Title: Bold New Directions in Essential Computing

Over the past four decades, computing has excelled at analytical and clerical tasks, but in the 21st century the center of gravity has shifted -- mobile computing devices are transforming society, empowering a broad range of social and personal activities. Intel Research’s bold “Essential Computing” vision is focused on creating research breakthroughs which make technology more intuitive, helpful and robust. Such capabilities allow computing to enhance the essence of our lives – not just our work, but our personal relationships and growth, sense of community, and life experience.
Come hear about our research both in traditional computing areas such as context-awareness, sensors, ethnography, and our edgy new research on wireless power, robotics, organic photovoltaics, biosensors and programmable matter.

Title: Design Challenges and Opportunities for Future Processor Platforms with Wide Dynamic Range

Future processor platforms must provide ever wider dynamic range of performance and power to simultaneously meet the demands of hardware responsiveness, burst-mode performance and sustained throughput computing with maximum energy efficiency. Multi-core and System-On-Chip (SoC) processor and platform designs of the future must achieve wider range of voltage and frequency as well as optimal dynamic allocation of power budgets to different components in order to provide the best user experience under stringent thermal and energy consumption constraints. A minimal set of designs must also support a large number of platform segments, spanning enterprise servers at the high end to Mobile-Internet-Devices (MID) at the low end, to improve cost and Time-To-Market (TTM).
We will discuss several design and technology limits to achieving wider voltage-frequency range in processors. We will also present some reconfiguration, resiliency and adaptation techniques as well as research opportunities in these areas to overcome these barriers and enable more efficient dynamic power reallocations among platform components.

Title: Delivering Innovation from Research to Manufacturing

Intel remains committed to delivering the benefits of Moore’s Law by developing new generations of logic technology on a two year cadence. Each new generation provides increased transistor density along with improvements in performance and power efficiency. Simple scaling of transistor dimensions is no longer adequate to meet the requirements of advanced logic technologies and new materials and structures have had to be introduced. To sustain this relentless space of innovation Intel has in place a Research-Development-Manufacturing methodology that has been an industry leader in bringing novel technologies from research to high volume manufacturing. This talk will describe the advanced features of Intel’s 45 nm high-k + metal gate logic technology along with a preview of our coming 32 nm technology.
