I was in Northern Ireland today to announce the opening of a new joint laboratory with SAP focused on Cloud Computing and Sustainable IT. The SAP and Intel Collaboratory, as it’s called, will be located at SAP’s research center at the Titanic Quarter in Belfast.

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is widely used in Secure Internet communication, especially for securing Web / HTTP traffic. TLS is a replacement for the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, which provides similar protections. TLS provides cryptographic services to application traffic payloads in the form of data authenticity and optionally data confidentiality. Each pairwise (P2P) secure session maintains independent cryptographic state for that session, which can aggregate to a large amount of state held on TLS terminators / servers, when millions of TLS connections are terminating at the same destination or domain (e.g. ecommerce / banks / eBay /etc.). Furthermore because TLS operates at the application layer, all cryptographic operations are performed on large application buffers, which require reassembly of all network packet fragments before operating on that buffer. This results in the need to provision expensive TLS aggregators at the front of each domain providing secure web communications and the solution does not scale well with increase in demand.

In his keynote at IDF, Justin Rattner described Intel’s vision for the future of television, an experience that will be more informative, more ubiquitous, more personalized, and more social. Researchers Mark Yarvis and Rita Wouhaybi describe a research prototype that provides a personalized entertainment experience across all of your devices. The experience begins with your set-top-box, which identifies your presence based on wireless communication with your cell phone, smart phone, or MID. The set top box can then personalize itself to you, displaying a personalized list of content, selected from broadcast television, prerecorded content, and streaming media. This list is tailored to you using information gathered from the devices that you interact with continuously throughout the day: your PC, your set-top-box, and your mobile device. Working together, these devices can understand your habits, what you are doing, what you are interested in, and how much time you have in your schedule. This same information can be used to select advertisements that would be most informative and interesting to you. The result is an experience that more closely matches your interests and lifestyle.
Justin will expand on this topic at the TV 3.0 Summit in Los Angeles today.

Intel Labs have been on the forefront of energy efficiency research for well over a decade. Our rich set of technologies, spanning circuit, architecture, and platform, is powering an exciting revolution.
Beyond Intel Labs’ past breakthrough in intelligent clock gating, ultra low voltage, and low leakage circuits, we have been solving a growing dynamic variation problem. Variations caused by thermal fluctuations, voltage drooping, and transistor aging demand conservative circuit operating guardbands. Processors run slower and consume higher power as a result. Our researchers have invented resilient techniques and deployed novel monitoring and error-correcting circuits that allow the removal of all guardbands. We have implemented a complete processor using these resilient circuits and demonstrated it at 2009 Fall IDF. Our measurements on this functioning processor show a solid 37% power reduction.

At Intel Developer Forum, numerous research projects were on display. One of the projects demonstrated a low voltage resilient processor that automatically adapts its power-performance point to achieve the best throughput at minimum energy. One of the recurring themes at this year’s IDF is energy efficiency. It is exciting to see so many projects that are taking proactive steps to be more environmentally conscious.

Network Proxy, or ability of a PC to Sleep Talk, is an “energy smarter” way for a PC to maintain Internet network presence at a very low energy footprint.
Imagine these scenarios: (a) At a coffee shop, you are wanting to share pictures on your home PC with a friend, (b) Online movie distribution service downloads movies, on-demand, to your Home PC, or (c) Enterprise or personal online PC manageability Service Provider updating your PC with latest security patches responding to a PC malware outbreak.

Intel PhD Fellowship Program winners announced!
Intel drives and participates in a wide array of education-related programs worldwide whose goals are to improve the quality of education and train students to be future technology leaders themselves. The next generation Intel “Rock Stars” could come from one of these programs.

At the Intel Developer Forum this September Justin Rattner will hold a futuristic keynote discussing the world of visual technologies, like TV and computers, after they evolve to the point where they overlap, a concept known as the convergence. He predicts this will come to be, specifically with the television, as soon as 2015. In his talk, he’ll look at specifically what the TV experience will be like and how it will be delivered. You can imagine 15 billion consumer devices that will be capable of delivering TV content in that timeframe with 100’s of billions of hours of video. We’ll need much more sophisticated ways to organize content and provide it on demand. Rattner says Intel labs are working on evolving technology to support incredibly useful and personal information with unique social experiences to get what we want, when we want it and wherever we want.
Hear what Justin Rattner has to say in this quick video and be sure to come and join us the last day of IDF for the signature research keynote to share ideas on the future of TV in the world to come.

I wanted to share one of the latest developments in our efforts to accelerate the development of the 3D Internet. Researchers at Intel Labs have begun to collaborate with the Fashion Research Institute (FRI) to help bring the benefits of immersive environments such as virtual worlds (VWs) to a broader range of business and consumer applications.

At the Spring 2009 Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in Beijing, Intel premiered a prototype demonstrating Group Scheduling, a technology to increase the capacity of VoIP in 802.16m, next-generation WiMAX networks. At IDF we demonstrated the reduction in size of the DL-MAP (management overhead information) for VoIP traffic with group scheduling. Here we demonstrate how the reduction in the MAP overhead leads to capacity gains, thereby supporting larger number of VoIP calls in next-gen WiMAX networks.
