Check out this news article I just posted on “Channeling the Data Flood,” which covers a talk given this week by Intel Fellow Jim Held, Director of Tera-scale Computing Research. Jim talked about the massive amounts of data humans are … Continue reading →

For Intel’s hardcore lab jocks, one the most exciting events each year is the International Solid States Circuits Conference. It’s the Olympics of circuit design, where top researchers from industry and academia present their latest advancements in computing and communications … Continue reading →

Whenever I speak about Intel Labs’ Tera-scale Computing Research program I face skepticism about how far the growth to multiple cores can extend. “How will anyone ever use 100′s of cores on one task?” sums up the typical comments. Coordinating … Continue reading →

Justin Rattner, head of Intel Labs and Chief Technology Officer, will be in San Francisco today announcing and demonstrating a new research milestone in the labs tera-scale research effort. Watch him make the announcement live in this blog at 10:00am … Continue reading →

About a year ago, Intel and Microsoft each invested $10M in jointly funding Universal Parallel Computing Research Centers at UC Berkeley and U of Illinois to make parallel programming mainstream in future client software. I’ve had the pleasure of attending … Continue reading →

This past month I took part in a technology showcase that we held in New York City to introduce the media to some innovations on the horizon that we think will change the lives of everyday people – not just … Continue reading →

Last year at the Research at Intel day we demoed a ray traced version of “Enemy Territory: Quake Wars” for the first time. Two month later at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco we showed an enhanced and faster … Continue reading →

The continued growth of data rates in servers, routers and high-bandwidth computing systems has led to an increased interest in optical backplanes for these applications. Data rates in the backplane are increasing to several Gbps/channel and higher. The trend to … Continue reading →

Now we are already in a Multi-core era, dual-core has become mainstream, and some people even have Quad-core CPUs in their desktop PC. But some people still are are not clear if, in the future more cores will benefit them, … Continue reading →

Today, it’s a pleasure for me to report that Intel and Microsoft are joining forces to accelerate the mainstream adoption of highly parallel computing technology. Together, the two companies are pioneering the concept of industry-funded “Universal Parallel Computing Research Centers” … Continue reading →
