Intel Chip Chat

You've heard of hot-rodding cars, which is to modify a vehicle to make it faster or more powerful, but did you know that you can do the same with computer chips? It's called overclocking, and Intel Chip Chat host Marcus Yam talks to Dan Ragland, Principal Engineer in Intel’s Performance Tuning and Overclocking Architecture team, about what it takes to 'hot-rod' your PC.

Intel Chip Chat returns in 2021 with a new focus, new format and new host. Join technology evangelist Marcus Yam and a rotating cast of industry experts who will unpack and explain technical topics in easy-to-understand terms.

Andy Rudoff, Senior Principal Engineer at Intel, talks with host Allyson Klein about Intel® Optane™ Persistent Memory (PMem) and the work done with software vendors to harness the power of the new technology, especially when it comes to database management and recovery.

Rudoff goes into detail about how Optane PMem represents a new tier between memory and storage that allows giant databases to be hosted across fewer servers. He also discusses the Persistent Memory Development Kit (PMDK)—a growing collection of libraries and tools tuned and validated on both Linux and Windows, and the Persistent Memory Programming book—a complete guide for developers that delivers comprehensive information with detailed code examples.

Both the development kit and the book can be found at: https://pmem.io/

Asha Keddy, Corporate Vice President and General Manager for Next Generation and Standards at Intel, joins Chip Chat to talk about her work to help drive the definition and delivery of 5G networks.

Keddy and her team "work to define what is next" in three main areas: contributing to standards and policies defined by governments and international consortia, accelerating the development of Intel technologies supporting those standards, and catalyzing future development by assessing current use of these technologies to uncover unfulfilled needs. Keddy additionally serves as Intel's 5G Executive Sponsor, serves on the boards of CTIA and 5G Americas, and is a former board member of the Wi-Fi Alliance.

In this interview, Keddy and host Allyson Klein discuss the wide-ranging industry investments that will be required to fully realize 5G and future networking standards. Keddy first highlights the importance of industry standards to accelerating innovation, ensuring interoperability, and enabling scale. Keddy then provides an overview of the ongoing work within the industry to deliver 5G and realize what Keddy calls an "exceptionally ambitious" vision of a "fully connected, intelligent society." Keddy additionally speaks to Intel's extensive contributions to enabling 5G, including technologies from Intel's unmatched portfolio for 5G infrastructure that make Intel the foundation of "how networks are deployed, run, and used." Finally, Keddy reports on how recent usage trends and policy developments are influencing the worldwide roll-out of 5G and forecasts future opportunities that the industry can address atop the foundation of 5G.

Rajesh Gadiyar, Vice President for the Data Platforms Group and Chief Technology Officer for the Network Platforms Group at Intel, joins Chip Chat for a primer on cloud native network functions.

Gadiyar helps to define and drive the next generation architectures, including key software elements, that are needed for future networks. In this interview, Gadiyar and host Allyson Klein discuss the need for cloud-native approaches in order to fully deliver new paradigms like 5G and edge computing. Gadiyar describes cloud native as "an approach to building and running applications and services that utilizes the best practices of the cloud computing delivery model" and as the natural the next phase of the industry's network transformation journey. Though significant progress has been made in virtualizing many key applications across the network infrastructure, cloud native approaches will be key to addressing customer needs such as further infrastructure disaggregation, automation and automated application lifecycle management, and composable applications.

Gadiyar highlights benefits to cloud-native approaches, such as application agility and flexibility, accelerated development, and modularity that enables scale, as well as key Intel investments in hardware platforms, software platforms, and open source initiatives that are enabling the delivery of cloud native. Finally, Gadiyar shares excitement for the roll-out of 5G in the coming months and points to several key technical principles such as disaggregation, automation, scalability, resiliency and reliability, and a new software lifecycle, that can serve as guideposts to customers on their cloud native journeys.
