Rust bindings SDK allows Rust applications to embed WebAssembly functions or modules. This is especially useful for Rust-based cloud-native or blockchain infrastructure software, as they need to support untrusted user functions in a safe and efficient way. Click this article to learn more about WasmEdge Rust bindings. WasmEdge Rust bindings are divided into wasmedge-sys and wasmedge-sdk, where wasmedge-sdk is aimed at application developers, enabling developers to use WasmEdge to incorporate third-party code into their rust applications easily and safely.…
