Joe Curley, director of marketing for technical computing at Intel, stops by to talk about the recent International Supercomputing Conference and highlights from the event. On the most recent Top500 list, and Intel® Xeon® processor and Intel® Xeon PhiTM co-processor based system (called Milky Way 2) topped the list, more than doubling the performance of the 2012 top supercomputer. Also at the show, Intel demonstrated an Intel® Xeon® processor E5-based system that can build and prototype an Audi car in real time vs. the one year it previously took the car manufacturer to produce a physical prototype.

Bev Crair, GM of the Storage Division at Intel, stops by for a discussion on Intel’s storage strategy and where the industry is headed with flexible storage for cloud computing, big data analytics, and software defined networking. She also tosses out the stat that in 2020, we’ll have 40 zettabytes of data on Earth (which, if you stored a byte of data in each cell, would be the equivalent of filling 400 million people).
