Intel Labs

In this week’s show we explore computer vision and perception, and the research involved in advancing a computer’s ability to understand the real world. We talk with Intel senior researchers Rahul Sakthankar and Lily Mummert from the Intel research lab in Pittsburgh about practical applications like tracking honeybees in a hive, watching for signs of […]

The concept of “stemness” refers to the capacity within a stem cell to create different kinds of cells. It promises to revolutionize medicine. Isolated in the petri dish, stem cells exhibit interesting behaviors that scientists are just beginning to understand. With thousands of cells to monitor, computer vision technology is helping researchers analyze great numbers […]

Zero energy buildings, known as ZEB and also known as zero net energy buildings, promise to have a huge impact on energy consumption globally, especially since office and commercial buildings use nearly 40% of fossil based energy in the U.S. and Europe. Milan Milenkovic, who heads up the zero net energy project for Intel Labs, […]

What is possible if we could greatly reduce the bottlenecks in the transfer of data? Electrons and copper wire have taken us far, but only so far. What lies beyond is light speed. Silicon photonics is the transmission of data using light, which can go much faster and farther. It unleashes many new possibilities inside […]

Michael Payne directs the Interactive Experience Research Group, IXR, at Intel. In this video, he talks about new ways technology can enhance user experience at Research@Intel Day 2010, held at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. Beverly Harrison, Senior Scientist within IXR, demonstrates interactive touch applications on plain countertops, and Wendy March, Senior […]

At Research@Intel Day 2010, scientists reveal compelling usages for gaming technology. Water Wars employs gaming technology to educate users about water consumption and encourages their participation in public policy. Intel Labs researchers anticipate the move from text-based interaction to a 3D world… and not just for gaming.

For researchers at Intel, energy conservation can mean finding ways to exploit even small opportunities to harvest or save energy. In these research projects scientists are examining ways that a home energy system can make a building intelligent: detecting electrical loads, such as a toaster, when turned on and off and adjusting usage. And researchers […]

Vu Nguyen, Technology Evangelist at Intel, talks about the Connected Car, at Research@Intel Day, held at the Computer History Museum in Sunnyvale, California. Nguyen demonstrates wireless connection to a smart electric car: smart charging, diagnostics, monitoring, security, as well as use of light sensor technology for safe distance driving.

Intel Labs researches a diverse range things, from nanotechnologies that push the development of new chip technologies to human behavior and interaction with technology. This video is an introduction to Intel Labs’ annual Research@Intel Day which is a showcase of many of the Labs’ best projects. The featured speakers are Justin Rattner, Intel CTO, and […]

Justin Rattner, Chief Technology Officer at Intel, talks about Research@Intel Day, held at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. The event is a gathering of press and academia to meet the best and brightest minds in Intel’s varied areas of research. Intelligent energy management, optical data transfer, and user experience are among the […]

Earth Day – April 22: Here’s Intel IT‘s sustainability practice in a tour that zings from laptops to servers. At the heart of Intel IT’s strategy is the company’s own technology: the latest microprocessors that equip IT organizations to set policies, and manage hardware and software for high performance and energy savings. The techniques range […]

From the live webcast at the Clift Hotel in San Francisco on December 2, 2009, Intel CTO Justin Rattner delivers the opening remarks on the Single-Chip Cloud Computer, the latest Intel Labs milestone in the Intel Tera-scale Computing Research Program. See photos on Flickr

In this demo with Jonathan Ross, Software Architect, Microsoft: Bringing parallel programming to mainstream software developers is one of the main goals of Intel’s Tera-scale research program. Microsoft Visual Studio is a widely popular software development environment that can also be used for developing parallel applications to run on the SCC many-core platform. Visual Studio […]

In this demo with Rob F. Van der Wijngaart, Senior Software Engineer, Intel: The experimental chip was designed to operate from as high as 125W to as low as 25W by providing a variety of advanced capabilities to manage power consumption. Power use is largely determined by the cores’ clock speeds and operating voltages. The […]

In this demo with Adam Welc, Ph.D., Senior Research Scientist, Intel: As Justin Rattner emphasized in his Supercomputing 2009 keynote in November, the Internet is poised to transition from flat, 2D experiences to more immersive 3D experiences. Bringing real world physics to 3D graphics is essential to making these emerging online interactions true-to-life. For instance, […]
