Intel Chip Chat

Join us on this episode of Chip Chat with special guest host Jake Smith as he interviews Stefan Deml, CTO and CO-Founder of decentriq. This podcast covers what decentriq is doing to offer solutions that prioritize data safety and simplicity in a new era of confidential computing. Stefan explains how until now, technology only allowed us to protect data at-rest and in-transit, but we are finally closing the loop with Intel® Software Guard Extensions (Intel SGX) and can protect data while it is in-use. decentriq has built their avato platform with at root of trust on Intel hardware and they are enabling data collaboration between multiple untrusted parties in an end-to-end encrypted environment. Stefan shares how decentriq’s customers will now be able to execute advanced applications like privacy-preserving analytics and secure Machine Learning (ML).

Cristina Rodriguez, Vice President for the Data Platforms Group and General Manager for the Wireless Access Network Division for Intel, joins Chip Chat to update on the evolution of compute infrastructure for the network edge. Rodriguez leads Intel's efforts to provide innovative Wireless Access Network solutions, including those for 5G. 5G deployments are a significant area of focus for the communications industry, with Gartner predicting greater than $4 billion in 5G infrastructure spending in 2020 alone[1].

In this interview, Rodriguez and host Allyson Klein dive into Intel's strategy for enabling new edge and 5G use cases. Rodriguez notes that while 5G and the big data explosion enable new opportunities for service providers, these opportunities often depend on low latency and high reliability in the wireless network. This means moving more compute closer to the edge, where the data is being generated, and harnessing virtualization and cloud architectures throughout the network, from data center to core to edge.

Rodriguez highlights recent successful deployments, including Corning's strategic collaboration with Intel to scale 5G in-building network solutions[2] and New Jersey's American Dream shopping and entertainment complex, an outdoor deployment powered by JMA Wireless XRAN and Intel Xeon Scalable processors which is one of the first FCC-authorized commercial deployments using the new Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) spectrum at 3.5 GHz.

Finally, Rodriguez reviews Intel's portfolio of hardware and software solutions for the edge, including the upcoming Snow Ridge solution for 5G radio access networks. First announced with Intel's customers Ericsson and ZTE at Mobile World Congress 2019, Snow Ridge is a 10nm multi-core system on a chip (SoC) with integrated network acceleration that extends Intel architecture into wireless base stations for 5G and edge compute. Intel's base station partners are already developing solutions leveraging this leading part, which will launch at MWC 2020.

Neuromorphic computing looks to the human brain and nervous system for inspiration. The brain is very good at perceiving information, learning from context, and inference. Understanding how the brain does something can inform how a computer could perform the same task. To be sure, neuromorphic computing isn’t biomimicry or about reconstructing the brain in silicon. Rather, it’s about understanding the processes and structures of neuroscience and using those insights to inform research, engineering, and technology. Those insights can help create a new generation of AI that’s better at seeing, learning, and solving problems.

Mike Davies is the director of Intel’s Neuromorphic Computing Lab and a veteran neuromorphic computing engineer. He joined us to talk about neuromorphic computing, what it means to “spike” a neural network, and Intel’s Loihi, a neuromorphic research chip that contains over 130,000 “neurons.”

Bradley, a national law firm with business clients around the world, faced an all too common IT challenge – replacing an aging infrastructure. With 541 lawyers across multiple sites, new offices continuing to open, and ever-increasing demands on data, flexibility and scalability were top priorities for the project.

The firm embraced edge computing to get greater performance and lower TCO from its infrastructure. It outfitted a new primary data center with DataOn HCI and Intel® OptaneTM technologies. Existing remote sites required small redundant storage and compute solutions to provide local access to data. Ellen Kirby, Senior Manager of Technical Operations and Senior Enterprise Architect, describes the value and performance of the edge implementation and lessons learned along the way.

Good maps rely on good data. The Red Cross’ Missing Maps Project leverages AI to provide governments and aid workers with the tools they need to navigate disasters like hurricanes and floods. Using a wealth of satellite imagery and machine learning, the Missing Maps Project is working to make villages, roads, and bridges more accessible in the wake of devastation.

In this episode of Chip Chat, we talked to Intel deep learning algorithms engineer and researcher Alexei Bastidas about the technology behind making maps from satellite images. Bastidas has direct experience with under-mapped areas. Prior to working with Intel he served in the United States Marine Corps in Afghanistan, and today he draws on that experience when working to provide better information for humanitarian aid workers via the power of AI.
