Intel Chip Chat

Jim Greene, a product marketing engineer focused on server security technologies at Intel, stops by to talk about his book: Intel Trusted Execution Technology for Server Platforms: A Guide to More Secure Datacenters. Jim has agreed to give away autographed copies of the book to the first 5 people that follow @techallyson on Twitter and tweet her for a copy. Jim also discusses how to stay ahead of emerging threats: 1. Increase your ability to detect attacks (be it on the networks or malware) via sensors and analytics? 2. Increase your protections to protect data and harden the platform. 3. Innovate for recovery – how do we manage the mayhem? For more information, visit www.intel.com/txt.

Michael Kearns, the founder and CEO of Amartus, stops by to talk about automating the delivery of services on provider networks and building capabilities around SDN (software defined networking) and NFV (network function virtualization) for a truly elastic/on-demand model, not only for current cloud workloads but also network functions and services.

In this archive of a livecast from Mobile World Congress, Nicole Scott (editor, MobileGeeks.com) and Chippy AKA Steve Paine (editor, UltraBookNews.com), stop by to talk about trends in the mobile/tablet space. They talk about the evolution of the mobile OS into the productivity space, the emergence of various security solutions for the mobile and tablet devices, what’s coming up in the wearables market, and as well as touching on the maker movement and where the Intel® Galileo board might take us.

Greg Matson, the director of SSD Strategic Planning and Product Marketing at Intel, discusses the launch of the Intel® Solid-State Drive Data Center P3700 series, which offer extremely high performance (6 traditional hard drives = 1 SSD) for apps like big data workloads. It’s also the first set of PCI Express based SSDs with NVM Express technology, an interface for IO that’s been designed specifically for Non-Volatile Memory rather than spinning discs.

Dr. Alexander Heinecke from the Parallel Computing Lab at Intel chats about his PRACE ISC award-winning research into earthquake simulations. The team of computer scientists, mathematicians, and geophysicists simulated vibrations comparable to an earthquake inside the Merapi volcano on the island of Java. They ran the SeiSol simulation software on the SuperMUC high performance computer, which executed 1.09 quadrillion floating point operations per second and used all of the 147,456 processor cores. Research like this, using even more powerful supercomputers, will enable further detailed simulations in a faster time, leading to deeper insights and scientific breakthroughs.

Raejeanne Skillern (@RaejeanneS), frequent Chip Chat guest and General Manager of Cloud Service Providers for Intel, stops by to talk about the digital services economy and to lay out Intel’s vision for disrupting the datacenter. The four pillars of the newly architected data center are silicon innovation (think customized silicon), moving away from the box model (pools of compute/storage/network resources with an orchestration layer), expedited service delivery, and monetizing data (realizing insight and value).

Lynn Comp (@comp_lynn), the Director of Datacenter Solutions and Technologies Initiatives at Intel, is back on Chip Chat to give a software defined infrastructure recap and then talk about datacenter storage and balancing the placement of data with how often it needs to be accessed. Intel® Solid State Drives offer better performance than traditional hard drives, and when coupled with NVM Express can dramatically reduce latency for certain workloads.
