MorphCore CPUs Self-Scale from “motorcycles” to “SUVs”
Intel Labs has been working with an international team of university researchers to develop designs that configure themselves for a wide range of workloads, scaling down for lightweight tasks, and scaling up to maximize performance for heavyweight tasks. The collaboration between Intel and University of Texas has produced MorphCore, a …
Russian Supercomputer Adopts Xeon Phi
The Russian Academy of Science is aiming for the region’s fastest supercomputer in a joint effort with the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS, formerly the Soviet Republics). By harnessing thousands of parallel Intel Xeon and Xeon Phi cores, the 10 petaFLOPS JSCC supercomputer will advance the frontiers of Soviet …
Facebook Redefines Data Centers, Parallel with Intel Photonics
The world’s largest datacenters at Facebook will leapfrog competition by redistributing parallel system resources into homogeneous racks, and use Intel’s next-generation silicon photonics to interconnect Xeon and Atom processor racks to into more energy-efficient, and less expensive storage and networking racks. “Intel is collaborating with Facebook to redefine the future …
Embedded Systems Switch to Intel- Inside at CES
Intel already had the lowest-power processors for servers, workstations and PCs, but laid claim to the lowest-power embedded processors as well at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2013, Jan. 8-11, Las Vegas, Nev.) Intel’s evidence: An independent test lab report from The Verge, which pitted Intel’s Atom processor against Qualcomm’s …
Atom Micro-Servers Greening Data Centers
The next-generation of data-centers will profit from growing competition among multi-core processor makers, all of which are aiming for the low-power crown. At stake is a vast emerging market for cloud-based micro-servers designed to turn distributed data-centers into shining examples of green energy efficiency. As a result, Intel will …
Intel Scales Atom for Long-Life Mobile
Intel is the world’s number one semiconductor maker in 2012, but the biggest growth areas were in mobile chips other than Atom, according to IHS iSuppli (El Segundo, Calif.) To get ahead in mobile, Intel described a new low-power process for its mobile Atom processors at the International Electron Devices …
Atom “Clover Trail” Tailored for Windows 8
Intel’s Atom “Clover Trail” processor (Z2760) is custom-tailored for Window 8 to provide drastically extended battery lifetime of mobile devices and tablets, according to Technology Showcase presenters at the recent MEMS Executive Congress. “The Atom Z2760, code-named Clover Trail, was architected from the ground up for Windows 8,” explains …
Hawking’s ‘Big Brain’ Powered by Intel MIC
The world’s first symmetric multi-processor (SMP) to be powered by Intel’s Many Integrated Core (MIC) architecture is also the latest incarnation of Stephen Hawking’s pioneering Cosmos supercomputer for the Miracle Consortia. Cosmos makes use of SGI’s “Big Brain”–the SGI UV 2000–which houses 32 Xeon Phi co-processors utilizing a total …
Xeon Phi Supercharging Green HPCs
In a turning point in the high-performance computer (HPC) market, Intel has started delivery of its Xeon Phi many-integrated-core (MIC) processors, set for volume production by Jan. 2013. By incorporating as many as 60-cores into each Xeon Phi coprocessor, future supercomputers multiply performance at a fraction of the current …
Xeon Phi Wins Top 10 Supercomputer Slot
Intel’s massively parallel Xeon Phi coprocessor powered a Top 10 Supercomputer on the 20th anniversary of the Top500 Supercomputer List. At 2.6-petaFLOPS, Stampede ranked seventh out of 500 supercomputers, one of only 23 petaflop-caliber systems on this year’s list. Located at the Texas Advanced Computing Center at the University …
