Researchers from the Intel lab in Pittsburgh have been working with physicians on a tool to assist them in diagnosing skin cancer. At IDF in San Francisco this week, they demonstrated the project. Once a digital photo of the skin lesion is captured, doctors can use the image to query for similar cases in a large database of skin lesions that have already been diagnosed. Having access to this collection of relevant knowledge, doctors will have more information to treat their patients.

Justin Rattner gave a pretty fascinating keynote at IDF today about what he thought the big advances would be by 2050. He included three demonstrations from some out-there research that is happening in some of intel’s “Lab-lets” in Seattle and Pittsburgh. I had a chance to chat with a few of the researchers a few weeks before to get a sneak peak and grabbed some video of their work - take a look at the videos below to see what Rattner showed today in his keynote:

Today at an intel developer forum press briefing, Intel Fellow Jim Held provided us with some insights into CVC, or Connected Visual Computing. He discussed what projects and technologies researchers at Intel are working on for enabling it.
To me, CVC is primarily about the next level in human-computer interaction. It is about fascinating new ways people can interact with computers - and each other. In the not so distant past, the Internet to me meant going to the static HTML pages and patiently waiting for them to load. Then, clicking on links and scrolling through the pages, all alone in my room.

One of the most abused terms today is “core count”. Depending on who you ask, a core might mean a full-fledged IA Core (e.g. a Core 2), or it might mean something substantially less…like a small processing element with an ALU and local storage. Recently, I was guilty of this, too. In my defense, I was taking a decidedly software-oriented view of core count: what is the overall degree of parallelism have to find in my application?
