In the 1993 comedy “Groundhog Day”, Bill Murray finds himself reliving the same (eponymous) day again and again until he mends his ways and becomes a better person. Nearly twenty years ago, when I entered graduate school, parallel computing was … Continue reading →

In this blog, I would like to share with you our recent breakthrough in Silicon Photonics research at Photonics Technology Lab of Intel, a laser modulator that encodes optical data at 40 billion bits per second. Here I am holding … Continue reading →

One of my favorite definitions of insanity is: “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” With that definition in mind, think about parallel computing. The goal is to make parallel programming a routine skill expected … Continue reading →

Why show 20,000 golden pigs to a select group of 85 press and analysts? Because it was a cool way to show both a future application capability (massive collision detection) and a new parallel programming environment called Ct, i.e. C … Continue reading →

By John Du, reposted from our Chinese language blog. Here I would like to discuss about some hot technical topics. About tera-scale, some readers of the Chinese blog made comments about the communication and the memory bandwidth solutions. I would … Continue reading →

In my first blog, I have already explained to you what “Silicon Photonics” is all about. You may be curious about what Intel scientists were doing in Silicon Photonics research and how hybrid silicon laser recently announced by Intel and … Continue reading →

When talking to folks about tera-scale computing research or the 80-core research chip, the question inevitably arises as to what general users would really be able to do with “supercomputer-level” performance in a desktop, let alone a mobile device. And … Continue reading →

By John Du. Each year we hold the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in China and in fact, we host the largest attendance of any of the IDFs held throughout the world. In the past, we gave our presentations in Chinese … Continue reading →
